- W1576562401 abstract "This thesis employs microeconometric methods to understand determinants and eectsof individual behavior relating to educational choice and consumer demand.Chapter 2 studies the intergenerational eects of maternal education on a range ofchildren's outcomes, including cognitive achievement and behavioral problems. Endogeneityof maternal schooling is addressed by instrumenting with schooling costs duringthe mother's adolescence. The results show substantial intergenerational returns to education.The chapter studies an array of potential channels which may transmit theeect to the child, including family environment and parental investments.The following chapter 3 investigates the eect of studying abroad on internationallabor market mobility later in life for university graduates. As source of identifyingvariation, this work exploits the introduction and expansion of the EuropeanERASMUS student exchange program. Studying abroad signicantly increases theprobability of working abroad, and the chapter provides evidence on the underlyingmechanisms.Chapter 4 compares labor market outcomes between rm-based apprenticeshipsand full-time vocational schooling alternatives, exploiting the idea that variation inapprenticeship availability aects the opportunities individuals have when they growup. The chapter documents how variation in vacancies for apprenticeships aectseducational choice. The results show that apprenticeship training leads to lower unemploymentrates at ages 23 to 26, but there are no signicant dierences in wages.Chapter 5 develops a new approach to the measurement of price responsivenessof gasoline demand and deadweight loss estimation. It uses shape restrictions derivedfrom economic theory to match a desire for exibility with the need for structure in thewelfare analysis of consumer behavior. Using travel survey data, the chapter shows thatthese restrictions remove the erratic behavior of standard nonparametric approaches.Investigating price responsiveness across the income distribution, the middle incomegroup is found to be the most responsive." @default.
