New insights on unemployment duration and post unemployment earnings in Germany: censored Box-Cox quantile regression at work
Fitzenberger, Bernd; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2007
In light of nonstationary search theory (van den Berg, 1990), this paper estimates the effects of benefit entitlement periods and the size of unemployment benefits on unemployment durations and post-unemployment earnings in West Germany. For the unemployment duration, we estimate censored...

New Estimates of the Duration and Risk of Unemployment for West-Germany
Wilke, Ralf A. - 2004
This paper analyzes changes in the risk of unemployment and changes in the distribution of unemployment duration for the 26 to 41 years old working population in West-Germany during the 1980ties and 1990ties. The comprehensive IAB employment subsample 1975- 1997 is used for the analysis. It...

Unemployment Durations in West-Germany Before and After the Reform of the Unemployment Compensation System During the 1980s
Fitzenberger, Bernd; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2004
This paper empirically analyzes the distribution of unemployment durations in West- Germany before and after the changes during the mid 1980s in the maximum entitlement periods for unemployment benefits for elderly unemployed. The analysis is based on the comprehensive IAB employment subsample...

Censored Quantile Regressions and the Length of Unemployment Periods in West Germany
Lüdemann, Elke; Wilke, Ralf A.; Zhang, Xuan - 2004
We apply censored quantile regressions to representative German register data with more than 91,000 observations in order to determine crucial factors that influence the distribution of unemployment duration in West Germany during the 1980s and 1990s. We find that the effect of some regressors...

Reform of Unemployment Compensation in Germany: A Nonparametric Bounds Analysis Using Register Data
Lee, Sokbae; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2005
Economic theory suggests that an extension of the maximum length of entitlement for unemployment benefits increases the duration of unemployment. Empirical results for the reform of the unemployment compensation system in Germany during the 1980s are less clear. The analysis in this paper is...

Application of a simple nonparametric conditional quantile function estimator in unemployment duration analysis
Wichert, Laura; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2005
The paper analyses the potential impact of stock market developments on lending behaviour from different perspectives. First we scrutinize the impact of stock market movements on the banks? and on the borrowers? balance sheets. Subsequently we estimate aggregate credit supply and demand...

Bounds Analysis of Competing Risks: A Nonparametric Evaluation of the Effect of Unemployment Benefits on Imigration in Germany
Wilke, Ralf A.; Lo, Simon M. S.; Arntz, Melanie - 2007
In this paper we derive nonparametric bounds for the cumulative incidence curve within a competing risks model with partly identified interval data. As an advantage over earlier attempts our approach also gives valid results in case of dependent competing risks. We apply our framework to...

Application of a simple nonparametric conditional quantile function estimator in unemployment duration analysis
Wilke, Ralf A.; Wichert, Laura - 2005
We consider an extension of conventional univariate Kaplan-Meier type estimators for the hazard rate and the survivor function to multivariate censored data with a censored random regressor. It is an Akritas (1994) type estimator which adapts the nonparametric conditional hazard rate estimator...

Censored Quantile Regressions and the Length of Unemployment Periods in West Germany
Xuan, Zhang; Wilke, Ralf A.; Lüdemann, Elke - 2005
In this paper, we estimate the effect of different macro and micro variables on thedistribution of unemployment duration in West Germany using censored quantile regressions. We analyze unemployment periods of more than 91,000 observations from the years 1981 to 1997 drawn from the IAB employment...
