Wage decompositions using panel data sample selection correction
Oaxaca, Ronald L.; Choe, Chung - 2016
This paper analyzes wage decomposition methodology in the context of panel data sample selection embedded in a correlated random effects setting. Identification issues unique to panel data are examined for their implications for wage decompositions. As an empirical example, we apply our...

Fixed effects and variance components estimation in three-level meta-analysis
Konstantopoulos, Spyros - 2011
Meta-analytic methods have been widely applied to education, medicine, and the social sciences. Much of meta-analytic data are hierarchically structured since effect size estimates are nested within studies, and in turn studies can be nested within level-3 units such as laboratories or...

A hands-on machine learning primer for social scientists : math, algorithms and code
Askitas, Nikos - 2024
This paper addresses the steep learning curve in Machine Learning faced by noncomputer scientists, particularly social scientists, stemming from the absence of a primer on its fundamental principles. I adopt a pedagogical strategy inspired by the adage "once you understand OLS, you can work your...

A comment on variance decomposition and nesting effects in two- and three-level designs
Konstantopoulos, Spyros (contributor) - 2007
Multilevel models are widely used in education and social science research. However, the effects of omitting levels of the hierarchy on the variance decomposition and the clustering effects have not been well documented. This paper discusses how omitting one level in three-level models affects...

Wage differences according to workers' origin: the role of working more upstream in GVCs
Fays, Valentine; Mahy, Benoît; Rycx, François - 2021
This paper is the first to investigate the role of firm-level upstreamness (i.e. the number of steps before the production of a firm meets final demand) in explaining wage differences according to workers' origin. Using unique linked employer-employee data relative to the Belgian manufacturing...
