A structural analysis of the correlated random coefficient wage regression model
Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2002
We estimate a finite mixture dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the log wage regression function is set in a random coefficient framework. The model allows for absolute and comparative advantages in the labor market and assumes that the population is composed of 8 unknown...

An alternative estimator for industrial gender wage gaps : a normalized regression approach
Yun, Myeong-Su; Lin, Eric S. - 2015 - Forthcoming in: Pacific Economic Review
Using normalized regression equations, we propose an alternative estimator of industrial gender wage gaps which is identified in the sense that it is invariant to the choice of an unobserved non-discriminatory wage structure, and to the choice of the reference groups of any categorical...

Cost-sharing and use of health services in Italy : evidence from a fuzzy regression discontinuity design

The eturns to college persistence for marginal students : regression discontinuity evidenced from university dismissal policies
Ost, Ben; Pan, Weixiang; Webber, Douglas A. - 2016
We estimate the returns to college using administrative data on college enrollment matched to administrative data on weekly earnings. Utilizing the fact that colleges dismiss low-performing students based on exact GPA cutoffs, we use a regression discontinuity design to estimate the earnings...
