(Tilburg University. Center for Economic Research, 2006-06)In this paper we investigate the effects of emigration on growth in developing countries. We present a model in which productivity increases either through imitation or innovation, and both activities use the same types ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2012-04)Deprivation early in life has multiple long term consequences for both the individual and society. An increasing body of evidence finds that targeted, early interventions aimed at at-risk children and their families can ...
-
(Elsevier Science, 2003)We extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient (RC). If the rapid expansion in participation in higher education has ...

(University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2002-10-18)We extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient. If the rapid expansion in participation in higher education has been ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2001-08)In this paper we extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the rate of return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient. One motivation is that if the increase in supply ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2003-01)We analyse how progressive taxation and education subsidies affect schooling decisions when the returns to education are stochastic. We use the theory of real options to solve the problem of education choice in a dynamic, ...

(Elsevier, 2007)We analyse how progressive taxation and education subsidies affect schooling decisions when the returns to education are stochastic. We use the theory of real options to solve the problem of education choice in a dynamic ...

-
(University of Leicester, Department of Economics Working, 2001-11)We explore the significance of intra-couple and intra -household influences on three broad types of employment contracts: self-employment, performance related pay, and salaried employment. Individuals may pool income risk ...
-
(Irish Economic Association, 2009-01-16)This research is concerned with the skills-match between researchers' Ph.D. training and their subsequent university employment. Self-rated skills-matching is considered in light of the anchoring vignettes technique. ...

(National Bureau of Economic Research, 2004-11)Research suggests that teenage childbearing adversely affects both the outcomes of the mothers as well as those of their children. We know that low-educated women are more likely to have a teenage birth, but does this imply ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2009-05)This paper provides new evidence on the wage gap between informal and formal salary workers in South Africa, Brazil and Mexico. We use rich datasets that allow us to de…fine informality in a relatively comparable fashion ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2010-01)The informal sector plays an important role in the functioning of labor markets in emerging economies. To characterize better this highly heterogeneous sector, we conduct a distributional analysis of the earnings gap ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1996-09)The existing literature now features many examples where log wages are linear in years of schooling and which effectively attempt to correct for least squares bias using instruments based essentially on a single variable. ...
-
(Elsevier Science, 1999-04)We explore the possibility that different instruments may affect different margins of the schooling distribution, and consistent with recent evidence we find a large, significant downward bias in the least squares estimate ...
-
(Elsevier Science, 2009-11)We study how the possibility of migration changes the composition of human capital in sending countries, and how this affects development. In our model, growth is driven by productivity growth, which occurs via imitation ...
-
(University of Melbourne. Department of Economics, 2002-04)We consider three broad types of employment contract vis, self-employment, PRP, and fixed wage employment. We focus on the implied degree of income risk associated with each type of employment contract, arguing that such ...
-
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2007)While foreign-owned firms have consistently been found to pay higher wages than domestic firms to what appear to be equally productive workers, the causes of this remain unresolved. In a two-period bargaining framework we ...
-
(Institute for the Study of Labor, 2003-10)Parents with higher education levels have children with higher education levels. However, is this because parental education actually changes the outcomes of children, suggesting an important spillover of education policies, ...
