Competition Reform and Household Welfare : A Microsimulation Analysis of the Telecommunication Sector in Ethiopia

Rodríguez-Castelán, Carlos; Araar, Abdelkrim; … - 2021

This paper presents a novel method for estimating the likely welfare effects of competition reforms for both current and new consumers. Using household budget survey data for 2015/16 for Ethiopia and assuming a reform scenario that dilutes the market share of the state-owned monopoly to 45...

Mostly Harmless Simulations? On the Internal Validity of Empirical Monte Carlo Studies

Advani, Arun - 2018

Currently there is little practical advice on which treatment effect estimator to use when trying to adjust for observable differences. A recent suggestion is to compare the performance of estimators in simulations that somehow mimic the empirical context. Two ways to run such 'empirical Monte...

Determinants and Policy Simulation of Firms Cooperation in Innovation

Heshmati, Almas - 2013

This research introduces an agent-based simulation model representing the dynamic processes of cooperative R&D in the … translated into simulation parameters which are calibrated to the point that the simulated artificial world are equivalent to the … one observed in the real world. The aim of the simulation game is to investigate the differences in sector responses to …

Modeling Employment Dynamics with State Dependence and Unobserved Heterogeneity

Prowse, Victoria L. - 2010

This paper extends existing work on labor force participation dynamics by distinguishing between full-time and part-time employment and allowing unobserved heterogeneity in the effects of previous employment outcomes, children and education on employment dynamics. The results reveal significant...

Traditional Norms, Access to Divorce and Women's Empowerment

Bargain, Olivier; Loper, Jordan; Ziparo, Roberta - 2022

Social norms can mitigate the effectiveness of formal institutions, in particular the way legal reforms may affect women's autonomy. We examine this question in the context of ethnic variation in traditional post-marital cohabitation, i.e. matrilocality versus patrilocality. We use...

Commuting to Work and Gender-Conforming Social Norms : Evidence from Same-Sex Couples

Oreffice, Sonia; Sansone, Dario - 2022

We assess the role of gender-conforming social norms in household decision-making and gender inequalities in the labor market with a parsimonious household model that endogenizes commuting time. Using the American Community Survey 2008-2019, we test the model predictions and find that women in...
