The effect of schooling and ability on achievement test scores
Hansen, Karsten T.; Heckman, James J.; Mullen, Kathleen J. - 2003
endogeneity of schooling by postulating that both schooling and test scores are generated by a common unobserved latent ability … measured test scores are slightly larger for lower latent ability levels. We find that schooling increases the AFQT score on … by estimating the impact of schooling on measured test scores at various quantiles of the latent ability distribution. …

Adult education in the European Union - with a focus on Hungary
Hámori, Szilvia (contributor) - 2008
This paper examines adult education in Hungary for the years 1999, 2001 and 2003 along three dimensions: (a) the … fraction of individuals participating in adult education, (b) their demographic and socio-economic characteristics and (c) the … probability of participating in adult education / adult education lasting less than one year in the framework of a logit model. In …

Modeling the effects of grade retention in high school
Baert, Stijn; Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo - 2015
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short- (end-of-year evaluation) and long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to regression discontinuity designs, this approach captures treatment heterogeneity and controls for...

Modeling the effects of grade retention in high school
Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo; Baert, Stijn - 2017
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short-run (end-of-year evaluation) and in the long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to other evaluation approaches, this model captures essential treatment heterogeneity and...

The Relationship between Health and Labour Force Participation : Evidence from a Panel Data Simultaneous Equation Model
Cai, Lixin - 2007
A concern when estimating the effect of health on labour supply is that health might be endogenous, and in particular that people might use poor health to justify non-participation. This would result in the effect of health being overestimated if health were treated as exogenous. The paper...
