Risk aversion and schooling decisions
Belzil, Christian (contributor); Leonardi, Marco (contributor) - 2007
We develop a non-rational expectation econometric model of sequential schooling decisions. Using unique Italian panel data in which individual differences in attitudes toward risk are measurable (with error), we investigate the effect of risk aversion on the probability of entering higher...

Estimating complementarity between education and training
Belzil, Christian (contributor); Hansen, Jörgen (contributor) - 2008
In this paper, we formulate and estimate a structural model of post-schooling training that explicitly allows for possible complementarity between initial schooling levels and returns to training. Precisely, the wage outcome equation depends on accumulated schooling and on the incidence of...

Can risk aversion explain schooling attainments? : Evidence from Italy
Belzil, Christian (contributor); Leonardi, Marco (contributor) - 2006
Using unique Italian panel data, in which individual differences in behavior toward risk are measured from answers to a lottery question, we investigate if (and to what extent) risk aversion can explain differences in schooling attainments. We formulate the schooling decision process as a...

Subjective beliefs and schooling decisions
Belzil, Christian (contributor) - 2007
This paper considers the estimation of sequential schooling decisions made by agents who are endowed with subjective beliefs about their own ability. I use unique Italian panel data which provide information on i) the curvature of the per-period utility function, ii) schooling decisions, iii)...
