Explaining the body mass index gaps between Turkish immigrants and Germans in West Germany 2002 - 2012 : a decomposition analysis of socio-economic causes

Dang, Rui - 2015

In this paper, we decompose body mass index (BMI) differences between Turkish immigrants and Germans in West Germany for women and men. We focus on isolating the part of BMI differences that can be explained by differences in observed socioeconomic status from the part attributable to...

What differences a day can make : quantile regression estimates of the distribution of daily learning gains

Hayes, Michael S.; Gershenson, Seth - 2015

Recent research exploits a variety of natural experiments that create exogenous variation in annual school days to estimate the average effect of formal schooling on students' academic achievement. However, the extant literature's focus on average effects masks potentially important variation in...

Censored fractional response model : estimating heterogeneous relative risk aversion of European households

Xiong, Qizhou - 2015

This paper estimates relative risk aversion using the observed shares of risky assets and characteristics of households from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey of the European Central Bank. Given that the risky share is a fractional response variable belonging to [0, 1], this paper...

Euler, Michael; Krishna, Vijesh; Schwarze, Stefan; … - 2015

The recent expansion of oil palm in Indonesia is largely smallholder-driven. However, its socio-economic implications are under-examined. Analyzing farm-household data from Jambi Province, Sumatra, oil palm adoption is found to have positive consumption and nutrition effects. However, these...

Arellano, Manuel; Blundell, Richard W.; Bonhomme, Stéphane - 2015

We develop a new quantile-based panel data framework to study the nature of income persistence and the transmission of income shocks to consumption. Log-earnings are the sum of a general Markovian persistent component and a transitory innovation. The persistence of past shocks to earnings is...

Vector quantile regression : an optimal transport approach

Carlier, Guillaume; Chernozhukov, Victor; Galichon, Alfred - 2015 - This draft: September 19, 2015

We propose a notion of conditional vector quantile function and a vector quantile regression. A conditional vector … version of U. The vector quantile regression (VQR) is a linear model for CVQF of Y given Z. Under correct specification, the …(Z) is a monotone map, the gradient of a convex function, and the quantile regression coefficients u --> ß(u) have the …
