Without additional controls, entrepreneurs have higher average … income with all but undergraduate level of education. However, random effects and matching models suggest that entrepreneurs …

Assortative Matching, Reputation, and the Beatles Break-Up
Smith, Lones; Anderson, Axel - EconWPA - 2002
Consider Becker's (1973) classic static matching model, with output a stochastic function of unobserved types. Assume symmetric incomplete information about types, and thus commonly observed Bayesian posteriors. Matching is then assortative in these `reputations' if expected output is...

Fair pay and a Wagebill Argument for Wage Rigidity and Excessive Employment Variability

Dismissals and Match-Specific Rents
Black, Dan A.; Loewenstein, Mark A. - EconWPA - 1996
