The analysis of what human capital (HC) is has a long history and culminates in the acknowledgment that HC its growth are very important for both cognitive education (cognitive skills (CSs)) personal life (noncognitive (NCSs)) CSs NCSs have strong reciprocal relationship, as studies by Heckman demonstrated. present contribution (following Heckman’s approach) analyzed relationship between sample...

Materials and methods A Binary Probit model ws used to measure the participation in work force and a two-stage Heckman model to measure worked h and productivity. Each model is estimated separately for both gender individuals, with and without disease, according three distinct definitions for DM: Restrict, Broad and Comorbidities. To capture the counterfactual effect, the model was calculated f...

Heckman is also a Senior Fellow at the American Bar Foundation. Vytlacil is a Sloan Fellow at the Department of Economics, University of Chicago. The essential identi cation results in this paper are presented in Heckman (1982, 1995) which have been widely circulated. This research is supported by NSF-SBR-97-09-873 and the American Bar Foundation. We thank Richard Blundell and Chris Taber for c...

Four heuristic algorithms are developed for solving the generalized version of tardiness flow shop problems. We consider the generalized tardiness flow shop model with minimization of the total tardiness as its performance measure. We modify the concept of cost over time (COVERT) for the generalized version of the flow shop tardiness model and employ this concept for developing four algorithms....

Correspondence studies can identify the extent of discrimination in hiring as typically defined by the law, which includes discrimination against ethnic minorities and females. However, as Heckman and Siegelman (1993) show, if employers act upon a group difference in the variance of unobserved variables, this measure of discrimination may not be very informative. This issue has essentially been...

We study convolution algebras associated with Heckman–Opdam polynomials. For root systems of type BC we derive three continuous classes of positive convolution algebras (hypergroups) by interpolating the double coset convolution structures of compact Grassmannians U/K with fixed rank over the real, complex or quaternionic numbers. These convolution algebras are linked to explicit positive produ...
