    • Beyond LATE with a discrete instrument. Heterogeneity in the quantity-quality interaction of children 

      Brinch, Christian N.; Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew (Discussion papers;703, Working paper, 2012-09)
      The interpretation of instrumental variables (IV) estimates as local average treatment effects (LATE) of instrument-induced shifts in treatment raises concerns about their external validity and policy relevance. We examine ...

    • The effects of benefits on disability uptake 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Discussion Papers; No. 576, Working paper, 2009)
      I study the effects of the level of disability benefits on disability uptake. Estimation of such effects is difficult because individual levels of disability pension benefits are closely related to individual characteristics ...

    • Efficient simulated maximum likelihood estimation through explicitly parameter dependent importance sampling 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      There exists an overall negative assessment of the performance of the simulated maximum likelihood algorithm in the statistics literature, founded on both theoretical and empirical results. At the same time, there also ...

    • Et annet perspektiv på Lomborg-saken 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      Lomborg-saken handler om forholdet mellom vitenskap og offentlig meningsdannelse. Kritikere av Lomborg hevder at han har skrevet en bok som gir et systematisk feilaktig bilde av virkeligheten. Videre skal han, ved å ...

    • Is the relationship between schooling and disability pension receipt causal? 

      Galloway, Taryn Ann; Brinch, Christian N. (Discussion papers;748, Working paper, 2013-06)
      We examine the potential causal effect of years of schooling on the use of public disability pensions by studying the extension of compulsory schooling introduced in Norway in the 1960s. Simple regressions of disability ...

    • Labor supply on the eve of retirement. Disparate effects of immediate and postponed rewards to working 

      Brinch, Christian N.; Hernæs, Erik; Jia, Zhiyang (Discussion papers;698, Working paper, 2012-07)
      We study two recent changes in incentives to work facing 67-69 year old workers in Norway: an earnings test reform which increases current earnings from work, and a pension system maturation which removes pension accrual ...

    • Life expectancy and claiming behavior in a flexible pension system 

      Brinch, Christian N.; Fredriksen, Dennis; Vestad, Ola Lotherington (Discussion Papers;No. 859, Working paper, 2017-05-26)
      We study the relationship between early claiming of pensions and incentives in the highly flexible Norwegian public pension system, measuring incentives to claim based on an estimated model for expected longevity. Despite ...

    • Non-parametric identication of the mixed proportional hazards model with interval-censored durations 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Discussion Papers;600, Working paper, 2009)
      This note presents identication results for the mixed proportional hazards model when duration data are interval-censored. Earlier positive results on identication under intervalcensoring require both parametric specication ...

    • Non-parametric identification of the mixed hazards model with interval-censored durations 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Discussion Papers;No. 539, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: Econometric duration data are typically interval-censored, that is, not directly observed, but observed to fall within a known interval. Known non-parametric identification results for duration models with ...

    • Simulated maximum likelihood using tilted importance sampling 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Discussion Papers;No. 540, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: This paper develops the important distinction between tilted and simple importance sampling as methods for simulating likelihood functions for use in simulated maximum likelihood. It is shown that tilted ...

    • The effects of an upper secondary education reform on theattainment of immigrant youth 

      Brinch, Christian N.; Bratsberg, Bernt; Raaum, Oddbjørn (Discussion Papers;No. 528, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: The national Norwegian school reform of 1994, which gave statutory right to at least three years of upper secondary education, had a significant impact on educational attainment among immigrant youth. In particular, ...

    • Time aggregation and state dependence in welfare receipt 

      Bhuller, Manudeep; Brinch, Christian N.; Königs, Sebastian (Discussion papers;771, Working paper, 2014-03)
      Dynamic discrete-choice models have been an important tool in studies of state dependence in benefit receipt. An assumption of such models is that benefit receipt sequences follow a conditional Markov process. This property ...
