Match Bias from Earnings Imputation in the Current Population Survey: The Case of Imperfect Matching
Bollinger, Christopher R.; Hirsch, Barry T. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005
This paper examines alternative forms of match bias arising from earnings imputation. Wage equation parameters are … imputation match criteria (e.g., union status) are severely biased. Related forms of match bias arise with respect to attributes … used as match criteria, but matched imperfectly. For example, an imperfect match on schooling creates bias that flattens …

Measuring overeducation with earnings frontiers and multiply imputed censored income data
Jensen, Uwe; Gartner, Hermann; Rässler, Susanne - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2006
estimation of earnings frontiers: the censoring of the income data, by multiple imputation. Then, we estimate individual … potential income with stochastic earnings frontiers, and we measure overeducation as the ratio between actual income and … potential income. It is shown that the measurement of overeducation by this income ratio is a valuable addition to the …

Quality Weighted Citations Versus Total Citations in the Sciences and Social Sciences, with an Application to Finance and Accounting
Chang, Chia-Lin; McAleer, Michael - Faculteit der Economische Wetenschappen, Erasmus … - 2015
__Abstract__ The premise underlying the use of citations data is that higher quality journals generally have a higher number of citations. The impact of citations can be distorted in a number of ways. Journals can, and do, inflate the number of citations through self citation practices, which...

An inflation expectations horserace
Guzman, Giselle C. - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
For decades, the academic literature has focused on three survey measures of expected inflation: the Livingston Survey, the Survey of Professional Forecasters, and the Michigan Survey. While these measures have been useful in developing models of forecasting inflation, the data are low frequency...

Measuring Research Intensity from Anonymized Data: Does Multiplicative Noise with Factor Structure Save Results Regarding Quotients?
Ronning, Gerd - In: Journal of Economics and Statistics (Jahrbuecher fuer … 228 (2008) 5+6, pp. 644-653
Economic researchers often consider quotients like R&D investment divided by sales which could be used to measure “research intensity” of firms if available. However, data on research in particular are highly confidential and would not be released in original form. Therefore scientific use...

Flexible Approximation of Subjective Expectations Using Probability Questions: An Application to the Investment Game
Bissonnette, Luc; Bellemare, Charles; Kröger, Sabine - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
We use spline interpolation to approximate the subjective cumulative distribution function of an economic agent over the future realization of a continuous (possibly censored) random variable. The method proposed exploits information collected using a small number of probability questions on...

BE/ME and E/P work better than ME/BE or P/E in regressions
Musumeci, Jim; Peterson, Mark - In: Journal of Corporate Finance 17 (2011) 5, pp. 1272-1288
Researchers often form ratios of variables to measure firm characteristics, but which ratios create the most powerful tests? For example, if we use ratios of book value of equity (BE) and market value of equity (ME), or earnings (E) and price (P), does it matter which variable appears in the...

Time-varying risk premia
Anderson, Robert M. - In: Journal of Mathematical Economics 47 (2011) 3, pp. 253-259
Time-varying risk premia (TVRP) is one of the four sources of stock return autocorrelation. TVRP arises in a securities market equilibrium when the equilibrium expected returns of the available investments vary over time; in particular, the presence of TVRP does not indicate pricing inefficiency....
