Behavioral Responses and Welfare Reform: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment
Hartley, Robert Paul; Lamarche, Carlos - 2017
Recent studies have used a distributional analysis of welfare reform experiments suggesting that some individuals reduce hours in order to opt into welfare, an example of behavioral-induced participation. Using data on Connecticut's Jobs First experiment, we find no evidence of...

Common Correlated Effects Estimation of Heterogeneous Dynamic Panel Quantile Regression Models
Harding, Matthew; Lamarche, Carlos; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2018
This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a heterogeneous panel model with lagged dependent variables and interactive effects. The paper adopts the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) approach proposed by Pesaran (2006) and Chudik and Pesaran (2015) and demonstrates that the extension...

Bayesian panel quantile regression for binary outcomes with correlated random effects : an application on crime recidivism in Canada
Bresson, Georges; Lacroix, Guy; Rahman, Mohammad Arshad - 2020
shown to perform extremely well. Furthermore, we implement the proposed framework to study crime recidivism in Quebec, a … implemented "tough-on-crime" policy of the Canadian government has been largely successful in reducing the probability of repeat … offenses in the post-policy period. Besides, our results support existing findings on crime recidivism and offer new insights …

What If You Had Been Less Fortunate: The Effects of Poor Family Background on Current Labor Market Outcomes
Cho, Sungwook; Heshmati, Almas - 2013
This study examines the correlation between childhood poverty and its influence on adulthood wage distribution, where childhood poverty refers to experience of poverty or poor family background during one's childhood. With the data from Korean Labor Income Panel Study, KLIPS, quantile regression...
