“…In addition, individuals who hold a second job for financial reasons are likely to compare the available employment opportunities they have and choose the one with the highest potential in terms of earnings capacity, in accordance with the prediction of standard models of occupational choice (e.g. Freeman, 1971;Boskin, 1974;Berger, 1988;Montmarquette et al, 2002). In order to capture this decision, a new variable in the dataset has thus been created that compares the wages that the individual is likely to receive from his current occupation with the predicted earnings from the best alternative occupation.…”

“…For instance, Hensher [16], McFadden [17], and many other economists have applied this method to estimate the travel mode of urban commuters. Schmidt and Strauss [18] and Boskin [19] have used an unordered multinomial logit model to analyze occupational choice among multiple alternatives. Since our study is based on the national water value cognizance survey 2012, the data set can be defined as unordered and individual specific.…”

Heterogeneous Value of Water: Empirical Evidence in South Korea

et al. 2017

Anthropogenic pressures have exacerbated self-sustaining river services, and growing concerns over sustaining river system become global problematic issues that lead us to implement river restoration projects. Of those projects, governing diverse needs and desires from stakeholders for those who have various water values are key elements of identifying the success of the project. In fact, the Korean government has had concern over restoring the rivers which brings to construct 16 weirs in four major rivers and may fail to achieve main goal of the project, which is to ameliorate water quality. In this study, principle component analysis and multinomial logit model were executed to investigate major socioeconomic variables to influence water values in terms of sustainability in Korea. Evitable evidences have been found that age, income, education level, and city dwelling are the most effective variables to estimate water values. In addition, a monotonous water development project and a myopic view could cause major dejection across the nation and may lead to the failure of water governance. Unfortunately, the latter may be observed in Korea as one of the reasons for the recent amplification of major conflicts.

“…Variants of the static model have been employed by, inter alia, Boskin (1974), Schmidt and Strauss (1975), Ham (1982), Makepeace (1996) and Johnes (1999). In these examples, the emphasis has been on the development of a structural model in which wages explicitly play a key role.…”

Education and Labour Market Outcomes: Evidence from Brazil

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The effect of education on labour market outcomes is analysed using both survey and administrative data from The Brazilian PNAD and RAIS-MIGRA series, respectively. Occupational destination is examined using both multinomial logit analyses and structural dynamic discrete choice modelling. The latter approach is particularly useful as a means of evaluating policy impacts over time. We find that policy to expand educational provision leads initially to an increased take-up of education, and in the longer term leads to an increased propensity for workers to enter non-manual employment.
