Estimating the effect of state dependence in work-related training participation among British employees.
Sousounis, Panos - Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance, … - 2009
Despite the extensive empirical literature documenting the determinants of training participation and a broad consensus … on the influence of previous educational attainment on the training participation decision, there is hardly any reference … in the applied literature to the role of past experience of training on future participation. This paper presents …

More Female Manager Hires through More Female Managers? Evidence from Germany
Bossler, Mario; Mosthaf, Alexander; Schank, Thorsten - 2016
This paper investigates if there is state dependence in the gender composition of managers in German establishments. We analyze whether the number of hired female managers (respectively the share of females within hired managers) depends on the past hiring decisions of an establishment. Using...

Bureaucratic Minimal Squawk Behavior: Theory and Evidence from Regulatory Agencies
Leaver, Clare - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2007
This paper argues that bureaucrats are susceptible to `minimal squawk` behavior. I develop a simple model in which a desire to avoid criticism can prompt, otherwise public-spirited, bureaucrats to behave inefficiently. Decisions are taken to keep interest groups quiet and mistakes out of the...

Estimation of dynamic linear models in short panels with ordinal observation
Pudney, Stephen - Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice (CEMMAP) - 2005
We develop a simulated ML method for short-panel estimation of one or more dynamic linear equations, where the dependent variables are only partially observed through ordinal scales. We argue that this latent autoregression (LAR) model is often more appropriate than the usual state-dependence...

Dynamic Panel Probit Models for Current Account Reversals and their Efficient Estimation
Moura, Guilherme V.; Richard, Jean-François; … - 2007
We use panel probit models with unobserved heterogeneity and serially correlated errors in order to analyze the determinants and the dynamics of current-account reversals for a panel of developing and emerging countries. The likelihood evaluation of these models requires high-dimensional...

Persistence of Innovation: Stylised Facts and Panel Data Evidence
Peters, Bettina - 2005
This paper investigates whether firms innovate persistently or discontinuously over time using an innovation panel data set on German manufacturing and service firms for the period 1994?2002. We find that innovation behaviour is permanent at the firm?level to a very large extent. Using a dynamic...

Determinants and dynamics of current account reversals: an empirical analysis
Liesenfeld, Roman; Moura, Guilherme V.; Richard, … - 2009
We use panel probit models with unobserved heterogeneity, state-dependence and serially correlated errors in order to analyze the determinants and the dynamics of current-account reversals for a panel of developing and emerging countries. The likelihood-based inference of these models requires...

What motivates farm couples to seek off-farm labour? A logit analysis of job transitions
Biørn, Erik; Bjørnsen, Hild-Marte - 2013
In this paper some labour market consequences of transitions in the agriculture sector are examined by combining a 20-year unbalanced panel data set from Norwegian farm couples (households) and logit modeling of one-period transition probabilities. The multi-dimensionality of the problem follows...

Self-Employment Dynamics, State Dependence and Cross-Mobility Patterns
Caliendo, Marco; Uhlendorff, Arne - 2008
This paper analyzes the mobility between self-employment, wage employment and non-employment. Using data for men in West Germany, we find strong true state dependence in all three states. Moreover, compared to wage employment, non-employment increases the probability of self-employment...
