This book aims to bring together studies using different data types (panel data, crosssectional data and time series data) and different methods (for example, panel regression, nonlinear time series, chaos approach, deep learning, machine learning techniques among others) and to create a source for those interested in these topics and methods by addressing some selected applied econometrics topics which have been developed in recent years. It creates a common meeting ground for scientists who give econometrics education in Turkey to study, and contribute to the delivery of the authors’ knowledge to the people who take interest. This book can also be useful for «Applied Economics and Econometrics» courses in postgraduate education as a material source.
This book explores Latin American inequality broadly in terms of its impact on the region’s development and specifically with two country studies from Peru on earnings inequality and child labor as a consequence of inequality for child labor. The first chapter provides substantial recent undated analysis of the critical thesis of deindustrialization for Latin America. The second chapter provides an approach to measuring labor market discrimination that departs from the current treatment of unobservable influences in the literature. The third chapter examines a much-neglected topic of child labor using a panel data set specifically on children. The book is appropriate for courses on economic development and labor economics and for anyone interested in inequality, development and applied econometrics.
