An alternative measure of intergenerational income mobility based on a random...
We propose an alternative measure of the degree to which income status is transmitted from one generation to another. Our indicator of intergenerational income mobility is based... -
Learning from peers in signaling game experiments (replication data)
We investigate peer group effects in laboratory experiments based on Milgrom and Roberts' (1982, Econometrica 50: 443-459) entry limit pricing game. We generalize Heckman's... -
Evaluating Californian under-age drunk driving laws: endogenous policy lags (...
When evaluating the effectiveness of a policy, most studies assume that the policy effect begins with the date of enactment. However, there often exists an endogenous policy... -
On the size distortion of tests after an overidentifying restrictions pretest...
In the linear instrumental variables model, we provide theoretical and Monte Carlo evidence for the size distortion of a two-stage hypothesis test that uses a test of... -
Labor market entry and earnings dynamics: Bayesian inference using mixtures-o...
This paper analyzes patterns in the earnings development of young labor market entrants over their life cycle. We identify four distinctly different types of transition patterns... -
Is God in the details? A reexamination of the role of religion in economic gr...
Barro and McCleary (2003, Religion and economic growth across countries. American Journal of Sociology 68: 760-781) is a key research contribution in the new literature... -
Estimating Engel curves under unit and item nonresponse (replication data)
This paper estimates food Engel curves using data from the first wave of the Survey on Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Our statistical model simultaneously takes... -
Binary quantile regression: a Bayesian approach based on the asymmetric Lapla...
This paper develops a Bayesian method for quantile regression for dichotomous response data. The frequentist approach to this type of regression has proven problematic in both... -
Finite-sample comparison of alternative methods for estimating dynamic panel ...
The Wooldridge method is based on a simple and novel strategy to deal with the initial values problem in nonlinear dynamic random-effects panel data models. The characteristic...
