A Beta-logistic Model for the Analysis of Sequential Labor Force Participation by Married Women
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the cross-section logit model was proposed to deal with sequences of discrete events in panel data. But the model was applied to panel data on labor force participation of married women and the distribution of participation probabilities is U-shaped, indicating that most women have participation probabilities near zero or near one.

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss statistical problems that arise in studying sequences of quantal responses (e.g., labor force participation) in panel data on heterogeneous populations (i.e., populations in which there is unobserved variation in response probabilities). Assuming that response probabilities are governed by a beta distribution, we derive a generalization on of the cross-section logit model to enable it to deal with sequences of discrete events in panel data. This model is applied to panel data on labor force participation of married women. One of our findings is that the distribution of participation probabilities is U shaped, indicating that most women have participation probabilities near zero or near one.

Informal Care and Employment in England: Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
TL;DR: This article found evidence of a causal link from informal care to employment with employment rates reduced by up to 6 percentage points for co-residential carers who account for one third of the population of carers and less than 5 percent of the overall labor force.
The effect of the timing and spacing of births on the level of labor market involvement of married women
TL;DR: The authors analyzed the effect of the timing and spacing of births on the labor supply of married women in a framework that accounts for the endogeneity of the labor market and fertility decisions, for the heterogeneity of the effects of children on labor supply and their correlation with the fertility decisions.
Regression models for non‐stationary categorical time series
Ludwig Fahrmeir,Heinz Kaufmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a parsimonious and flexible class of models for the statistical analysis of categorical time series data is proposed, based on asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator and of test statistics for linear hypotheses.
Local trade networks and spatially persistent unemployment
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of local trade networks on the spatial distribution of employment in a model that allows for effective demand externalities as well as home bias was studied. And they showed that if labor can be hired in continuous quantities, then the long run spatial distribution is uniform, and independent of any trade network topology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of consisteently estimating 0 (as n --* X ), where the chance variables were assumed to be scalars, and the parameters 0 and ai may be vectors.
