Modelling multi-stage processes through multivariate distributions
Sengupta, Ashis; Ugwuowo, Fidelis - In: Journal of Applied Statistics 33 (2006) 2, pp. 175-188
A new model combining parametric and semi-parametric approaches and following the lines of a semi-Markov model is developed for multi-stage processes. A Bivariate sojourn time distribution derived from the bivariate exponential distribution of Marshall & Olkin (1967) is adopted. The results...

Reference dependent utility from health and the demand for medical care
Harris, Matthew; Kohn, Jennifer - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2015
We examine the effect of reference health on the demand for medical care. We propose and empirically implement a dynamic model of demand for medical care that includes reference health, an average of previous health states. We find that gain or loss from reference health significantly affects...

Big and Tall: Is there a Height Premium or Obesity Penalty in the Labor Market?
Lee, Wang-Sheng - Deakin University, Faculty of Business and Law, School … - 2015
Previous studies have shown that both height and BMI are associated with wages. However, by focusing on interpreting the partial effects of either height or BMI on wages while holding all else constant, some gaps in our understanding of the complex relationship between body size and wages...
