We address long-standing concerns in the literature on compensating wage differentials: the econometric properties of the estimated value of statistical life (VSL) and the wide range of such estimates. We confront prominent econometric issues using panel data, a more accurate fatality risk measure, and systematic application of panel data estimators. Controlling for measurement error, endogeneity, latent individual heterogeneity possibly correlated with regressors, state…

Contrary to the predictions of the standard life-cycle model, many low-lifetime-income households accumulate little wealth relative to their incomes compared to households with high lifetime income. I use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and a correlated random-effects generalized-method-of-moments estimator to decompose the rich-poor gaps in wealth-to-permanent-income ratio into the portions attributable to differences in characteristics such as labor market…

The author examines the empirical performance of instrumental variables estimators with predetermined instruments in an application to life-cycle labor supply under uncertainty. The estimators studied are two stage least squares, generalized method-of-moments (GMM), forward filter, independently weighted GMM, and split-sample instrumental variables. The author compares the bias/efficiency trade-off for the estimators using bootstrap algorithms suggested by D. A. Freedman…
