The Revenues and Expenditures of African Governments: Modalities and Consequences (1996)
Gersovitz, Mark, Paxson, Christina H.
Like governments elsewhere, African governments raise revenues, employ workers and make expenditures. They do so in ways that reflect and affect the structure of their economies. Important...
Three essays in economics : borrowing constraints and hours constraints / (1987)
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Columbia University, 1987.
Using Weather Variability to Estimate the Response of Savings to Transitory Income in Thailand.
This paper measures the extent to which farmers are able to use savings and dissavings to smooth consumption in response to unexpected shocks to income. Time-series information on regional rainfall...
Do the poor insure? A synthesis of the literature on risk and consumption in developing countries
Alderman, Harold, Paxson, Christina H
How well do rural households in developing countries mitigate the income risk of the rural sector? There are several sensible reasons why households cannot fully insure consumption against income...
Consumption and Income Seasonality in Thailand.
Many households in developing countries rely on seasonal agriculture for their incomes. This paper investigates whet her household consumption expenditure tracks income across seasons. Wit h data...
Inter-industry Labor Mobility in Taiwan, China
Pack, Howard, Paxson, Christina H.
Working paper (.tx, .pdf) originally published in 1999 that examines labor market flexibility in Taiwan and determines that workers normally move from one similar industry to another in search of...
Labor Supply Preferences, Hours Constraints, and Hours-Wage Tradeoffs
Joseph G. Altonji, Christina H. Paxson
In a labor market in which firms offer tied hours-wage packages and there is substantial dispersion in the wage offers associated with a particular type of job, the best job available to a worker at...
Job Characteristics and Hours of Work
Joseph G. Altonji, Christina H. Paxson
This paper provides evidence that hours of work are heavily influenced by the particular job which a person holds. The empirical work consists of a comparison of the variance in the change in work...
Approximation bias in linearized Euler equations
Sydney Ludvigson, Christina H. Paxson
This paper concerns pitfalls associated with the use of approximations to dynamic Euler equations. Two applications of the approximations are notable. First, tests for precautionary saving motives...
Approximation Bias In Linearized Euler Equations
Sydney Ludvigson, Christina H. Paxson
A wide range of empirical applications rely on linear approximations to dynamic Euler equations. Among the most notable of these is the large and growing literature on precautionary saving that...

Patterns of Aging in Thailand and Cote D'Ivoire
Angus Deaton, Christina H. Paxson
This paper is broadly concerned with the living standards of older people in two contrasting developing countries, Cote d'Ivoire and Thailand. We use a series of household surveys from these two...
Labor Supply, Hours Constraints and Job Mobility
Joseph G. Altonji, Christina H. Paxson
If hours can be freely varied within jobs, the effect on hours of changes in preferences for those who do change jobs should be similar to the effect on hours for those who do not change jobs....
Saving, Growth, and Aging in Taiwan
Angus Deaton, Christina H. Paxson
This paper examines issues of household saving, growth. and aging in Taiwan. The Taiwanese patterns of high income growth, declines in fertility, and increases in life expectancy all have...
The Dynamics of Dual-Job Holding and Job Mobility
Christina H. Paxson, Nachum Sicherman
This article concerns the incidence and dynamics of dual-job holding, and its link to job mobility. The first section presents evidence on patterns of dual-job holding, hours changes, and job...
Approximation Bias in Linearized Euler Equations
Sydney Ludvigson, Christina H. Paxson
A wide range of empirical applications rely on linear approximations to dynamic Euler equations. Among the most notable of these is the large and growing literature on precautionary saving that...
The Dynamics of Dual Job Holding and Job Mobility.
Paxson, Christina H, Sicherman, Nachum
This article concerns dual job holding and its link to job mobility. The authors present evidence from U.S. data on patterns of dual job holding, hours changes, and job mobility. They find that...
Labor Supply Preferences, Hours Constraints, and Hours-Wage Trade-Offs.
Altonji, Joseph G, Paxson, Christina H
In a labor market with tied hours-wage packages and wage dispersion for a partic ular type of job, constrained workers may be willing to sacrifice wag e gains for better hours when changing jobs....
