Since 1973, INSEE provided each year, some statistics about French sectoral and regional (departmental one, since 2002) wage-earning and non wage-earning job. This statistics works is heavy and spend a long time to check all collected and calculated data because the level of disaggregation is...

Econometric models under complete information environment with game theoretic foundations are used in this work to analyze husband and wife labor force participation in Mexico. A mechanism of equilibrium's selection was designed in the context of multiple equilibria, in order to identify the...

Nonparametric techniques are usually seen as a statistic device for data description and exploration, and not as a tool for estimating models with a richer economic structure, which are often required for policy analysis. This paper presents an example where nonparametric flexibility can be...
