Sample selection models for count data in R

We provide a detailed hands-on tutorial for the R package SemiParSampleSel (version 1.5). The package implements selection models for count responses fitted by penalized maximum likelihood estimation. The approach can deal with non-random sample selection, flexible covariate effects, heterogeneous selection mechanisms and varying distributional parameters. We provide an overview of the theoretical ...

Trade-Off Between Consumption Growth and Inequality: Theory and Evidence for Germany

This paper examines the structure and evolution of consumption inequality. Once heterogeneous agents relate their neighbors' consumption to their own, consumption volatility and inequality are affected. The model predicts a positive relationship between the group specific average consumption growth and within-group inequality, which is empirically confirmed using survey data from the German Socio-Economic ...

Consumption Growth and Inequality in a Heterogeneous Agent Model: Theory and Evidence from German Data

This paper studies the structure and dynamics of consumption and consumption growth inequality. The theoretical framework is a heterogeneous agent model with stochastic labor endowments, where the group mean consumption serves as consumption externality. The main finding is that households' preferences affect the within-group inequality through asset holding decisions: it decreases with groups' ...

Berufliche Übergangssequenzen in den Ruhestand

Erwerbsverläufe beim Übergang in den Ruhestand

In diesem Beitrag werden Erwerbsverläufe beim Übergang in den Ruhestand betrachtet. Mittels einer Sequenzmusteranalyse werden über einen Zeitraum von zehn Jahren die Erwerbsverläufe von 55-65-Jährigen quantifiziert und im Ost-West- wie auch im Geschlechtervergleich unterschiedliche Rentenübergangsmuster aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen ein hohes Ausmaß an Frühverrentungen und unterbrochenen Erwerbsverläufen. ...

East–West migration and gender: Is there a differential effect for migrant women?

This paper examines whether female East–West migrants in Germany face a differential effect on their labor market outcomes after they move compared to both males and stayers. It builds on a “difference-in-difference-in-difference” approach, employs a matching procedure to define the corresponding before and after periods for movers and stayers and uses panel data techniques to difference away time-invariant ...
