This paper provides a theoretical and quantitative analysis of various types of wellknown employment subsidies. Two important questions are addressed: (i) How should employment subsidies be targeted? (ii) How large should the subsidies be? We consider measures involving targeting workers with...

We propose in this paper a dynamic n-state transition model to correct for measurement error, that could arise for example from recall and/or design bias, in retrospective panels. Our model allows the correction of measurement errors, when very little auxiliary information is available, over a...

This paper specifies an estimable dynamic model of sequential discrete choices in a controlled jump-process framework. We study sufficient conditions under which the agent's optimal policy is stationary. We show that the observable event histories at the micro-level are sample paths of a...
