Measurement Error in the Prototypal Job-Search Model
指出基于顺序统计量的求职模型估计量易受工资测量误差影响,并提出一个考虑测量误差的模型,对研究工资数据的学者有参考价值。
Statistical analysis of the job-search model has isolated the role played by the minimum observed wage in identifying and estimating behavioral parameters. Estimators based on order statistics, however, are influenced by measurement error in ways that estimators based on averages are not, and there is ample evidence that wage data contain measurement errors. The authors propose a model in which worker behavior is captured by the prototypal search model but wages are observed with error. Copyright 1994 by University of Chicago Press.
