    • Markov chains generated by maximizing components of multidimensional extremal processes 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 12, Working paper, 1985)
      A multidimensional inhomogenous extremal process is defined and it is demonstrated that it belongs to the class of pure jump Markov processes. Let {Z.(t)} be the j-th component of the process. Let {J(t)} be a finite state ...
    • A modification of Heckman's two stage estimation procedure that is applicable when the budget set is convex 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 28, Working paper, 1987-12)
      The paper develops a simple estimation procedure for a labor supply model with non-linear convex budget set. The procedure is an extension of Heckman's two stage method. The asymptotic properties of the estimators are derived.
    • Multinomial choice and selectivity 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No 264, Working paper, 2000)
      In this paper we discuss two types of selection problems. The first problem is motivated by labor market analyses such as the estimation of sector-specific wage equations where the sector for which the wages are observed ...
    • Non-convex budget set, hours restriction and labour supply in Sweden 

      Anderson, Irene A. K.; Dagsvik, John K.; Strøm, Steinar; Wennemo, Tom (Discussion Paper;No. 33, Working paper, 1988-05)
      This paper presents the results of a labor supply study based on Swedish labor market data and data from filled-in tax returns. The model is designed to deal with non-convex budget sets (implied by the tax and social ...
    • Nonparametric identification of discrete choice models 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 222, Working paper, 1998)
      Abstracts: In this paper we give simple proofs of identification results in discrete choice models for the case where neither the derteministic part nor the distribution function of the random parts of the utility function ...
