We focus on the widely adopted generalized errors-in-variables model … and find that the remaining bias is substantial (20% of the true elasticity from left-side measurement error at the most …

I argue that the empirical strategies for estimation of the intergenerational elasticity of lifetime earnings that are … currently employed in the literature might not eliminate bias arising from life-cycle effects. Specifically, I demonstrate that …

We test for such convexity using data on the universe of … mortality events and weather forecasts for a twelve-year period in the U.S. Results show that erroneously mild forecasts …
