Cunha, Flavio - 2005
This paper develops and applies a method for decomposing cross section variability of earnings into components that are forecastable at the time students decide to go to college (heterogeneity) and components that are unforecastable. About 60% of variability in returns to schooling is...

Using observed choices to infer agent's information : reconsidering the importance of borrowing constraints, uncertainty and preferences in college attendance
Navarro, Salvador - 2011
I use economic theory and estimates of a semiparametrically identified structural model to analyze the role played by credit constraints, uncertainty and preferences in explaining college attendance. A methodology for inferring information available to the agent from individual choices is...
