Decomposition Analysis for a Binary Choice Model

Yun, Myeong-Su - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2000

This paper introduces a new and simple decomposition method for a binary choice model that is equivalent to the Blinder …-Oaxaca decomposition analysis for wage differentials. The decomposition method is first developed for a single probit model and later … characteristic and the differences in "each" coefficient. We implement this decomposition analysis studying the racial gap in female …

Path Generation for Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulation of Mortgage-Backed Securities

Åkesson, Fredrik; Lehoczky, John P. - In: Management Science 46 (2000) 9, pp. 1171-1187

Monte Carlo simulation is playing an increasingly important role in the pricing and hedging of complex, path dependent financial instruments. Low discrepancy simulation methods offer the potential to provide faster rates of convergence than those of standard Monte Carlo methods; however, in high...

New Technologies And The Demand For Heterogeneous Labor: Firm-Level Evidence For The German Business-Related Service Sector

Kaiser, Ulrich - In: Economics of Innovation and New Technology 9 (2000) 5, pp. 465-486

This paper investigates the impact of modern information and communication technologies on the demand for heterogeneous labor. It starts with an interrelated factor demand system. The 'desired' level of employment which is needed in such models, is derived from a Generalized Leontief cost...

Weak measurability and characterizations of risk

Khan, M. Ali; Sun, Yeneng - In: Economic Theory 13 (1999) 3, pp. 541-560

In the context of a continuum of random variables, arising, for example, as rates of return in financial markets with a continuum of assets, or as individual responses in games with a continuum of players, an important economic issue is to show how idiosyncratic risk can be removed through some...
