The authors formulate a simultaneous-equation model to explain the wages, output, education, and quit propensities of a sample of production workers. Their principal finding is that individuals that choose more education than they would expect from their observed characteristics have lower than...

Sample selection models provide an important way of accounting for economic decisions that combine discrete and continuous choices and of correcting for nonrandom sampling. Nonparametric estimators for these models are developed in this paper. These can be used for estimating shapes and...
