The continuous generalized extreme value model with special reference to static models of labor supply
Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 31, Working paper, 1988-02)The paper extends the generalized extreme value random utility model (McFadden, 1981) to the case where the choice set is continuous. One particular area of application is treated, namely the static models of labor supply. ... -
Discouraged worker effects and barriers against employment for immigrant and non-immigrant women
Dagsvik, John K.; Kornstad, Tom; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;No. 845, Working paper, 2016-09-01)A phenomenon observed in many labor markets is that the supply of labor appears to depend on business cycles. In other words, workers who are searching for work become “discouraged” under unfavorable business cycle conditions ... -
Discrete and continuous choice, max-stable processes and independence from irrelevant attributes
Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 79, Working paper, 1993-01)The Generalized Extreme Value Model was developed by McFadden for the case with discrete choice sets. The present paper extends this model to cases with both discrete and continuous choice sets and choice sets that are ... -
Dynamic choice, multistate duration models and stochastic structure
Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 172, Working paper, 1996)An important problem in the analysis of intertemporal choice processes is how to justify the choice of mathematical structure of the transition probabilities. A related and delicate identification problem is to separate ... -
The dynamics of a behavioral two-sex demographic model
Johansen, Rune; Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 247, Working paper, 1999)Abstract: In this paper, we examine the dynamic properties of a particular demographic model. An essential part of the model is the marriage function which is derived from assumptions about the behavior of women and men ... -
Econometric analysis of labor supply in a life cycle context with uncertainty
Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 21, Working paper, 1987)The paper considers a recent econometric approach for analysing labor supply in a life cycle context. The model we present extends MaCurdy's (1982) model in that the wage rate is assumed to depend on previous labor market ... -
Estimating the returns to schooling : a likelihood approach based on normal mixtures
Dagsvik, John K.; Hægeland, Torbjørn; Raknerud, Arvid (Discussion Papers;No. 567, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: In this paper we develop likelihood based methods for statistical inference in a joint system of equations for the choice of length of schooling and earnings. The model for schooling choice is assumed to be ... -
Estimation of earnings- and schooling choice relations : a likelihood approach
Dagsvik, John K.; Hægeland, Torbjørn; Raknerud, Arvid (Discussion Papers;No. 486, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: In this paper we develop a full information maximum likelihood method for the estimation of a joint model for the choice of length of schooling and the corresponding earnings equation. The model for schooling ... -
A Framework for analyzing rank ordered panel data with application to automobile demand
Dagsvik, John K.; Liu, Gang (Discussion Papers;No. 480, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: In this paper we develop a framework for analyzing panel data with observations on rank ordered alternatives that allows for correlated random taste shifters across time and across alternatives. As a special ... -
Fuel choice and the demand for natural gas in Western European households
Bartlett, Sarita; Dagsvik, John K.; Olsen, Øystein; Strøm, Steinar (Discussion Paper;No. 23, Working paper, 1987)The paper presents an econometric model for analysing natural gas demand for space heating in the residential sector in Weste rn Europe. A discrete-continuous • dynamic choice model is specified. Households' decisions ... -
Household production, consumption and time allocation in Peru
Dagsvik, John K.; Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Paper;No. 58, Working paper, 1991-02)Based on the neo-classical theory of time allocation, consumption and production we estimate a particular econometric model for Lima and the rural areas of Peru. This model is well suited for carrying out policy simulations ... -
How large is the class of generalized extreme value random utility models?
Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 80, Working paper, 1993-01)The Generalized Extreme Value Model (GEV) was developed by McFadden (cf. McFadden, 1981) with the purpose of extending the Luce Model to account for interdependent utilities. While the Luce model satisfies the IIA property ... -
Inequality in distributions of hours of work and consumption in Peru
Aaberge, Rolf; Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 59, Working paper, 1991-02)Firstly, this paper examines the relative differences in observed hours of work, consumption (income) and welfare among individuals and households in Peru in 1985-1986. For this purpose a Gini-related measure of inequality ... -
Intertemporal discrete choice, random tastes and functional form
Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 77, Working paper, 1992-11)An important problem in the analysis of intertemporal choice processes is to separate the effect of unobserved temporal persistent variables from the influence on preferences from past choice behavior (state dependence). ... -
Is the distribution of income compatible with s stable distribution?
Dagsvik, John K.; Vatne, Bjørn Helge (Discussion Papers;No. 246, Working paper, 1999)Mandelbrot (1961) proposed to apply the class of Pareto-Levy distributions - which belong to the Stable distributions - as a framework for modelling income distributions. He also presented theoretic arguments in favor ... -
Labor force participation and the discouraged worker effect
Dagsvik, John K.; Kornstad, Tom; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;642, Working paper, 2010)This paper analyzes labor force participation with particular reference to the discouraged worker effect. Discouraged workers are those who do not search for work because they view their chances of finding a suitable job ... -
Labor market modeling recognizing latent job attributes and opportunity constraints : an empirical analysis of labor market behavior of Eritrean women
Arneberg, Marie W.; Dagsvik, John K.; Jia, Zhiyang (Discussion Papers;No. 331, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This paper analyzes labor market behavior of urban Eritrean women with particular reference to the impact of education, earnings and labor market opportunities. Unlike traditional models of labor supply, which ... -
Labor supply analysis with non-convex Budget sets without the Hausman approach
Dagsvik, John K.; Strøm, Steinar (Discussion Papers;No. 857, Working paper, 2017-03-14)When the budget set is non-convex the application of the Hausman approach to estimate labor supply functions will in general be cumbersome because labor supply no longer depends solely on marginal criteria (first order ... -
Labor supply as a choice among latent job opportunities : a practical empirical approach
Dagsvik, John K.; Jia, Zhiyang (Discussion Papers;No. 481, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: In this paper, we discuss aspects of a particular framework for modeling labor supply and the application of this approach in practical policy simulation experiments. This modeling framework differs from the ... -
Labor supply as a discrete choice among latent jobs
Dagsvik, John K.; Jia, Zhiyang (Discussion papers;709, Working paper, 2012-10)This paper discusses a modeling framework in which workers are assumed to choose their preferred job from latent worker-specific choice sets. This point of departure yields a framework that formalizes the widely used ad ...
