This paper provides an expression for the bias of the OLS estimator of the schooling coefficient in a simple static … coefficient is biased upward, and the bias is increasing with potential labor-market experience and the degree of earnings … persistence. In addition, NLSY data are used to show that the magnitude of the persistence bias is non-negligible, and the bias …

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 …

This study examines the interplay between job stability, wage rates, and marital instability. We use a Dynamic Selection Control model in which young men make sequential choices about work and family. Our empirical estimates derived from the model account for self-selection, simultaneity and...

Married white men have higher wages and faster wage growth than unmarried white men. Using the NLSY, we examine whether racial differences in intrahousehold specialization and formal training explain married men's faster wage growth, and individual-specific data on cognitive skills, family...
