Blundell, Richard; Stoker, Thomas M. - In: Handbook of econometrics : volume 6A, (pp. 4609-4666). 2007
This chapter covers recent solutions to aggregation problems in three application areas: consumer demand analysis …, consumption growth and wealth, and labor participation and wages. Each area involves treatment of heterogeneity and nonlinearity … at the individual level. Three types of heterogeneity are highlighted: heterogeneity in individual tastes, heterogeneity …

A Simple Solution to the Identification Problem in Detailed Wage Decompositions
Yun, Myeong-Su - 2003
Oaxaca and Ransom (1999) show that a detailed decomposition of the coefficients effect is destined to suffer from an identification problem since the detailed coefficients effect attributed to a dummy variable is not invariant to the choice of reference groups. It turns out that the...

Proxying ability by family background in returns to schooling estimations is generally a bad idea
Mellander, Erik; Sandgren-Massih, Sofia - 2008
A regression model is considered where earnings are explained by schooling and ability. It is assumed that schooling is measured with error and that there are no data on ability. Regressing earnings on observed schooling then yields an estimate of the return to schooling that is subject to...

Penalized adaptive method in forecasting with large information set and structure change
Li, Xinjue; Zbonakova, Lenka; Härdle, Wolfgang - 2017
In the present paper we propose a new method, the Penalized Adaptive Method (PAM), for a data driven detection of structure changes in sparse linear models. The method is able to allocate the longest homogeneous intervals over the data sample and simultaneously choose the most proper variables...
