  • The Dynamics of Worker Reallocation within and across Industries

    Open AccessAMOS GOLAN, Julia Lane et al.ARTICLEEconomica2007Cited by: 1References: 11

    This paper uses an integrated employer–employee data‐set to answer two key questions: (i) What is the equilibrium amount of worker reallocation? (ii) How much does firm‐level job reallocation affect worker reallocation? About 26% of workers who had previously exhibited a substantial degree of attachment to their employer change jobs in a given year. About two‐thirds of this reallocation is roughly evenly split within and across broadly defined in…

  • Superior Forecasts of the U.S. Unemployment Rate Using a Nonparametric Method

    AMOS GOLAN, Jeffrey M PerloffARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2004

    We use a nonlinear, nonparametric method to forecast unemployment rates. This method is an extension of the nearest-neighbor method but uses a higher-dimensional simplex approach. We compare these forecasts with several linear and nonlinear parametric methods based on the work of Montgomery et al. (1998) and Carruth et al. (1998). Our main result is that, due to the nonlinearity in the data-generating process, the nonparametric method outperforms…

  • Estimating a Demand System with Nonnegativity Constraints

    AMOS GOLAN, Jeffrey M Perloff et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2001

    A new information-based approach for estimating systems of many equations with nonnegativity constraints is presented. This approach, called generalized maximum entropy (GME), is more practical and efficient than traditional maximum-likelihood methods. The GME method is used to estimate an almost ideal demand system for five types of meat using cross-sectional data from Mexico, where most households did not buy at least one type of meat during th…

  • Estimating Coke's and Pepsi's Price and Advertising Strategies

    AMOS GOLAN, Larry S Karp et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2000

    A semiparametric, information-based estimator is used to estimate strategies in prices and advertising for Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola. Separate strategies for each firm are estimated with and without restrictions from game theory. These information/entropy estimators are consistent and efficient. These estimates are used to test theories about the strategies of firms and to see how changes in incomes or factor prices affect these strategies
