Robust estimation of wage dispersion with censored data: An application to occupational earnings risk and risk attitudes
Pollmann, Daniel; Dohmen, Thomas; Palm, Franz - 2013
We present a semiparametric method to estimate group-level dispersion, which is particularly effective in the presence of censored data. We apply this procedure to obtain measures of occupation-specific wage dispersion using top-coded administrative wage data from the German IAB Employment...

Examining the structure of spatial health effects in Germany using Hierarchical Bayes Models
Eibich, Peter; Ziebarth, Nicolas R. - 2013
This paper uses Hierarchical Bayes Models to model and estimate spatial health effects in Germany. We combine rich … individual-level household panel data from the German SOEP with administrative county-level data to estimate spatial county … strong and highly significant spatial dependencies and clusters. The strong and systematic county-level impact is equivalent …
