This paper uses pooled cross-section data on recent school leaves in Ireland to model the determinants of labour market status and wages for young adults. Firstly we use a multinomial logit model to analyze whether individuals ...

This paper uses pooled cross-section data on recent school leavers in Ireland to model
the determinants of labour market status and wages for young adults. Firstly we use a

In this paper, we study implementation in “economic environments”. It is shown that there is a dense subset of the set of preference profiles such that given an arbitrary social choice function, f, and e>0, there exists ...

This paper reconsiders the literature on non-cooperative foundations of cooperative solutions. The goal of non-cooperative foundations is to provide credible non-cooperative models of negotiation and coalition formation ...
The goal of non-cooperative foundations is to provide credible non-cooperative models of negotiation and coalition formation whose equilibrium outcomes agree with a given cooperative solution. Here we argue that this goal ...
It has been nearly 2 years since the UK government reformed the system of local business rates to introduce a uniform business rate (UBR), but the debate continues over the merits of the new system. The change across regions ...
Who pays for future pension liabilities? In countries that have extensive private pension systems such as the US, UK and Ireland, the private sector largely takes care of itself through either occupational or personal ...

Value at risk (VaR) is a risk measure that has been widely implemented by financial institutions. This paper measures the correlation among asset price changes implied from VaR calculation. Empirical results using US and ...
The paper documents ongoing job creation and job destruction within 3- digit Irish manufacturing sectors over the period 1973 to 1994. Within sectors of low-technology manufacturing, this was due to the gradual development ...
To predict characteristic extreme traffic load effects, simulations are sometimes performed of bridge loading events. To generalize the truck weight data, statistical distributions are fitted to histograms of weight ...

The impact of international trade on firm productivity is tested by accounting for firms' import as well as export status for a large panel of Irish manufacturing firms. Two-way traders and exporters-only are found to be ...
Devereux, Paul J.(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2006-01)
Grouping models are widely used in economics but are subject to finite sample bias. I show that the standard errors-in-variables estimator (EVE) is exactly equivalent to the Jackknife Instrumental Variables Estimator (JIVE), ...
We introduce two simple new variants of the Jackknife Instrumental Variables (JIVE) estimator for overidentified linear models and show that they are superior to the existing JIVE estimator, significantly
improving on its ...
Do people care more about the environment as their income increases? In this paper we use micro data to tackle this question in two different ways. We first look at the correlation between income and attitudes towards the ...
