We provide identification results for a broad class of learning models in which continuous outcomes depend on three … estimator exhibits good finite-sample properties. Finally, we illustrate our approach with an application to ability learning in … the context of occupational choice. Our results point to substantial ability learning based on realized wages. …

We derive a tractable nonlinear earnings function which we estimate separately for each individual in the NLSY79 data. These estimates yield five important parameters for each individual: three ability measures (two representing the ability to learn and one the ability to earn), a rate of skill...
