We study state dependence in welfare receipt and investigate whether welfare transitions changed after a welfare reform. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we apply dynamic multinomial logit estimators and find that state dependence in welfare receipt is not a central feature of the German welfare system. We find that welfare transitions changed after the reform: transitions from ...

The paper aims to identify whether production characteristics, such as technical efficiency and returns to scale, affect takeovers. Applying a two-stage procedure on original panel data on French cheese manufacturers, the paper first estimates firm-specific productive efficiency and scale economies using Data Envelopment Analysis. The paper then uses the findings of the first stage to evaluate ...

We analyze the role of digital infrastructure in shaping global value chain (GVC) participation Indian manufacturing firms. To examine digitalization and GVC nexus, a rich, firm-level, unbalanced panel 4875 firms from past two decades is used to detail rising significance context then empirically relationship between GVCs. Employing logit model, we observe positive significant association on fi...

There is a strong competition from low-priced imported catfish fillets resulting in a declining market share for domestic farm-raised catfish fillets. To match the competition, catfish processors are embarking on pricing policy measures that are volume-oriented instead of profitor image-oriented. This could be an effective short-run pricing policy measure for optimal longrun sustainability and ...

Logit kernel is a discrete choice model that has both probit-like disturbances as well as an additive i.i.d. extreme value (or Gumbel) disturbance à la multinomial logit. The result is an intuitive, practical, and powerful model that combines the flexibility of probit with the tractability of logit. For this reason, logit kernel has been deemed the “model of the future” and is becoming extremel...

We present results of a household-level survey on behaviors regarding refuses in the home waste-waters network. Interpreting survey results in a panel-data logit results show that most socio-economic and public good-related respondent’s characteristics do not play a significant role in explaining choices to discard in the home waste-waters network.
