Selection bias and the decomposition of wage differentials
Yun, Myeong-Su - 2000
The major contribution of this paper is finding a new and general approach to decomposing log-wage differentials when selection effects are present. We divide the observed log-wage differentials between two groups into 1) differentials in predicted log-wages computed using observed individual...

Educational choice, initial wage and wage growth
Mazza, Jacopo; Ophem, Hans van - 2020
We investigate the major choice of college graduates where we make choice dependent on expected initial wages and expected wage growth per major. We build a model that allows us to estimate these factors semiparametrically and that corrects for selection bias. We estimate the model on the...

Worker flows and wage dynamics: estimating wage growth without composition effects
Carrasco, Raquel; García Peréz, José Ignacio; … - 2020
Wage dynamics is closely intertwined with job flows. However, composition effects associated to the different sizes and characteristics of workers entering/ exiting into/from employment that may blur the "true" underlying wage growth, are not typically accounted for. In this paper, we take these...
