In the presence of selection bias, traditional estimators of pseudo panel data are inconsistent. In this paper, the authors derive the conditions under which consistence is achieved in pseudo-panel estimation and propose a simple test of selection bias. Specifically, they propose a Wald test for the null hypothesis that there is no selection bias. Under rejection of the null hypothesis, the aut...

This paper analyzes whether pseudo-panels are suitable substitutes for true panels for estimating income mobility. We obtain evidence using Chilean panel data for the period 1996-2006 and constructing pseudo-panels treating each round of the panel as if it were an independent cross-section survey. We consider three different pseudo-panel methods: the mean-based approach that identifies cohorts ...

In the presence of selection bias the traditional estimators for pseudo panel data models are inconsistent. This paper discusses a method to achieve consistency in static linear pseudo panels in the presence of selection bias and a testing procedure for sample selection bias. The authors’ approach uses a bias correction term proportional to the inverse Mills ratio with argument equal to the “no...

Self-Employment: A Way to End Unemployment? Empirical Evidence from German Pseudo-Panel Data This paper contributes to the policy-relevant question whether self-employment is a way out of (long-term) unemployment. We estimate the relationship between the entry rate into selfemployment and previous (long-term) unemployment on the basis of pseudo-panel data for Germany in the period 1996-2002. Th...

A 57-year-old patient presents with a large mass at the right groin two months after cryoballoon-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) (Fig. 1, left panel). A pseudo-aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery is seen on CT with a small, encapsulated active bleeding region (asterisk) surrounded by a large haematoma (arrow, Fig. 1, right panel). The pseudo-aneurysm of our patient was clinically m...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of cycling demand for population Denmark. Using pseudo-panels based on large-scale cross-sectional data, analyse temporal stability preferences different age cohorts in combination with residential city sizes. Cycling is decomposed into two effects. Firstly, a ’selection’ effect that explains probability being cyclist, i.e. engaged activities. Secondly...
