Measuring overeducation with earnings frontiers and multiply imputed censored income data
Jensen, Uwe; Gartner, Hermann; Rässler, Susanne - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2006
"In this paper, we remove one serious drawback of the IAB employment sample impeding its applicability to the estimation of earnings frontiers: the censoring of the income data, by multiple imputation. Then, we estimate individual potential income with stochastic earnings frontiers, and we...

Do literacy and numeracy pay off? : on the relationship between basic skills and earnings
Antoni, Manfred; Heineck, Guido - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2012
"Is there a reward for basic skills in the German labor market? To answer this question, we examine the relationship between literacy, numeracy and monthly gross earnings of full-time employed workers. We use data from the ALWA survey, augmented by test scores on basic cognitive skills as well...

A new targeting - a new take-up? : non-take-up of social assistance in Germany after social policy reforms
Bruckmeier, Kerstin; Wiemers, Jürgen - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2011
"We present first estimates of rates of non-take-up for social assistance in Germany after the implementation of major social policy reforms in 2005. The analysis is based on a microsimulation model, which includes a detailed description of the German social assistance programme. Our findings...

Analyzing the changing gender wage gap based on multiply imputed right censored wages
Gartner, Hermann; Rässler, Susanne - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2005
censored wages are multiply imputed by draws of a random variable from a truncated distribution. The multiple imputation is … wages at the upper limit of the social security system. We treat this problem as a missing data problem. We regard the … within the wage distribution." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) …

How valid can data fusion be?
Kiesl, Hans; Rässler, Susanne - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2006
"Data fusion techniques typically aim to achieve a complete data file from different sources which do not contain the same units. Traditionally, this is done on the basis of variables common to all files. It is well known that those approaches establish conditional independence of the specific...

Editing and multiply imputing German establishment panel data to estimate stochastic production frontier models
Kölling, Arnd; Rässler, Susanne - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2004
"This paper illustrates the effects of item-nonresponse in surveys on the results of multivariate statistical analysis when estimation of productivity is the task. To multiply impute the missing data a data augmentation algorithm based on a normal/Wishart model is applied. Data of the German IAB...

Multiple imputation of right-censored wages in the German IAB Employment Sample considering heteroscedasticity
Büttner, Thomas; Rässler, Susanne - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2008
to impute the censored wages by draws of a random variable from a truncated distribution based on Markov chain Monte …"In many large data sets of economic interest, some variables, as wages, are top-coded or right-censored. In order to … analyze wages with the German IAB employment sample we first have to solve the problem of censored wages at the upper limit of …
