Bias corrections for two-step fixed effects panel data estimators

Fernández-Val, Iván (contributor); … - 2007

This paper introduces bias-corrected estimators for nonlinear panel data models with both time invariant and time varying heterogeneity. These include limited dependent variable models with both unobserved individual effects and endogenous explanatory variables, and sample selection models with...

Immigrant networks and their implications for occupational choice and wages

Patel, Krishna (contributor); Vella, Francis (contributor) - 2007

This paper employs United States Census data to study the occupational allocation of immigrants. The data reveal that the occupational shares of various ethnic groups have grown drastically in regional labor markets over the period 1980 to 2000. We examine the extent to which this growth can be...

Dynamic heterogeneous distribution regression panel models, with an application to labor income processes

Fernández-Val, Iván; Gao, Wayne Yuan; Liao, Yuan; … - 2022

We consider estimation of a dynamic distribution regression panel data model with heterogeneous coefficients across … uniformly valid inference on function-valued objects. This avoids coefficient re-estimation and is shown to be consistent for a …

Does increasing parents' schooling raise the schooling of the next generation? : evidence based on conditional second moments

Farré, Lídia; Klein, Roger W.; Vella, Francis - 2009

This paper investigates the degree of intergenerational transmission of education for individuals from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. Rather than identifying the causal effect of parental education via instrumental variables we exploit the feature of the transmission mechanism...

Selection and the distribution of female hourly wages in the U.S.

Fernández-Val, Iván; Vuuren, Aico van; Vella, Francis; … - 2022

We analyze the role of selection bias in generating the changes in the observed distribution of female hourly wages in … decision by modeling the distribution of the number of working hours and estimating a nonseparable model of wages. We decompose … changes in the wage distribution into composition, structural and selection effects. Composition effects have increased wages …
