How Important Is Selection into Full-Time and Part-Time Employment? A New Panel Data Sample Selection Model for Estimating Wage Profiles
The literature has shown that correcting for self-selection into work is important for the estimation of wage profiles. In this paper, we analyze to what extent intensive labor supply choices add valuable otherwise unobserved information to improve wage profile estimates. We develop a panel data sample selection model that allows for discrete choices in labor supply decisions and apply this to high-quality administrative data. Compared to labor s…
Different defaults affect different groups differently
Consumption and time use responses to unemployment: Implications for the lifecycle model
In this study, we analyse the effects of unemployment on consumption and time use. To do so, we employ a micro panel dataset for the Netherlands containing a large set of expenditure and time use categories. Our results show a small negative effect of unemployment on expenditures, and large positive effects on time spent on home production and leisure activities. We do not find evidence for complementarity between leisure and consumption or for s…
Student loans, spending, and parental transfers: Insights from a nudge in student loan policy in the Netherlands
This paper investigates the effect of student loans on students’ (financial) behavior. For causal identification, we exploit quasi-experimental evidence using a nudge in the take-up of student loans in higher education in the Netherlands. We estimate an instrumental variable (IV) model with a first-stage Difference-in-Differences design. We find that a decline in the default student loan reduced monthly student borrowing by 141 euros. A one-euro …
Employment Effects of Incentivized Gradual Retirement Plans
We investigate the effect of Incentivized Gradual Retirement plans (GRPs) on employment. GRPs encourage later retirement of older workers by offering a reduction in working hours with only a limited decrease in net earnings and pension accrual. A second policy aim is that municipalities use this freed up capacity to hire more young employees. We exploit variation in the availability of GRPs between Dutch municipalities to identify its employment …
Psychological barriers to take-up of healthcare and child support benefits in the Netherlands
We empirically test an integral model for healthcare and child support benefits take-up using a probability sample of the Dutch population ( N = 905). To examine how different psychological factors, in conjunction, explain take-up, we apply model averaging with Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC C ). For both types of benefits, people’s perceptions of eligibility best explain take-up. For healthcare benefits, take-up also relates to perceptions …
How to stimulate single mothers on welfare to find a job: Evidence from a policy experiment
We present the results from a policy experiment in which single mothers on welfare were stimulated to enter the labor market and increase their work experience. The aim of the policy was not per se for single mothers to leave welfare completely but to encourage them to find a job if only a part-time job. Two policy instruments were introduced: an earnings disregard and job creation. The experiment was performed at the municipality level in the Ne…
Pathways to Retirement and Mortality Risk in The Netherlands: Modalités d’entrée à la retraite et risques de mortalité aux Pays-Bas
The Association Between Individual Income and Remaining Life Expectancy at the Age of 65 in the Netherlands
This article quantifies the association between individual income and remaining life expectancy at the statutory retirement age (65) in the Netherlands. For this purpose, we estimate a mortality risk model using a large administrative data set that covers the 1996–2007 period. Besides age and marital status, the model includes as covariates individual and spouse’s income as well as a random individual specific effect. It thus allows for dynamic s…
