Panel Attrition from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics: Household Income, Marital Status, and Mortality
分析收入动态面板研究中样本流失的决定因素，及其对估计家庭收入动态、婚姻形成与解体、成人死亡风险等动态行为模型的影响。研究发现存在显著选择性流失，但忽略它导致的偏差很小。
This analysis is concerned with the determinants of panel attrition from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and with its consequences for estimation of dynamic behavioral models which exploit the panel or longitudinal information-household income dynamics, marriage formation and dissolution, and adult mortality risk. We develop and estimate joint models of attrition and one or more of these substantive processes, and allow for correlation across the equations through random effects. Although we find evidence of significant selectivity in attrition behavior, the biases that are introduced by ignoring selective attrition are very mild.
