Can value-added measures of teacher performance be trusted?
Guarino, Cassandra; Reckase, Mark D.; Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. - 2012
potential for misclassifying teachers as high- or low-performing can be substantial. Misspecifying dynamic relationships can …

Measurement Error in Income and Schooling, and the Bias of Linear Estimators
Bingley, Paul; Martinello, Alessandro - 2014
The characteristics of measurement error determine the bias of linear estimators. We propose a method for validating economic survey data allowing for measurement error in the validation source, and we apply this method by validating Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data...

Optimal Estimation of Two-Way Effects under Limited Mobility
Cheng, Xu; Ho, Sheng Chao; Schorfheide, Frank - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025
We propose an empirical Bayes estimator for two-way effects in linked data sets based on a novel prior that leverages patterns of assortative matching observed in the data. To capture limited mobility we model the bipartite graph associated with the matched data in an asymptotic framework where...
