Individuals' uncertainty about future social security benefits and portfolio ...
Little is known about the degree to which individuals are uncertain about their future Social Security benefits, how this varies within the U.S. population, and whether this... -
Eliciting probabilistic expectations with visual aids in developing countries...
Eliciting subjective probability distributions in developing countries is often based on visual aids such as beans to represent probabilities and intervals on a sheet of paper... -
Measuring consumer uncertainty about future inflation (replication data)
We introduce a survey-based measure of uncertainty about future inflation, asking consumers for density forecasts across inflation outcomes. Consumers are willing and able to... -
Measuring the willingness to pay to avoid guilt: estimation using equilibrium...
We estimate structural models of guilt aversion to measure the population level of willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid feeling guilt by letting down another player. We compare... -
Semiparametric estimation of consumer demand systems in real expenditure (rep...
Microdata concerning consumer demand typically show considerable variation in real expenditures, but very little variation in prices. We propose a semiparametric strategy for... -
Mean-variance econometric analysis of household portfolios (replication data)
We investigate households' portfolio choice using a microeconometric approach derived from mean-variance optimization. We assume that households have heterogeneous expectations... -
Participation and study decisions in a public system of higher education (rep...
We analyze the decision whether to participate and where and what to study in a public system of higher education, based on a unique dataset of all eligible high school pupils... -
Dynamic treatment effect analysis of TV effects on child cognitive developmen...
We investigate whether TV watching at ages 6-7 and 8-9 affects cognitive development measured by math and reading scores at ages 8-9, using a rich childhood longitudinal sample... -
A test for multimodality of regression derivatives with application to nonpar...
This paper presents a method to test for multimodality of an estimated kernel density of derivative estimates from a nonparametric regression. The test is included in a study of... -
Consumer price evaluations through choice experiments (replication data)
We collect experimental choice data and estimate preferences for mobile phones with a special focus on measuring consumer price evaluations when consumers face difficult choice... -
Bayesian estimation of random-coefficients choice models using aggregate data...
This article discusses the use of Bayesian methods for estimating logit demand models using aggregate data. We analyze two different demand systems: independent samples and... -
Modeling category-level purchase timing with brand-level marketing variables ...
Purchase timing of households is usually modeled at the category level. However, many potential explanatory variables are observed at the brand level. To explain interpurchase... -
Frugal IV alternatives to identify the parameter for an endogenous regressor ...
A review of the econometric literature on instrumental variables (IV) estimation shows that the performance of traditional IV estimation relies critically on the quality of the... -
Measuring marketing-mix effects in the 32/64 bit video-game console market (r...
We investigate the short- and long-run effects of prices and software availability on the category-level diffusion of 32/64-bit video-game consoles in the USA. We adopt an... -
The price consideration model of brand choice (replication data)
The workhorse brand choice models in marketing are the multinomial logit (MNL) and nested multinomial logit (NMNL). These models place strong restrictions on how brand share and... -
Do randomized-response designs eliminate response biases? An empirical study ...
Out of the toolbox of survey methods for obtaining honest answers to sensitive issues, the method of randomized responses (RR) has proven to be the most effective one. So far,... -
Learning and fatigue during choice experiments: a comparison of online and ma...
This study investigates the effect of survey mode on respondent learning and fatigue during repeated choice experiments. Stated preference data are obtained from an experiment... -
Inferring disability status from corrupt data (replication data)
In light of widespread concerns about the reliability of self-reported disability, we investigate what can be learned about the prevalence of work disability under various... -
From temporary help jobs to permanent employment: what can we learn from matc...
The diffusion of temporary work agency (TWA) jobs has led to a harsh policy debate and ambiguous empirical evidence. Results for the USA, based on quasi-experimental evidence,... -
Sequential numerical integration in nonlinear state space models for microeco...
This paper discusses the estimation of a class of nonlinear state space models including nonlinear panel data models with autoregressive error components. A health economics...
