Robust estimation of wage dispersion with censored data : an application to occupational earnings risk and risk attitudes

Pollmann, Daniel; Dohmen, Thomas; Palm, Franz C. - 2013

We present a semiparametric method to estimate group-level dispersion, which is particularly effective in the presence of censored data. We apply this procedure to obtain measures of occupation-specific wage dispersion using top-coded administrative wage data from the German IAB Employment...

A weighty issue revisited : the dynamic effect of body weight on earnings and satisfaction in Germany ; conference paper

Kropfhäußer, Frieder; Sunder, Marco - 2013

We estimate the effect of changes in the body mass index on wages and satisfaction in a panel of German employees. Dynamic models indicate that satisfaction with life in general and with health are responsive to weight changes, but wages and satisfaction with work are not. These results mainly...

Estimating Heterogeneity in Lifetime Earnings Risk

Drewianka, Scott D.; Oberg, P. - 2021

This paper measures risk in the present value of workers’ remaining lifetime earnings. Building upon a common earnings specification, our estimate combines flexible, heterogeneous forecasts of individuals’ expected earnings growth rates and the variances of potential permanent and temporary...

Misspecification Testing in a Class of Conditional Distributional Models

Rothe, Christoph - 2012

We propose a specification test for a wide range of parametric models for the conditional distribution function of an outcome variable given a vector of covariates. The test is based on the Cramer-von Mises distance between an unrestricted estimate of the joint distribution function of the data,...
