What Leads to Measurement Errors? Evidence from Reports of Program Participation in Three Surveys

Celhay, Pablo A.; Meyer, Bruce D.; Mittag, Nikolas - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Measurement errors are often a large source of bias in survey data. Lack of knowledge of the determinants of such … respondent's degree of cooperation with the survey overall. We provide evidence on how survey design choices affect reporting … errors. Our findings help survey users to gauge the reliability of their data and to devise estimation strategies that can …

Estimation of Multivariate Probit Models via Bivariate Probit

Mullahy, John - 2015

Models having multivariate probit and related structures arise often in applied health economics. When the outcome dimensions of such models are large, however, estimation can be challenging owing to numerical computation constraints and/or speed. This paper suggests the utility of estimating...

The Power of the Pill : Oral Contraceptives and Women's Career and Marriage Decisions

Goldin, Claudia; Katz, Lawrence F. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2000

The fraction of U.S. college graduate women entering professional programs increased substantially around 1970 and the age at first marriage among all U.S. college graduate women soared just after 1972. We explore the relationship between these two changes and how each was shaped by the...

Labor Market Fluidity and Human Capital Accumulation

Engbom, Niklas - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Using panel data from 23 OECD countries, I document that wages grow more over the life-cycle in countries where job-to-job mobility is more common. A life-cycle theory of job shopping and accumulation of skills on the job highlights that a more fluid labor market allows workers to faster...

The Mommy Track Divides : The Impact of Childbearing on Wages of Women of Differing Skill Levels

Wilde, Elizabeth Ty - 2010

This paper explores how the wage and career consequences of motherhood differ by skill and timing. Past work has often found smaller or even negligible effects from childbearing for high-skill women, but we find the opposite. Wage trajectories diverge sharply for high scoring women after, but...

Modeling Earnings Dynamics

Altonji, Joseph G. - 2009

In this paper we use indirect inference to estimate a joint model of earnings, employment, job changes, wage rates, and work hours over a career. Our model incorporates duration dependence in several variables, multiple sources of unobserved heterogeneity, job-specific error components in both...

Risk Taking and Gender in Hierarchies

Scotchmer, Suzanne - 2008

In a labor market hierarchy, promotions are affected by the noisiness of information about the candidates. I study the hypothesis that males are more risk taking than females, and its implications for rates of promotion and abilities of survivors. I define promotion hierarchies with and without...

Enriching a Theory of Wage and Promotion Dynamics Inside Firms

Gibbons, Robert - 2003

In previous work we showed that a model that integrates job assignment, human-capital acquisition, and learning can explain several empirical findings concerning wage and promotion dynamics inside firms. In this paper we extend that model in two ways. First, we incorporate schooling into the...

The Peter Principle : Promotions and Declining Productivity

Lazear, Edward P. - 2001

Many have observed that individuals perform worse after having received a promotion. The most famous statement of the idea is the Peter Principle, which states that people are promoted to their level of incompetence. There are a number of possible explanations. Two are explored. The most...
