The distributive Effects of Education: An Unconditional Quantile Regression Approach
Alejo, Javier; Gabrielli, María Florencia; Escudero, … - 2011
We use recent unconditional quantile regression methods (UQR) to study the distributive effects of education in Argentina. Standard methods usually focus on mean effects, or explore distributive effects by either making stringent modeling assumptions, and/or through counterfactual decompositions...

A decomposition method to evaluate the "paradox of progress" with evidence for Argentina
Alejo, Javier; Gasparini, Leonardo; Montes-Rojas, Gabriel; … - 2022
The 'paradox of progress' is an empirical regularity that associates more education with larger income inequality. Two driving and competing factors behind this phenomenon are the convexity of the 'Mincer equation' (that links wages and education) and the heterogeneity in its returns, as...

The Impact of the Universal Child Allowance on Argentina's Children Schooling Gap
Navarro, Ana Ines - 2011
This paper empirically explores the effect of the Universal Child Allowance recently launched in Argentina on children's schooling achievement. By implementing Crump, Hotz, Imbens and Mitnik (2006), we use propensity score as a precursor to regression estimation finding preliminary evidence that...

The distributive Effects of Education: An Unconditional Quantile Regression Approach
Alejo, Javier; Gabrielli, María Florencia; Escudero, … - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad Nacional … - 2011
En este trabajo utilizamos los más recientes métodos de regresión no condicionada por cuantiles (RNCQ) para estudiar los efectos distributivos de la educación en Argentina. Los métodos estándar se centran, por lo general, en efectos promedio o estudian los efectos distributivos ya sea...
