This paper analyzes the effects of starting the sick leave on part-time compared to fulltime on the probability to recover (i.e., return to work with full recovery of lost work capacity). Using a discrete choice one-factor model, we estimate mean treatment parameters and distributional treatment parameters from a common set of structural parameters. Our results indicate that part-time sick leav...

Any continuous, transitive, piecewise monotonic map is determined up to a binary choice by its dimension module with the associated finite sequence of generators. The dimension module by itself determines the topological entropy of any transitive piecewise monotonic map, and determines any transitive unimodal map up to conjugacy. For a transitive piecewise monotonic map which is not essentially...

This article presents empirical evidence on the determinants of the space heating technology applied by a household. Considering the increasing attention on efficient use of energy, it becomes vitally important to understand the energy-related behavior of households. Three sets of variables are examined as potential influences building , socio-economic, and regional characteristics. To highligh...

In this paper, we present an alternative root-n consistent estimator for panel data fixed-effects binary choice models. The proposed estimator relaxes one of the key conditions that are required for the consistency of the estimator proposed in Honoré and Lewbel (2002), and is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed under some sufficient conditions. An easy to compute cons...

I study price competition in settings where end products are combinations of components supplied by different monopolists, nesting standard models of perfect complements and imperfect substitutes. I show sufficient conditions for a discrete-choice demand system to yield demand for each product which is logconcave in price, and has log-increasing differences in own and another product’s price, l...

This paper describes the relationship between two different binary choice social interaction models. The Brock and Durlauf (2001) model is essentially a static Nash equilibrium model with random utility preferences. In the Blume (forthcoming) model is a population game model similar to Blume (1993), Kandori, Mailath, and Rob (1993) and Young (1993). We show that the equilibria of the Brock-Durl...
