We consider the estimation of linear models where the dependent variable is observed by intervals and some continuous regressors may be endogenous. Our approach is fully parametric and two estimators are proposed: a two-step estimator and a limited-information maximum-likelihood estimator. The...

The paper analyses the main characteristics of the immigrant flows deriving from the two subsequent rounds of Eastern EU Enlargement in the UK and Italy. Using data from the National Labour Force Surveys, immigrants' employment outcomes and their economic specialisation across sector of...

We estimate a behavioural model of household’s remittances to investigate to what extent the level of financial development in the home country affects decisions on whether and how much to remit.

In this paper, we use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) in the 1997-2009 period for a large sample of migrants from 84 countries in order to develop an empirical model for the propensity by migrants to remit. Our model takes into full account the intertemporal aspects of the...

We consider the estimation of linear models where the dependent variable is observed by intervals and some continuous regressors may be endogenous. Our approach, an IV version of the technique devised by Stewart (Rev Econ Stud 50(3):737–753, <CitationRef CitationID="CR22">1983</CitationRef>), is fully parametric and two estimators are...</citationref>

The present work offers a detailed description of the recent European and Italian migration experience. In the last 150 years, Northern Europe first, and Southern European countries later on experienced the transition from emigration to immigration countries, and host today large shares of...
