SHOPPER: A Probabilistic Model of Consumer Choice with Substitutes and Complements (2017, background): “The thinking-ahead mechanism is an example of inferring agent’s preferences from their behavior in a dynamic model, a type of exercise with a long history in applied econometrics (e.g. Wolpin (1984); Hotz and Miller (1993)).”
Dynamic Female Labor Supply (2009, unknown): “8 The first to implement a dynamic stochastic model of female decision making was Wolpin (1984).”

Does Fertility Respond to Financial Incentives? (2008, unknown): “Second, several recent papers, following Wolpin (1984), have used dynamic programming techniques to model fertility choices.”
Accuracy of simulations for stochastic dynamic models (2005, background): “Among the many examples of simulation-based estimation, let us mention Wolpin (1984), Pakes (1986), Rust (1987), Bajari, Benkard and Levin (2004), Tan (2004), and Crawford and Shum (2005).”
Population Policies, Fertility, Women's Human Capital, and Child Quality (2007, unknown): “…timing of births have not been widely replicated, perhaps because the theory of demand for timing of births has not derived novel and testable implications which are distinct from those implied by the static lifetime model (Willis, 1973; Becker, 1981; Wolpin, 1984, 1997; Heckman and Walker, 1991).”

Dynamic Discrete Choice Structural Models: A Survey (2010, unknown): “47 In the context of discrete choice DP problems the papers by Miller (1984) and Wolpin (1984) are the earliest example we are ware of. the full parameter vector and furthermore the number of times the DP problem needs to be solved is multiplied by the number of types.”
The transition from higher education to employment in Europe: the analysis of the time to obtain the first job (2007, background): “In fact, duration models have played an important role in several areas of economics, including the analysis of strike lengths (Lancaster 1972; Kennan 1985; Schenell and Gramm 1987), timing and spacing of births (Newman and McCullough 1984; Wolpin 1984 ), and optimal replacement or renewal policies”
