Klein, Tobias J.; Amann, R. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011

A regression of wages on firm tenure is likely to yield biased estimates of the returns to tenure because tenure and wages are confounded by unobserved attributes of the job and the unobserved quality of the match between the firm and the employee. Previously, the within-job variation in tenure...

The production of child health in Kenya: a structural model of birth weight

Mwabu, Germano - 2008

The paper investigates birth weight and its correlates in Kenya using nationally representative data collected by the government in the early 1990s. I find that immunization of the mother against tetanus during pregnancy is strongly associated with improvements in birth weight. Other factors...

A Control Function Approach to Estimating Dynamic Probit Models with Endogenous Regressors

Giles, John; Murtazashvili, Irina - In: Journal of Econometric Methods 2 (2013) 1, pp. 69-87

Abstract This paper proposes a parametric approach to estimating a dynamic binary response panel data model that allows for endogenous contemporaneous regressors. Such a model is of particular value for settings in which one wants to estimate the effects of an endogenous treatment on a binary...

Returns to Type or Tenure?

Amann, Roland A.; Klein, Tobias J. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We analyze the joint determination of wage levels, wage growth and firm tenure. Our analysis is built on estimating a reduced form for tenure, a structural wage level equation and a structural wage growth equation. We disentangle returns to a latent type variable from estimates of general...
