Using French households income tax data, we do not find any […]

LeSAGE – libre There is a great deal of literature regarding the asymptotic properties ofvarious approaches to estimating simultaneous space-time panel models, butlittle attention has been paid to how the model estimates should be interpreted.The motivation for use of space-time panel models is that they canprovide us with information not available from cross-sectional spatial regressions.[8] show that cross-sectional simultaneous spatial autoregressivemodels can be viewed as […]

Mardi | 2010-11-09 B103 Sylvain CHABE-FERRET – libre In this paper, I examine whether the claim “the more control variables, the better” holdswhen matching in a dynamic context. I exhibit three situations where it is better todifference with respect to past outcomes rather than to control for them: DID-matchingis unbiased whereas matching on past outcomes is biased. I also study the special caseof evaluating a job training program, borrowing a credible selection rule from Heckman,LaLonde, and Smith (1999) and relying […]

Mardi | 2010-10-19 B103 Diana-Andrada FILIP – Cyrille PIATECKI – libre The development of the newtonian calculus has unexpectedly bea look-in in such away that the additive derivative approach ofNewtonand Leibnitz could have been replaced by a multiplicative one,more adapted to growth phenomenon. In this paper, we have triedto present how a non-newtonian calculus could be applied to repostulateand analyse the neoclassical exogenous growth model.
