This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices, the distance measure and the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching - a fully efficient algorithm - and present a framework for statistical inference. The implementation uses data from the...

Frequently, a log-linear relationship between earnings and years of education is assumed based on the classical human capital earnings equation suggesting constant returns to schooling. This paper reconsiders this functional relationship employing an extended stylized human capital earnings...
