Getting Stuck in the Blues: Persistence of Mental Health Problems in Australia

Roy, John R.; Schurer, Stefanie - 2013

Do episodes of mental health problems cause future mental health problems, and if yes, how strong are these dynamics? We quantify the degree of persistence in mental health problems using nationally-representative, longitudinal data from Australia and system GMM-IV and correlated random effects...

Evaluating the Role of Individual Specific Heterogeneity in the Relationship Between Subjective Health Assessments and Income

Fernández-Val, Iván; Savchenko, Yevgeniya; Vella, Francis - 2013

This paper investigates the impact of income on an individual's subjective self-assessment of own health. We employ recently developed methods in the non linear panel data literature to account for the endogeneity of income and the presence of individual heterogeneity. We examine a panel data...

Persistence bias and the wage-schooling model

Andini, Corrado - 2013

This paper provides an expression for the bias of the OLS estimator of the schooling coefficient in a simple static wage-schooling model where earnings persistence is not accounted for. It is argued that the OLS estimator of the schooling coefficient is biased upward, and the bias is increasing...

Basel Capital Requirements and Credit Crunch in the MENA Region

Naceur, Sami Ben; Kandil, Magda E. - International Monetary Fund (IMF) - 2013

The 1988 Basel I Accord set the common requirements of bank capital to promote the soundness and stability of the international banking system. The agreement required banks to hold capital in proportion to their perceived credit risks, and this requirement may have caused a “credit crunch,”...

Spatial panel data models with common shocks

Bai, Jushan; Li, Kunpeng - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013

Spatial effects and common-shocks effects are of increasing empirical importance. Each type of effect has been analyzed separately in a growing literature. This paper considers a joint modeling of both types. Joint modeling allows one to determine whether one or both of these effects are...

Estimating Economic Efficiencies of Public Sector Organisations with Stochastic Frontier Analysis: Evidence from Turkish Higher Education

Erkoc, Taptuk Emre - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013

This paper investigates 53 public HEIs in Turkey between 2005 and 2010 including 5 full academic terms to estimate both their cost frontier and inefficiencies. The initial findings of six different models imply that Turkish universities perform quite well concerning their overall efficiency...

and Pace (2009). Unlike Matlab (MATLAB 2011), there was no R function specific to static panel data models for the … sectional functions available from spdep (Bivand 2013) to spatial panel data models. … data models available from the R (R Development Core Team 2012) package splm (Millo and Piras 2012). Additionally, we also …
