The Use of Violence in an Offense in a Sample of Convicted Rapists Within a Population Heterogeneity/State Dependence Framework
… a rape offense within a population heterogeneity/state dependence framework. Population heterogeneity asserts that crime or violence is caused by an underlying propensity while state dependence argues that prior crime or violence can increase or decrease the likelihood of future crime. A mixed …

Temperature, strain rate and strain state dependence of evolution of mechanical behavior and structure of poly(ethylene-terephthalate) with finite strain deformation
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 1995.

Persistence in Residential Choice and Neighborhood Attachment
… data discrete choice model that disentangles state dependence in neighborhood choice from unobserved heterogeneity in preferences for neighborhood characteristics. I find that the differences in the two groups’ out-migration behavior are mostly explained by their differential state dependence. …

Three Essays on Regulation in Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Markets
… conclusion. </p> <p>The second essay studies the state dependence effect of payment adjustments on hospitals to see whether the effect exist and how it varies across hospitals of different characteristics, socio-economic factors and geo-locations. The program adjusts the payment as follows: First, …

Essays on impact of risk preference on health and occupational choice
… and gender heterogeneity in the health state dependence of marginal utility. Given heterogeneous risk and time preferences of individuals, this study investigates the impact of those preferences on sorting into occupations and industries using various measures of job risk. I construct …

Real-time Personalized Tolling with Long-term Objectives
… factors: preference heterogeneity, and state dependence—not switching between options causally yields positive utility. Their econometric quantifications have crucial implications on pricing, but are challenging due to endogeneity known as the initial condition problem. We begin by …

Essays in labour economics: School leaving, unemployment and retirement
… employed allows disentangling the true state dependence from the confounding role played by observed and unobserved heterogeneity. The evidence supports that unemployment experiences "scar" British workers by compromising their future employability. The findings also suggest a …

An Econometric Analysis of Disability and Labour Force Participation in Ireland The Impact of Unobserved Heterogeneity and Measurement Error
… • How significant are unobserved effects and state dependence? • Is there differential measurement error in self-reported disability? • What are the separate impacts of unobserved effects and measurement error in a labour force participation model? Previous research (Bound, 1991 and Lindeboom …

An investigation of momentum exchange parameterizations and atmospheric forcing for the Coastal Mixing and Optics Program
… aerodynamic method involves incorporating sea state dependence into the roughness length calculation. For the inertial dissipation method, a new parameterization for the dimensionless dissipation rate is proposed. The modifications lead to improved momentum flux estimates for both methods.

Four Essays on Decentralized Markets in Management and Policy
… The second chapter uses a choice model under state dependence to estimate how local governments' past advisor choices implicitly constrain their future choice sets. The results suggest state dependence could increase interest costs for local governments, particularly for those that have …

Linear-Rational Term Structure Models With Flexible Level-Dependent Volatility
… diffusion models which allows for the degree of state dependence of volatility to be estimated. This dissertation then finds that the estimated state dependent volatility structure is significantly different to that of typical models, where it is set it a priori. The effect the added degree of …

Three Essays on Food Stamp Program Participation and Poverty Dynamics
… the impact of the implementation of the statewide Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system on household participation behavior in the entire period of nationwide implementation. The major finding is that the switch from paper coupons to EBT cards induces participation among eligible …

An analysis of the determinants and scarring effects of economic inactivity and unemployment in the UK
… periods and investigate the presence of true state dependence or the ‘scarring effect.’ Utilizing the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) Waves 1-18 and the Understanding Society (US) survey Waves 1-5, we analyse both static and dynamic models of NEET. Our results from the static models …

Crises Learning Under Diagnosticity

Impacts of deindustrialisation on the labour market and beyond
… makes people less ‘employable’ – the theory of ‘state-dependence’. The paper on long-term unemployment radically challenges this interpretation. It points out that the literature on the relationship between long-term and short-term unemployment has generally failed to consider the appropriate …

Modeling driving decisions with latent plans
… plan. These latent plans are ignored in the state-of-the-art driving behavior models. Use of these myopic models in the traffic simulators often lead to unrealistic traffic flow characteristics and incorrect representation of congestion. A modeling methodology has been formulated to address …
