Dispersion in the economic return to schooling

Harmon, Colm ; Walker, Ian ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (Elsevier Science, 2003)

We extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient (RC). If the rapid expansion in participation in higher education has ...
Dispersion in the economic return to schooling

Harmon, Colm ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; Walker, Ian (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2001-08)

In this paper we extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the rate of return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient. One motivation is that if the increase in supply ...
Dispersion in the economic return to schooling

Harmon, Colm ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; Walker, Ian (University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2002-10-18)

We extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient. If the rapid expansion in participation in higher education has been ...
Earnings functions and rates of return

Heckman, James J. ; Lochner, Lance ; Todd, Petra (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2008-12-15)

The internal rate of return to schooling is a fundamental economic parameter that is often used to assess whether expenditure on education should be increased or decreased. This paper considers alternative approaches to ...
The identification & economic content of ordered choice models with stochastic thresholds

Cunha, Flavio ; Heckman, James J. ; Navarro, Salvador (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2007-07-16)

This paper extends the widely used ordered choice model by introducing stochastic thresholds and interval-specific outcomes. The model can be interpreted as a generalization of the GAFT (MPH) framework for discrete duration ...
Instrumental variables in models with multiple outcomes : the general unordered case

Heckman, James J. ; Urzua, Sergio ; Vytlacil, Edward (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2008-12-15)

This paper develops the method of local instrumental variables for models with multiple, unordered treatments when treatment choice is determined by a nonparametric version of the multinomial choice model. Responses to ...
The labor supply effect of in-kind transfers

Bingley, Paul ; Walker, Ian (University College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2008-09-12)

We estimate a model of labor supply and participation in multiple programs for UK lone mothers which exploits a reform of in-work transfers. Cash entitlements increased but eligibility to in-kind child nutrition programs ...
