Martins, Pedro S. - 2011

In this paper we show that panel estimates of tenure specific sensitivity to the business cycle of wages is subject to serious pitfalls. Three canonical variates used in the literature – the minimum unemployment rate during a worker's time at the firm (min u), the unemployment rate at the...

College Education and Wages in the U.K : Estimating Conditional Average Structural Functions in Nonadditive Models with Binary Endogenous Variables

Klein, Tobias J. - 2007

We propose and implement an estimator for identifiable features of correlated random coefficient models with binary endogenous variables and nonadditive errors in the outcome equation. It is suitable, e.g., for estimation of the average returns to college education when they are heterogeneous...
