How the earnings growth of U.S. immigrants was underestimated
Duleep, Harriet Orcutt; Liu, Xingfei; Regets, Mark C. - 2021
immigrant men following the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act have low initial earnings and high earnings growth. Another … asserts that post-1965 immigrants have low initial earnings and low earnings growth. We describe the methodological issues … that create this divide and show that low earnings growth becomes high earnings growth when immigrants are followed from …

A structural analysis of the correlated random coefficient wage regression model with an application to the ols-iv puzzle
Belzil, Christian (contributor); Hansen, Jörgen (contributor) - 2005
We estimate a finite mixture dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the log wage regression function is set within a correlated random coefficient model and we use the structural estimates to perform counterfactual experiments. We show that the estimates of the dynamic...

The Effects of High School Athletic Participation on Education and Labor Market Outcomes
Barron, John; Ewing, Bradley T.; Waddell, Glen R. - 2004
We introduce a simple allocation-of-time model to explain the high school athletic participation choice and the implications of this choice for educational and labor market outcomes. Four different factors that could explain athletic participation are identified in the context of this model. A...

Do students expect compensation for wage risk?
Schweri, Jürg; Hartog, Joop; Wolter, Stefan C. - 2009
We use a unique data set about the wage distribution that Swiss students expect for themselves ex ante, deriving parametric and non-parametric measures to capture expected wage risk. These wage risk measures are unfettered by heterogeneity which handicapped the use of actual market wage...

The value of remote work : a correspondence experiment on tutors
Goulas, Sofoklis - 2025
This study explores the preference for remote work by sending thousands of randomized messages to tutors advertising on an online platform across Greece. The messages requested either in-person or online tutoring. Requests for online lessons were roughly 50 percent more likely to receive a...

A Structural Analysis of the Correlated Random Coefficient Wage Regression Model
Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2021
We estimate a finite mixture dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the log wage regression function is set in a random coefficient framework. The model allows for absolute and comparative advantages in the labor market and assumes that the population is composed of 8 unknown...
