It is a common finding in empirical discrete choice studies that the estimated mean relative values of the coefficients (i.e. WTP's) from multinomial logit (MNL) estimations differ from those calculated using mixed logit estimations, where the mixed logit has the better statistical fit. However,...

In dieser Arbeit analysieren wir Einkommensverläufe von Frauen in Österreich. Unser Ziel ist es, mit Hilfe von zusätzlichen erklärenden Variablen wie z.B. dem Alter bei Berufseintritt, der Kinderanzahl oder einer Karenzvariable, Gruppen von erwerbst¨atigen Frauen mit ähnlichen...

This paper analyzes patterns in the earnings development of young labor market entrants over their life cycle. We identify four distinctly different types of transition patterns between discrete earnings states in a large administrative data set. Further, we investigate the effects of labor...

Using Bayesian Markov chain clustering analysis we investigate career paths of Austrian women after their first birth. This data-driven method allows characterizing long-term career paths of mothers over up to 19 years by transitions between parental leave, non-employment and different forms of...

In this paper, we study data on discrete labor market transitions from Austria. In particular, we follow the careers of workers who experience a job displacement due to plant closure and observe - over a period of forty quarters - whether these workers manage to return to a steady career path....
