En este trabajo utilizamos los más recientes métodos de regresión no condicionada por cuantiles (RNCQ) para estudiar los efectos distributivos de la educación en Argentina. Los métodos estándar se centran, por lo general, en efectos promedio o estudian los efectos distributivos ya sea...

We use recent unconditional quantile regression methods (UQR) to study the distributive effects of education in Argentina. Standard methods usually focus on mean effects, or explore distributive effects by either making stringent modeling assumptions, and/or through counterfactual decompositions...

A new Stata command, xtsktest, is proposed to explore non-normalities in linear panel data models. The tests explore skewness and excess kurtosis allowing researchers to identify departures away from gaussianity in both error components of a standard panel regression, separately or jointly. The...

The ‘paradox of progress’ is an empirical regularity that associates more education with larger income inequality. Two driving and competing factors behind this phenomenon are the convexity of the ‘Mincer equation’ (that links wages and education) and the heterogeneity in its returns, as...
