It's not that I'm a racist, it's that they are Roma: Roma discrimination and returns to education in South Eastern Europe
O'Higgins, Niall - 2009
extent of discrimination. The key results are that: the employment returns to education are lower for Roma than for non … to support the idea that a substantial part of the differential in labour market outcomes is due to discrimination …. Explanations of why Roma fare so badly tend to fall into one of two camps: 'low education' vs. 'discrimination'. The analysis …

Estimation of dynamic discrete choice models by maximum likelihood and the simulated method of moments
Eisenhauer, Philipp; Heckman, James J.; Mosso, Stefano - 2014
We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of moments (SMM) estimation for dynamic discrete choice models. We construct and estimate a simplified dynamic structural model of education that captures some basic features of educational choices in the United States in...

College attrition and the dynamics of information revelation
Arcidiacono, Peter; Aucejo, Esteban; Maurel, Arnaud; … - 2023
We examine how informational frictions impact schooling and work outcomes. To do so, we estimate a dynamic structural model where individuals face uncertainty about their academic ability and productivity, which respectively determine their schooling utility and wages. Our framework accounts for...

Immigrant concentration in schools : consequences for native and migrant students
Schneeweis, Nicole - 2013
In this paper, I study the impact of immigrant concentration in primary schools on educational outcomes of native and migrant students in a major Austrian city between 1980-2001. The outcome measures of interest are track attendance after primary education and grade repetition. Using variation...

The impact of truancy on educational attainment: A bivariate ordered probit estimator with mixed effects
Buscha, Franz; Conte, Anna - 2010
This paper investigates the relationship between educational attainment and truancy. Using data from the Youth Cohort Study of England and Wales, we estimate the causal impact that truancy has on educational attainment at age 16. Problematic is that both truancy and attainment are measured as...

Modeling the effects of grade retention in high school
Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo; Baert, Stijn - 2017
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short-run (end-of-year evaluation) and in the long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to other evaluation approaches, this model captures essential treatment heterogeneity and...

Modeling the effects of grade retention in high school
Baert, Stijn; Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo - 2015
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short- (end-of-year evaluation) and long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to regression discontinuity designs, this approach captures treatment heterogeneity and controls for...

School quality beyond test scores : the role of schools in shaping educational outcomes
Loviglio, Annalisa - 2023
I study how schools impact student performance and educational attainment throughout secondary education, and show that school quality cannot be easily captured by any type of rankings because students with differing characteristics and abilities benefit from different school inputs. To do so, I...
