Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes : a microeconometric simulation analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 619, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. ... -
Aggregation and aggregation biases in production functions : a panel data analysis of translog models
(Discussion Papers;No. 317, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: An applied econometric study of aggregation, based on an unbalanced panel data set for manu-facturing plants is presented. Panel data are informative in examining aggregation of variables, parameters, and ... -
Econometric analysis of labor supply in a life cycle context with uncertainty
(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 ... -

Indirect inference methods for stochastic volatility models based on non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes
(Discussion Papers;601, Working paper, 2009)This paper aims to develop new methods for statistical inference in a class of stochastic volatility models for financial data based on non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes. Our approach uses indirect inference ... -
Measuring long-term inequality of opportunity

Non-parametric identication of the mixed proportional hazards model with interval-censored durations
(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 ... -
Technology, trade and inequality
(Discussion Papers;No. 364, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: In recent decades new technology has led to increasing demand for well-educated labour at the expense of labour with lower education levels. Moreover, increased imports from low-cost countries have squeezed ... -
