Managerial Attributes and Executive Compensation
Graham, John R.; Li, Si; Qiu, Jiaping - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2011
We study the role of firm- and manager-specific heterogeneities in executive compensation. We decompose the variation in executive compensation and find that time invariant firm and especially manager fixed effects explain a majority of the variation in executive pay. We then show that in many...

This article provides evidence of rent sharing from orthogonal directions by exploiting different dimensions in the same data. Taking advantage of a rich matched employer-employee dataset for France over the period 1984-2001, we consistently compare industry differences in rent-sharing...

Biases in Twin Estimates of the Return to Schooling: A Note on Recent Research
Neumark, David - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 1994
Ashenfelter and Krueger's (1993) within-twin, measurement-error- corrected estimate of the return to schooling is about 13-16 percent. If their estimate is unbiased, then their results imply considerable downward measurement error bias in uncorrected within-twin estimates of the return to...

Quantile Regression with Panel Data
Graham, Bryan S.; Hahn, Jinyong; Poirier, Alexandre; … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2015
We propose a generalization of the linear quantile regression model to accommodate possibilities afforded by panel data. Specifically, we extend the correlated random coefficients representation of linear quantile regression (e.g., Koenker, 2005; Section 2.6). We show that panel data allows the...
