A new algorithm for clustering life course trajectories is presented and tested with large register data. Life courses are represented as sequences on a monthly timescale for the working-life with an age span from 16–65. A meaningful clustering result for this kind of data provides interesting...

We analyze the sources of changes in the distribution of hourly wages in the United States using CPS data for the … annual hours of work and estimating a nonseparable model of wages which uses a control function to account for selection … distribution. We decompose changes in the distribution of wages into composition, structural and selection effects. Composition …
