The quantity and quality of children : a semi-parametric Bayesian IV approach
Frühwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia; Halla, Martin; Posekany, … - 2014
Prior empirical research on the theoretically proposed interaction between the quantity and the quality of children builds on exogenous variation in family size due to twin births and focuses on human capital outcomes. The typical finding can be described as a statistically nonsignificant...

Are education and entrepreneurial income endogenous and do family background variables make sense as instruments? : a Bayesian analysis
Block, Jörn; Hoogerheide, Lennart; Thurik, Adriaan R. - 2010 - Current version: February 2010
Education is a well-known driver of (entrepreneurial) income. The measurement of its influence, however, suffers from endogeneity suspicion. For instance, ability and occupational choice are mentioned as driving both the level of (entrepreneurial) income and of education. Using instrumental...

Change and prediction of income and fertility rates across countries
Shin, Inyong - In: Cogent economics & finance 4 (2016) 1, pp. 1-34
This paper analyzes and predicts the changes of relationship between income and fertility rate of cross-countries using … between income and fertility rate, which is presented in the form of inverted S-shaped curve which shows the three regimes of … demographic transition. Some developed countries have completed their demographic transition in fertility rate, and in developing …

Family background variables as instruments for education in income regressions : a Bayesian analysis
Hoogerheide, Lennart; Block, Jörn; Thurik, Adriaan R. - 2010 - Current version: July 2010
The validity of family background variables instrumenting education in income regressions has been much criticized. In this paper, we use data of the 2004 German Socio-Economic Panel and Bayesian analysis in order to analyze to what degree violations of the strong validity assumption affect the...
