this study examins effects of trade liberalization on the wage inequality across industries and between genders within these industries by utilizing the data of micro-level households’ income and expenditures surveys and trade statistics over 2001-2011. the analysis is carried based on the heckscher–ohlin’s theory in international trade and baker’s taste discrimination theory at firms. we use q...

Aimed at investigating the recovery of a specific mutant allele of the mating type locus (MAT) by switching a defective MAT allele, these experiments provide information bearing on several models proposed for MAT interconversion in bakers yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hybrids between heterothallic (ho) cells carrying a mutant MAT a allele, designated mata-2, and MAT alpha ho strains show a h...

This paper proposes a methodology to incorporate bivariate models in numerical computations of counterfactual distributions. The proposal is to extend the works of Machado and Mata (2005) and Melly (2005) using the grid method to generate pairs of random variables. This contribution allows incorporating the effect of intra-household decision making in counterfactual decompositions of changes in...

This paper explores the effects of the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake on the wages of people in the area of the earthquake over the 17 years after its occurrence and identified which part of the wage distribution has been most affected by this event by comparing the wage distributions of disaster victims and non-victims. To do this, we used three decomposition methods, developed by (i) Oaxaca (1...

This paper describes MATA (Modeling Aspects Using a Transformation Approach), a UML aspect-oriented modeling tool that uses graph transformations to specify and compose aspects. Graph transformations provide a unified approach for aspect modeling. The methods presented here can be applied to any modeling language with a well-defined metamodel. This paper, however, focuses on UML class diagrams,...

Several recent papers use the quantile regression decomposition method of Machado and Mata (2005) to analyze the gender gap across log wage distributions. In this paper, we prove that this procedure yields consistent and asymptotically normal estimates of the quantiles of the counterfactual distribution that it is designed to simulate. Since employment rates often differ substantially by gender...

the paper presents an analysis of both energy intensity and energy demand for the italianindustrial sector. the aim of the paper is twofold: making a decomposition of energy intensity at the aggregate level and modeling energy demand at the firm level. the decomposition of energy intensity shows different patterns for the different sub-sectors in the period of interest. in the micro approach, p...
