This paper examines alternative forms of match bias arising from earnings imputation. Wage equation parameters are … imputation match criteria (e.g., union status) are severely biased. Related forms of match bias arise with respect to attributes … used as match criteria, but matched imperfectly. For example, an imperfect match on schooling creates bias that flattens …

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 …

survey. Even if nonresponse is random, severe bias attaches to wage equation coefficient estimates on attributes not matched … other household members. -- response bias ; imputation ; earnings nonresponse ; gender gap ; CPS …

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 documents that rotation group bias - the tendency for labor force statistics to vary systematically by month … groups; both should be nationally representative samples. The rise in rotation group bias is driven by a growing tendency for … bias. We find that rotation group bias increased discretely after the 1994 CPS redesign and that rising nonresponse is …

schooling and market ability is found to be positive and is consistent with the existence of a positive "Ability Bias". …
