Monitoring institutions in health care markets : experimental evidence

Angerer, Silvia; Glätzle-Rützler, Daniela; Waibel, … - 2020

This paper investigates the impact of monitoring institutions on market outcomes in health care. Health care markets … overcharging. We introduce two types of costly monitoring, endogenous and exogenous. When monitoring detects misbehavior …, physicians have to pay a fine. Endogenous monitoring can be requested by patients, whereas exogenous monitoring is performed …

Parental leave, (in)formal childcare and long-term child outcomes

Danzer, Natalia; Halla, Martin; Schneeweis, Nicole; … - 2017

We provide a novel interpretation of the estimated treatment e.ects from evaluations of parental leave reforms. Accounting for the counterfactual mode of care is crucial in the analysis of child outcomes and potential mediators. We evaluate a large and generous parental leave extension in...

Extended beta regression in R : shaken, stirred, mixed, and partitioned

Grün, Bettina; Kosmidis, Ioannis; Zeileis, Achim - 2011

Beta regression - an increasingly popular approach for modeling rates and proportions - is extended in various directions: (a) bias correction/reduction of the maximum likelihood estimator, (b) beta regression tree models by means of recursive partitioning, (c) latent class beta regression by...

Heterogeneity of regional growth in the European Union

Wagner, Martin; Zeileis, Achim - 2012

This paper uses model-based recursive partitioning to study economic growth in the 255 European Union NUTS2 regions over the period 1995-2005. The starting point of the analysis is a human-capital augmented Solow-type growth equation similar in spirit to Mankiw, Romer, and Weil (1992). Initial...

The more the merrier? : migration and convergence among European regions

Fischer, Lorenz B.; Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2015

Using a spatial systems estimator to incorporate spatial interactions and endogeneity of income levels and migration, this paper finds a positive effect of migration on cohesion within the European Union on the NUTS 2 level. As migration can generally be observed from low to high income regions,...

Spatial convergence of regions revisited : a spatial maximum likelihood systems approach

Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2009

This paper suggests that one should account for the endogeneity of important explanatory variables and the persistence of technology shocks when analyzing spatial convergence among regions.Specifically, it is argued that a systems approach is called for that includes the average growth rate and...
