Farré, Lídia; Klein, Roger; Vella, Francis - 2009

This paper investigates the degree of intergenerational transmission of education for individuals from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. Rather than identifying the causal effect of parental education via instrumental variables we exploit the feature of the transmission mechanism...

Attrition and health in ageing studies: Evidence from ELSA and HRS

Banks, James; Muriel, Alastair; Smith, James P. - 2010

In this paper we present results of an investigation into observable characteristics associated with attrition in ELSA and the HRS, with a particular focus on whether attrition is systematically related to health outcomes and socioeconomic status (SES). Investigating the links between health and...

A parametric control function approach to estimating the returns to schooling in the absence of exclusion restrictions: An application to the NLSY

Farré, Lídia; Klein, Roger; Vella, Francis - 2010

An innovation which bypasses the need for instruments when estimating endogenous treatment effects is identification via conditional second moments. The most general of these approaches is Klein and Vella (2010) which models the conditional variances semiparametrically. While this is attractive,...

Do workers sort more randomly across different job types when jobs are harder to find? To answer this question, we study the mobility of male workers among three-digit occupations in the matched files of the monthly Current Population Survey over the 1979-2004 period. We clean individual...
