Exploring the Population Implications of Male Preference When the Sex Probabilities at Birth Can Be Altered

Denton, Frank T.; Spencer, Byron G. - Department of Economics, McMaster University - 2014

OBJECTIVE: The paper explores the population effects of male preference stopping rules and of alternative combinations of fertility rates and male-biased birth sex ratios. METHODS: The “laboratory” is a closed, stable population with five age groups and a dynamic process represented by a...

Second order beliefs models of choice under imprecise risk: non-additive second order beliefs vs. nonlinear second order utility

Giraud, Raphaël - In: Theoretical Economics 9 (2014) 3

This paper discusses models of choice under imprecise objective probabilistic information featuring beliefs about beliefs -- second order beliefs. A new model, called Second Order Dual Expected Utility (SODEU) featuring non-additive second order beliefs is introduced, axiomatized and...

Modelling the age dynamics of chronic health conditions : life-table-consistent transition probabilities and their application

Denton, Frank T.; Spencer, Byron G. - 2014

probabilities of contracting the conditions at different ages, of moving from one chronic conditions state to another, and of dying … surveys can be made even more valuable by allowing the calculation of the transition probabilities that define the chronic … conditions age dynamic process. We report the results of simulations based on transition probabilities that we have derived, and …

Transitions in labour market status in EU labour markets

Ward-Warmedinger, Melanie; Macchiarelli, Corrado - In: IZA journal of European Labor Studies 3 (2014) 17, pp. 1-25

We discuss the ease with which individuals can move between employment, unemployment and inactivity over time in the EU. Transitions from unemployment and inactivity back into employment are relatively weak in Central Eastern, Mediterranean and Continental European labour markets compared to...
