TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the empirical relation between CO2 emissions per capita and GDP per capita during the period 1960-1996, using a panel of 100 countries and found evidence of structural stability of the relationship.

TL;DR: This paper adapted the estimation method proposed by Gallant and Nychka to binary-choice models and compared it with the probit estimator and discussed optimization algorithms, choice of starting values, and strategies for choosing the number of parameters used in approximating the density.

TL;DR: This paper developed a method for estimation of price reactions using unit value data which exploits the implicit links between quantity and unit value choices, and combined appealing Engel curve specifications with a model of unit value determination in a way which is consistent with demand theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate different techniques to assess the gender pay gap in five EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom), focusing on self-selection into market work, and show that selectivity correction has an impact on both wage estimates and wage gap decomposition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a methodology to calibrate a collective model with household-specific bargaining rules and marriage-specific preferences that incorporate leisure externalities, based on the assumption that some aspects of individual preferences remain the same after marriage, so that estimation on single individuals can be used.
