Hello!

I am a PhD candidate in Labor Economics at the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA), Maastricht University.

My research interests lie in:

  • Labor Economics, Education Economics, Experimental Economics, and Social Data Science
  • Dissertation Topic: Skill supply and demand in the labor market

Publication

  • Fitting mixed logit random regret minimization models using maximum simulated likelihood
    with Álvaro A. Gutiérrez-Vargas, Martina Vandebroek
    the Stata Journal 24 (2) [Link]

    [Show/hide abstract] This article describes the mixrandregret command, which extends the randregret command introduced in Gutiérrez-Vargas et al. (2021, The Stata Journal 21: 626-658) incorporating random coefficients for Random Regret Minimization models. The newly developed command mixrandregret allows the inclusion of random coefficients in the regret function of the classical RRM model introduced in Chorus (2010, European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research 10: 181-196). The command allows the user to specify a combination of fixed and random coefficients. In addition, the user can specify normal and log-normal distributions for the random coefficients using the commands' options. The models are fitted using simulated maximum likelihood using numerical integration to approximate the choice probabilities.
