"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…
Seminars in Statistics Luca Tardella (University of Rome “La Sapienza”)
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…

"Risky Matching"
Monday Lunch Seminars Ignacio Monzon (Collegio Carlo Alberto)
"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…
