"Estimation of Children's Skill Formation when Children's. Skills are Unobserved" abstract We develop a new estimator for the process of skill formation where individuals' skills are unobserved (latent) and measured in data with error. Our model of skill formation has a dynamic factor structure where the latent skills of individuals evolve endogenously over the life-cycle…

Flexible behavioral capture-recapture modelling We develop some new strategies for building and fitting new flexible classes of para- metric capture-recapture models for closed populations which can be used to address a better understanding of behavioural patterns. We first rely on previous approaches based on a conditional probability parameterization and review how to regard a large…

"Identifying Sorting in Practice" Abstract We propose a novel methodology to detect assortative matching in the labor market using information on workers' mobility, firms' profits, and wages. We estimate the strength of sorting from a ranking of firms alone, built from firm-level profits. We identify the strength of sorting from the fraction of the variance in firm types explained…

Deep factorisation of stable processes The Lamperti-Kiu transformation for real-valued self-similar Markov processes (rssMp) states that, associated to each rssMp via a space-time transformation, is a Markov additive process (MAP). In the case that the rssMp is taken to be an α-stable process with α∈(0,2), the characteristics of the matrix exponent of the semi-group of…

Agents receive private endowment shocks and trade continuously. Agents dier in their need for trade as well assize, i.e. the ability to stay away from their ideal positions. In…
