(University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2003-05)Non-random item nonresponse makes identification of parameters problematic. Such nonresponse can occur with respect to both dependent and conditioning variables. A method often used to reduce nonresponse is that of adding ...
-
(University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2008-02-27)We adopt a structural approach to studying the effects of public transfers on consumption smoothing, risk sharing and welfare in small village economies. We calibrate the key parameters of a dynamic limited commitment model ...
-
(University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2007-06-12)The widely held view that separation has adverse effects on children has been the basis of important policy interventions. While a small number of analyses have been concerned with selection into divorce, no studies have ...
-
(Institute for the Study of Labor, 2002-02)In this paper we estimate the impact of transition on earnings inequality using data across Polish regions 1994-1997. Our central result is that earnings inequality is higher in regions that are more advanced in restructuring ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2005-09)This paper analyses data from the Irish Household Budget Surveys of 1987, 1994 and 1999 to examine the evolution of inequality of income and expenditure over that period. The paper calculates Lorenz and Generalised Lorenz ...
-
(University College Dublin; School of EconomicsUCD Geary Institute, 2007-08)The non take-up of social assistance benefits due to claim costs may seriously limit the anti-poverty effect of these programs. Yet, available evidence is fragmented and mostly relies on interview-based data, potentially ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2009-12)The main objectives of social assistance bene…fits, including poverty alleviation and labor-market or social reintegration, can be seriously compromised if support is difficult to access. While recent studies point to ...
-
(University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2001-09)Household surveys often suffer from nonresponse on variables such as income, savings or wealth. Recent work by Manski shows how bounds on conditional quantiles of the variable of interest can be derived, allowing for any ...
-
(Springer Verlag, 2008-04)We simulate a hypothetical family tax credit on a sample of French couples, using jointly a collective model of labor supply and a tax-benefit calculator. Work behaviors represent here a general concept of “effort,” and ...
-
(University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change, 2002-02)Variables typically used to measure inequality (e.g., wage earnings, household income or expenditure), are often plagued by nonrandom item nonresponse. Ignoring non-respondents or making (often untestable) assumptions on ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2010-10)By inverting Saez (2002)'s model of optimal income taxation, we characterize the redistributive preferences of the Irish government between 1987 and 2005. The (marginal) social welfare function revealed by this approach ...
-
(University College Dublin; School of Economics, 2007-03)There is a large empirical literature on policy measures targeted at children but surprisingly very little theoretical foundation to ground the debate on the optimality of the different instruments. In the present paper, ...
