Unemployment, negative equity, and strategic default

Gerardi, Kristopher; Herkenhoff, Kyle F.; Ohanian, Lee E.; … - 2013

(including unsecured debt, liquid assets, and illiquid assets) play in default decisions. In sharp contrast to prior studies that … strongest predictor of default. We find that individual unemployment increases the probability of default by 5 - 13 percentage … points, ceteris paribus, compared with the sample average default rate of 3.9 percent. We also find that only 13.9 percent of …

Detecting discrimination in the hiring process: Evidence from an Internet-based search channel

Eriksson, Stefan; Lagerström, Jonas - 2007

This paper uses data from an Internet-based CV database to investigate how factors which may be used as a basis for discrimination, such as the searchers' ethnicity, gender, age and employment status, affect the number of contacts they receive from firms. Since we have access to essentially the...

A simple procedure for the evaluation of treatment effects on duration variables

Abbring, Jaap H.; van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2003

Often, a treatment and the outcome of interest are characterized by the moment they occur, and these moments are realizations of stochastic processes with dependent unobserved determinants. We develop a simple and intuitive method for inference on the treatment effect. The method can be...

Testing the binomial fixed effects logit model; with an application to female labor supply

Winkelmann, Rainer; Xu, Lin - 2019

Regression models for proportions are frequently encountered in applied work. The conditional expectation is bound between 0 and 1 and, therefore, must be non-linear which requires non-standard panel data extensions. The quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of Papke and Wooldridge (1996) suffers...

Testing the binomial fixed effects logit model; with an application to female labor supply

Winkelmann, Rainer; Xu, Lin - 2019

Regression models for proportions are frequently encountered in applied work. The conditional expectation function is bounded between 0 and 1 and therefore must be non-linear, requiring nonstandard panel data extensions. One possible approach is the binomial panel logit model with fixed effects...

Identification and estimation of nonlinear dynamic panel data models with unobserved covariates

Shiu, Ji-Liang; Hu, Yingyao - 2010

This paper considers nonparametric identification of nonlinear dynamic models for panel data with unobserved voariates. Including such unobserved covariates may control for both the individual-specific unobserved heterogeneity and the endogeneity of the explanatory variables. Without specifying...

Starting Sick Leave on Part-Time as a Treatment Method?

Andrén, Daniela; Thomas, Andrén - 2009

This paper analyzes the effects of starting the sick leave on part-time compared to fulltime on the probability to recover (i.e., return to work with full recovery of lost work capacity). Using a discrete choice one-factor model, we estimate mean treatment parameters and distributional treatment...

How to evaluate the impact of part-time sick leave on the probability of recovering

Andrén, Daniela - 2009

This paper presents an econometric framework for analyzing part-time sick leave as a treatment method. We exemplify how the discrete choice one-factor model can address the importance of controlling for unobserved heterogeneity in understanding the selection into part-time/full-time sick leave...

"Half empty or half full": The importance of the definition of part-time sick leave when estimating its effects

Andrén, Daniela - 2011

This paper analyzes the impact of the definition of part-time sick leave (PTSL) when analyzing the effect of PTSL on employees' probability to fully recover lost work capacity. Using a random sample of 3,607 employees, we estimate an econometric model that aims to answer the hypothetical...

Is part-time sick leave helping the unemployed?

Andrén, Daniela - 2011

Using a discrete choice one-factor model, we estimate mean treatment parameters and distributional treatment parameters to analyze the effects of degree of sick leave on the probability of full recovery of lost work capacity for employed and unemployed individuals, respectively. Our results...
