(Blackwell, 2008-01)This article examines the results of single-equation regression models of the determinants of alcohol consumption patterns among college students modeling a rich variety of covariates including gender, family and peer ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)We suggest a methodology to calibrate a collective model with household-specific bargaining rules and marriage-specific preferences that incorporate leisure externalities. The empirical identification relies on the assumption ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2009-08)The distributional characteristic is a measure which can be used in many applications in social cost-benefit analysis. In the application here, the distributional characteristics of a number of broad aggregates of goods ...
-
(Elsevier, 2007)The literature on household behavior contains hardly any empirical research on the within household distributional effects of tax-benefit policies. We simulate this effect in the framework of a collective model of labor ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)A widely shared intuition holds that individual control over money matters for the decision process within the household and the subsequent distribution of re- sources and welfare. As a consequence, there are good reasons ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2002-02)This paper uses a discrete choice approach to investigate factors influencing starting and quitting smoking, in particular the role of tobacco taxes. Standard probit analysis is applied to both starting and quitting. Tobacco ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2002-02)This paper uses duration analysis to investigate factors influencing starting and quitting smoking, in particular the role of tobacco taxes. Applying a variety of parametric duration models, including a split population ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2006)This paper proposes a comparison of the results of tax policy analysis obtained on the basis of unitary and collective representations of the household. We first generate labour supplies consistent with the collective ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1999-11)Child benefit is a universal payment to all households with children in Ireland. Unlike other transfers however it is paid to the mother. This paper analyses expenditure patterns out of this transfer payment and compares ...
-
(University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2008-09-12)We estimate a model of labor supply and participation in multiple programs for UK lone mothers which exploits a reform of in-work transfers. Cash entitlements increased but eligibility to in-kind child nutrition programs ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2010-01)We apply an extension of the Rothbarth approach to estimate the share of household resources accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children) in Ireland. The method also allows us to identify the economies of scale in ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-08)This note examines the sensitivity of tests for homogeneity in demand systems to such factors as omitted variables and dynamic and stochastic specification. It estimates demand systems for Ireland using time-series data ...
-
(University College Dublin; School of Economics, 2007-06)The treatment of owner-occupied housing costs is a recurring problem in the construction of consumer price indices, and there are competing methodologies. In the most widely-used Irish index, the Payments Approach, which ...
-
(Irish Economic Association, 2009-01-13)In this paper, we suggest a collective model with parents and (young) children. We identify and estimate scale economies in households and the sharing rule between husband, wife and children. While adult shares and economies ...
-
(University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2010-09-17)This paper examines how attitudes to risk relate to other psychological constructs of personality and consideration of future consequences (a proxy for time preferences) and how risk attitudes relate to credit behaviour ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2006-04)There is a well-established debate between Heckman sample selection and two-part models in health econometrics, particularly when no obvious exclusion restrictions are available. Most of this debate has focussed on the ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2002-02)This paper analyses decisions regarding smoking and drinking for a sample of Irish women. Double-hurdle models are estimated to determine whether decisions to smoke/drink are made independently of how much to smoke/drink. ...
-
(Economic and Social Research Institute, 2003)This paper uses duration analysis to investigate the role of tobacco taxes in starting and quitting smoking. Applying a variety of parametric duration models, including a split population model, to a sample of Irish women, ...
-
(Elsevier Science, 1999-04)This paper estimates the demand for lottery tickets using pooled cross section data that contain individual incomes and extensive information about characteristics. One of the cross sections corresponded to a draw which ...
-
(University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2007-06-08)Governments, over much of the developed world, make significant financial transfers to parents with dependent children. For example, in the US the recently introduced Child Tax Credit (CTC), which goes to almost all ...
