Powerful t-Tests in the presence of nonclassical measurement error

Kim, Dongwoo; Wilhelm, Daniel - 2023

This paper proposes a powerful alternative to the t-test of the null hypothesis that a coefficient in linear regression is equal to zero when a regressor is mismeasured. We assume there are two contaminated measurements of the regressor of interest. We allow the two measurement errors to be...

Tenure, experience, human capital and wages : a tractable equilibrium search model of wage dynamics

Bagger, Jesper; Fontaine, François; Postel-Vinay, Fabien; … - 2014 - rev.

We develop and estimate an equilibrium job search model of worker careers, allowing for human capital accumulation, employer heterogeneity and individual-level shocks. Career wage growth is decomposed into the contributions of human capital and job search, within and between jobs. Human capital...
