Decomposition analysis for a binary choice model

Yun, Myeong-Su - 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 generalized to a simultaneous equations...

Generalized selection bias and the decomposition of wage differentials

Yun, Myeong-Su - 1999

) when the two expectations are measured using the estimates from the joint estimation of the whole model (log-wages and …-wages, where the deterministic component is computed using the estimates from the joint estimation. That is, the GSB is the … expectation of the residuals estimated from the joint estimation. It is appropriate to apply the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition …

Real wages and the cycle : the view from the frequency domain

Hart, Robert A.; Malley, James R.; Woitek, Ulrich - 2001

In the time domain, the observed cyclical behavior of the real wage hides a range of economic influences that give rise to cycles of differing lengths and amplitudes. This may serve to produce a distorted picture of wage cyclicality. Here, we employ frequency domain methods that allow us...

Household characteristics, ability and education : evidence from a dynamic expected utility model

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 1999

We estimate a Dynamic Programming model of the decision between continuing schooling or entering the labor market using a panel from the National Longitudinal Survey (NLSY). The model, set in an expected utility framework (with a power utility function), fits data on both schooling attainments...

Dustmann, Christian; Kirchkamp, Oliver - 2001

If migrants return to their origin countries, two questions arise which are of immediate economic interest for both immigration and emigration country: What determines their optimal migration duration, and what are the activities migrants choose after a return. Little research has been devoted...

Works councils and collective bargaining in Germany : the impact on productivity and wages

Hübler, Olaf; Jirjahn, Uwe - 2001

This paper investigates the interaction between establishment-level codetermination and industry-level collective bargaining in Germany. Based on a simple bargaining model we derive our main hypothesis: In establishments covered by collective bargaining agreements works councils are more likely...
