Applied Microeconomics
Applied Microeconomics
The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.
The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

CWIP (CAGE Work in Progress) Workshop - Subhasish Dey (Warwick)S2.79Title: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: EDUCATION-OCCUPATION MISMATCH FOR SECOND-GENERATION IMMIGRANTS IN THE UK Authors Subhasish Dey, University of Warwick Mahima Kapoor, University of Warwick Anirban Mukherjee, University of Calcutta
Abstract: This study assesses the quality of occupations that second-generation immigrants are employed in relative to natives in the UK. Based on the concept of education-occupation mismatch, we investigate whether the utilization of workers’ skills is commensurate with those required under the job. Using the multinomial logistic regression model to fit data from the Understanding Society: UK Household Longitudinal Study, we show that second-generation immigrants have a higher probability of being over-educated than natives and evaluate the mechanisms driving the results. We further explore the presence of double penalty along the overlap of legal and social identities. The findings direct attention towards the unique context of second-generation immigrants and inform policy efforts. |

Econometrics Seminar - Yuya Sasaki (Vanderbilt)S2.79Title: On the Inconsistency of Cluster-Robust Inference and How Subsampling Can Fix It Abstract: Conventional methods of cluster-robust inference are inconsistent in the presence of unignorably large clusters. We formalize this claim by establishing a necessary and sufficient condition for the consistency of the conventional methods. We find that this condition for the consistency is rejected for a majority of empirical research papers. In this light, we propose a novel score subsampling method that achieves uniform size control over a broad class of data generating processes, covering that fails the conventional method. Simulation studies support these claims. With real data used by an empirical paper, we showcase that the conventional methods conclude significance while our proposed method concludes insignificance. |
