This paper considers the identification and estimation of an extension of Roy's model (1951) of occupational choice, which includes a non-pecuniary component in the decision equation and allows for uncertainty on the potential outcomes. This framework is well suited to various economic contexts,...

Using American panel data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 this paperinvestigates the effect of working during full-time education on attainment. In particular the focus ison students in the twelfth grade of high school. By employing a propensity score matching...

It is often believed that without instrument, endogenous sample selection models are identified only if a covariate with a large support is available (see, e.g., Chamberlain, 1986, and Lewbel, 2007). We propose a new identification strategy mainly based on the condition that the selection...

This paper considers the identification and estimation of an extension of Roy’s model (1951) of sectoral choice, which includes a non-pecuniary component in the selection equation and allows for uncertainty on potential earnings. We focus on the identification of the non-pecuniary component,...

It is often believed that without instrument, endogenous sample selection modelsare identified only if a covariate with a large support is available (see Chamberlain,1986, and Lewbel, 2007). We propose a new identification strategy mainly based onthe condition that the selection variable becomes...

In this paper, we provide new evidence on the effect of part-time work on postsecondary educational attainment. To do so, we use samples extracted from the French Labor Force Surveys conducted over the years 1992-2002. These samples are restricted to students in initial education following...
