Persistence bias and the wage-schooling model

Andini, Corrado - 2013

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 …

Testing CAPM with a large number of assets

Pesaran, M. Hashem; Yamagata, Takashi - 2012

This paper is concerned with testing the time series implications of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) due to Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965), when the number of securities, N, is large relative to the time dimension, T, of the return series. In the case of cross-sectionally correlated...
