ROBUST PRIORS IN NONLINEAR PANEL DATA MODELS (2009)

Manuel Arellano, Stephane Bonhomme, Jinyong Hahn, Laura Hospido, Guido Imbens, Thierry Magnac, ...

Many approaches to estimation of panel models are based on an average or integrated likelihood that assigns weights to di erent values of the individual e ects. Fixed e ects, random e ects, and...

Parametric Binary Choice Models (2008)

Michael Lechner, Stéfan Lollivier, Thierry Magnac

This paper discusses the estimation of binary choice panel data models. We begin with different versions of the static random effects model when the explanatory variables are strictly exogenous....

* U.S. Federal Trade Commission (2007)

Daniel S. Hosken, David N. Margolis, Nicole Fortin, Brownwyn Hall, George Jakubson, Thomas Lemieux, ...

remaining errors are ours. This paper develops a bargaining model of wage and employment determination for the public sector. The solution to the model generates structural wage and employment...

The Dynamics of Local Employment in France

Combes, Pierre-Philippe, Magnac, Thierry, Robin, Jean-Marc

We study the impact of local economic structure on employment dynamics. Local employment is decomposed into the product of the average plant size and the number of plants in the area and industry. We...

Emploi, mobilité et chômage en France : migrations saisonnières entre industrie et agriculture

Jean-Pierre Bompard, Thierry Magnac, Gilles Postel-Vinay

Seasonal migrations between industry and agriculture were widespread in France until late in the nineteenth century. The scattering of manufacturing firms across the country, regardless of the local...

We develop and estimate a model of dynamic interactions where commitment is limited and contracts are incomplete to explain the patterns of income and consumption growth in village economies of less...

The Effect of Location on Finding a Job in the Paris Region

Gobillon, Laurent, Magnac, Thierry, Selod, Harris

There are large spatial disparities in unemployment durations across the 1,300 municipalities in the Paris region (Ile-de-France). In order to characterize these imbalances, we estimate a...

The Effect of Location on Finding a Job in the Greater Paris Area

Laurent Gobillon, Thierry Magnac, Harris Selod

There are large spatial disparities in unemployment durations across the 1,300 municipalities in the Ile-de-France region (Paris Greater Area). In order to characterize these imbalances, we estimate...

Subsidised Training and Youth Employment: Distinguishing Unobserved Heterogeneity from State Dependence in Labour Market Histories.

Magnac, Thierry

Using the 1990-2 wave of the French Labour Force Survey to study the employment histories of young people I consider transitions between six labour market states: employment contracts whether...

Collective labour supply: heterogeneity and non-participation

Richard Blundell, André Chiappori, Thierry Magnac, Costas Meghir

In this paper we develop the collective labour supply framework to allow for corner solutions and nonparticipation in employment.We derive conditions for the complete non parametric identification of...

How Valuable Is On-Farm Work to Farmers?

Madior Fall, Thierry Magnac

In this article, we estimate a rural household model that allows specific tastes for working on-farm and can fit the data as well as the general model of Lopez. We use two samples that are matched by...

Risk, Uncertainty and Discrete Choice Models

André De Palma, Moshe Ben-Akiva, David Brownstone, Charles Holt, Thierry Magnac, Daniel McFadden, ...

This paper examines the cross-fertilizations of random utility models with the study of decision making under risk and uncertainty. We start with a description of the Expected Utility (EU) theory and...

Formal and Informal Risk Sharing in LDCs: Theory and Empirical Evidence

Dubois, Pierre, Jullien, Bruno, Magnac, Thierry

Panel Binary Variables and Sufficiency: Generalizing Conditional Logit

Thierry Magnac

This paper extends the conditional logit approach (Rasch, Andersen, Chamberlain) used in panel data models of binary variables with correlated fixed effects and strictly exogenous regressors. In a...

Savings and Labor-Market Transitions.

Blundell, Richard, Magnac, Thierry, Meghir, Costas

A model is developed that allows for a lay-off rate and a job arrival rate in the intertemporal choice of consumption and labor market state. The identification of such a model is established without...
