Feng, Shuaizhang; Kim, Jun Hyung; Yang, Zhe - 2021
Despite extensive literature on peer effects, the role of peers on personality skill development remains poorly understood. We fill this gap by investigating the effects of having disadvantaged primary school peers, generated by random classroom assignment and parental migration for employment....

A Structural Analysis of the Correlated Random Coefficient Wage Regression Model with an Application to the Ols-Iv Puzzle
Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jorgen - 2021
We estimate a finite mixture dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the log wage regression function is set within a correlated random coefficient model and we use the structural estimates to perform counterfactual experiments. We show that the estimates of the dynamic...

Using unique Italian panel data, in which individual differences in behavior toward risk are measured from answers to a lottery question, we investigate if (and to what extent) risk aversion can explain differences in schooling attainments. We formulate the schooling decision process as a...
