Empirical Estimation Results of a Collective Household Time Allocation Model

Klaveren, Chris van; Praag, Bernard M.S. van; Brink, … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005

In this paper an empirical model is developed where the collective household model is used as a basic framework to describe the time allocation problem. The collective model views household behavior as the outcome of maximizing a household utility function which is a weighted sum of the utility...

Vulnerability in a Stochastic Dynamic Model

Elbers, Chris; Gunning, Jan Willem - Tinbergen Instituut - 2003

Most measures of vulnerability are a-theoretic and essentially static. In this paper we use a stochastic Ramsey model to find a household's optimal welfare and we measure vulnerability as the shortfall from the welfare attained if the household consumed permanently at the poverty line. The...

A Flexible Test for Present Bias and Time Preferences using Land-Lease Contracts

Gautier, Pieter A.; Vuuren, Aico van - Tinbergen Instituut - 2011

When agents have present bias, they discount more between now and thenext period than between period t ( 1) and t + 1. How fast the future discount rate (evaluated today) decays is an empirical question. Weshow that the discount function can be non-parametrically identified withcontracts that...

Adoption of Electric Vehicle in the Netherlands – A Stated Choice Experiment

Bockarjova, M.; Rietveld, P.; Knockaert, J.S.A. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

In this paper, we apply a dynamic innovation diffusion framework to model adoption of full electric vehicles where we explicitly distinguish three major phases of adoption: introduction, growth and maturity. We combine this approach with an SP study to elicit individual preferences for...

Catastrophic Medical Expenditure Risk

Flores, Gabriela; O'Donnell, Owen - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

Medical expenditure risk can pose a major threat to living standards. We derive decomposable measures of catastrophic medical expenditure risk from reference-dependent utility with loss aversion. We propose a quantile regression based method of estimating risk exposure from cross-section data...
