A nonparametric decomposition of the Mexican American average wage gap (repli...
This paper shows that average wage gap decompositions between any two groups of workers can be carried out using nonparametric wage structures. It also proposes an algorithm to... -
An alternative approach to estimate the wage returns to private-sector traini...
This paper follows an alternative approach to identify the wage effects of private-sector training. The idea is to narrow down the comparison group by only taking into... -
Comparing smooth transition and Markov switching autoregressive models of US ...
Logistic smooth transition and Markov switching autoregressive models of a logistic transform of the monthly US unemployment rate are estimated by Markov chain Monte Carlo... -
The estimation of utility-consistent labor supply models by means of simulate...
We consider a utility-consistent static labor supply model with flexible preferences and a nonlinear and possibly non-convex budget set. Stochastic error terms are introduced to... -
Testing for country heterogeneity in growth models using a finite mixture app...
We define a bivariate mixture model to test whether economic growth can be considered exogenous in the Solovian sense. For this purpose, the multivariate mixture approach...
