survey errors. Third, by using the unique nature of our data, we assess how the biases from measurement error and from … omitted ability and family background variables interact in the estimation of returns. On the methodological front, we propose … a semi-parametric estimation approach based on balancing scores and mixture models, in particular allowing for …
