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 …/selection bias. We then estimate the primary equation by fixed effects including an appropriately constructed control function from … both steps might employ nonlinear fixed effects procedures it is necessary to bias adjust the estimates due to the …

Decomposing real wage changes in the United States

Fernández-Val, Iván; Vuuren, Aico van; Vella, Francis - 2018

quantiles of the wage distribution. We account for the selection bias from the annual hours of work decision by developing and …

The intergenerational transmission of gender role attitudes and its implications for female labor force participation

Farré, Lídia (contributor); Vella, Francis (contributor) - 2007

Using a sample of mother-child pairs from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the Young Adults of the NLSY79 we explore the relationship between a woman's attitudes towards the role of females in the labor market and the attitudes of her children. We also examine whether...

A parametric control function approach to estimating the returns to schooling in the absence of exclusion restrictions : an application to the NLSY

Farré, Lídia; Klein, Roger W.; Vella, Francis - 2010

An innovation which bypasses the need for instruments when estimating endogenous treatment effects is identification via conditional second moments. The most general of these approaches is Klein and Vella (2010) which models the conditional variances semiparametrically. While this is attractive,...

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 … the United States using CPS data for the years 1975 to 2020. We account for the selection bias from the employment …

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 units. The objects of interest are functionals of these coefficients including linear projections on unit level covariates. We also consider predicted actual and stationary...

Persistent occupational hierarchies among immigrant worker groups in the United States labor market

Postepska, Agnieszka; Vella, Francis - 2017

This paper examines the phenomenon of occupational hierarchies among immigrant labor groups in the United States. Using census data for 1940-2011 we document the persistent ranking of immigrant labor groups in major metropolitan areas reflected by their position in the empirical distribution of...

Hours worked and the U.S. distribution of real annual earnings 1976-2016

Fernández-Val, Iván; Peracchi, Franco; Vuuren, Aico van; … - 2020

We examine the impact of annual hours worked on annual earnings by decomposing changes in the real annual earnings distribution into composition, structural and hours effects. We do so via a nonseparable simultaneous model of hours, wages and earnings. We provide identification results and...

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...
