Optimally combining censored and uncensored datasets

Devereux, Paul J. ; Tripathi, Gautam (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2008-09)

We develop a simple semiparametric framework for combining censored and uncensored samples so that the resulting estimators are consistent, asymptotically normal, and use all information optimally. No nonparametric smoothing ...
Small sample bias in synthetic cohort models of labor supply

Devereux, Paul J. (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2006-05)

In synthetic cohort models (cross-sectional data grouped at the cohort and year level), researchers often ignore potential biases induced by sampling error because they have 100 or 200 observations per group. I investigate ...
Small-sample bias in synthetic cohort models of labor supply

Devereux, Paul J. (John Wiley & Sons, 2007-06)

This paper investigates small-sample biases in synthetic cohort models (repeated cross-sectional data grouped at the cohort and year level) in the context of a female labor supply model. I use the Current Population Survey ...
