endogeneity of schooling by postulating that both schooling and test scores are generated by a common unobserved latent ability … measured test scores are slightly larger for lower latent ability levels. We find that schooling increases the AFQT score on … by estimating the impact of schooling on measured test scores at various quantiles of the latent ability distribution …

We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of moments (SMM) estimation for dynamic … discrete choice models. We construct and estimate a simplified dynamic structural model of education that captures some basic … a synthetic dataset and assess the ability of ML and SMM to recover the model parameters on this sample. We investigate …
