Job changes and individual-job specific wage dynamics
Hospido Quintana, Laura - 2009
This paper develops an error components model that is used to examine the impact of job changes on the dynamics and variance of individual log earnings. I use data on work histories drawn from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), that makes possible to do the distinction between voluntary...

Seasonal Adjustment of an Aggregate Series using Univariate and Multivariate Basic Structural Models
Birrell, C.; Steel, D. G.; Lin, Y. X. - 2010
Time series resulting from aggregation of several sub-series can be seasonally adjusted directly or indirectly. With model-based seasonal adjustment, the sub-series may also be considered as a multivariate system of series and the analysis may be done jointly. This approach has considerable...

Forecasting Field Defect Rates Using a Combined Time-based and Metrics-based Approach: a Case Study of OpenBSD
Luo Li, Paul; Herbsleb, James; Shaw, Mary - 2005
Open source software systems are critical infrastructure for many applications; however, little has been precisely measured about their quality. Forecasting the field defect-occurrence rate over the entire lifespan of a release before deployment for open source software systems may enable...

Designing Incentives for Inexpert Human Raters
Chen, Daniel L.; Horton, John J.; Shaw, Aaron D. - 2011
The emergence of online labor markets makes it far easier to use individual human raters to evaluate materials for data collection and analysis in the social sciences. In this paper, we report the results of an experiment - conducted in an online labor market - that measured the effectiveness of...

Ability Estimation Under Different Item Parameterization and Scoring Models
Si, Ching-Fung B. - 2002
A Monte Carlo simulation study investigated the effect of scoring format, item parameterization, threshold configuration, and prior ability distribution on the accuracy of ability estimation given various IRT models. Item response data on 30 items from 1,000 examinees was simulated using known...

Examining the Cross-National Applicability of Multi-Item, Multidimensional Measures using Generalizability Theory
Durvasula, Srinivas; Netemeyer, Richard G.; Andrews, J. … - 2006
cross-nationally. Typically, researchers have relied upon the tenets of classical measurement theory (CT) using confirmatory …-national applicability? Our research seeks to address these issues and the cross-national measurement applicability of multi …-dimensional scales via generalizability theory (GT). In this paper, we use a cross-national data set and simulated data sets to …

Measuring Unemployment Insurance Generosity
Pallage, Stephane; Scruggs, Lyle; Zimmermann, Christian - 2008
In this paper, we develop a methodology to summarize the various policy parameters of an unemployment insurance scheme into a single generosity parameter. Unemployment insurance policies are multdimensional objects. They are typically defined by waiting periods, eligibility duration, benefit...

Reliability generalization: lapsus linguae
Smith, Julie Marilyn - 2011
This study examines the proposed Reliability Generalization (RG) method for studying reliability. RG employs the application of meta-analytic techniques similar to those used in validity generalization studies to examine reliability coefficients. This study explains why RG does not provide a...

Inflation targeting and monetary integration in European emerging market economies
Felix Hammermann - 2008
This study addresses the potential trade-off between inflation and exchange rate targeting in former transition countries, which now may be labeled emerging market economies and which prepare for entry into the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Among this group of countries, some implemented...
