Bayesian estimation of Cox model with non-nested random effects: an application to the ratification of ILO conventions by developing countries
Horney, Guillaume; Boockmann, Bernhard; Djurdjevic, Dragana - 2005
We use a multivariate hazard model for the analysis of data on the timing of ratifications of different conventions. The model accounts for two random effects, one at the country level and the other at the convention level. We use a semi-parametric Bayesian approach, based on the partial...

Evaluating the Dynamic Employment Effects of Training Programs in East Germany Using Conditional Difference-in-Differences
Speckesser, Stefan; Fitzenberger, Bernd; Bergemann, Annette - 2004
This paper evaluates the effects of Public Sponsored Training in East Germany in the context of reiterated treatments. Selection bias based on observed characteristics is corrected for by applying kernel matching based on the propensity score. We control for further selection and the presence of...

Economic Development and CO2 Emissions: A Nonparametric Panel Approach
Azomahou, Théophile; Laisney, François; van Phu, Nguyen - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2005
-1996, using a panel of 100 countries. Relying on the nonparametric poolability test of Baltagi et al. (1996), we find evidence of … structural stability of the relationship. We then specify a nonparametric panel data model with country-specific effects …
