Studies of organizational learning and forgetting identify potential channels through which the firm’s production experience is lost. While the ability to distinguish between these channels has implications for efficient resource allocation within the firm, to date, their relative importance...

The effect of shift structure on worker performance and productivity is an issue of increasing interest to firms and regulatory bodies. Using approximately 742,000 emergency medical incidents attended by 2,400 paramedics in the state of Mississippi, we evaluate the extent to which paramedics'...

Identifying the causal effect of prenatal maternal smoking on infant health is complicated by unobservable maternal characteristics and behaviors which are plausibly related to both birth outcomes and a mother’s propensity to smoke. Previous studies have addressed the omitted variables problem...

When a binary variable is misclassified, the measurement error is necessarily correlated with the truth. This observation has implications for an instrumental variables (IV) framework in which the endogenous variable is a potentially mismeasured binary variable. Ignoring misclassification leads...

In simple terms, endogeneity is the violation of an assumption in regression analysis that, if not properly addressed, may undermine the reliability of standard empirical analyses and of the inferences based upon them. Endogeneity arises when one or more of the explanatory variables included as...
