This paper examines the returns to the socioeconomic background of origin (or “classâ€) in the labor market in Chile. We employ individual data from several cohorts of graduates from the same program (Business and Economics) of a large and diverse public University in Chile. The data...

Partially linear models are linear regression models where one component is allowed to vary nonparametrically. Generalized partially linear models generalize this case from linear regression to the quasi-likelihood setting of standard GLIMs, thus encompassing a larger class models including...

Mixed-effects models contain both fixed and random effects. The fixed effects are analogous to standard regression coefficients and are estimated directly. The random effects are not directly estimated but instead are summarized according to their estimated variances and covariances, known as...

Stata version 9 includes the new command xtmixed, for fitting linear mixed models. Mixed models contain both fixed and random effects. The fixed effects are analagous to standard regression coefficients and are estimated directly. The random effects are not directly estimated but are summarized...

Different approaches have tried to explain the multiple ways in which businesses engage in social‐purpose activities. The achievements and shortcomings of business social engagement in a country with complex socio‐political conditions like Colombia allows a rich description in two levels: a...
