We present identification and estimation results for the 'collective' model of labour supply in which there are discrete choices, censoring of hours and non-participation in employment. We derive the collective restrictions on labour supply functions and contrast them with restrictions implied...

We develop and estimate a model of dynamic interactions where commitment is limited and contracts are incomplete to explain the patterns of income and consumption growth in village economies of less developed countries. Households can insure through both formal contracts and informal agreements,...

In this paper we develop the collective labour supply framework to allow for corner solutions and nonparticipation in employment.We derive conditions for the complete non parametric identification of individual preferences.We extend our results to allow for unobserved heterogeneity and show...

A model is developed that allows for a lay-off rate and a job arrival rate in the intertemporal choice of consumption and labor market state. The identification of such a model is established without recourse to dynamic programming solutions and the minimum date requirements for estimation are...

L'article étudie l'impact de la structure économique locale sur la croissance locale de l'emploi. Cette croissance de l'emploi est décomposée en croissance interne (la croissance de la taille des établissements) et croissance externe (la création de nouveaux établissements). Les auteurs...

Dans cet article, nous examinons les données de salaires annuels, de 1976 à 1998, d’une cohorte d’hommes, entrés sur le marché du travail en 1976. La richesse des données nous permet d’analyser la dynamique des salaires, au cours d’une partie du cycle de vie de cette cohorte, à la...

L'auteur étend la méthode de Logit conditionnel utilisée pour traiter des données longitudinales dichotomiques avec effets fixes corrélés. Dans un modèle à deux périodes et deux états, il présente les conditions nécessaires et suffisantes qu'il faut imposer sur la fonction de...

We propose an original model of human capital investments after leaving school in which individuals di¤er in their initial human capital obtained at school, their rate of return, their costs of human capital investments and their terminal values of human capital at a fixed date in the future....

We propose an original model of human capital investments after leaving school in which individuals differ in their initial human capital obtained at school, their rate of return, their costs of human capital investments and their terminal values of human capital at retirement. We derive a...

In this paper, we investigate the use of interactive effect or linear factor models in regional policy evaluation. We contrast treatment effect estimates obtained by Bai (2009)’s least squares method with the popular difference in differences estimates as well as with estimates obtained using...
