Nber Working Paper Series Is the Ged an Effective Route to Postsecondary Education for School Dropouts?
We use data from the Texas Schools Microdata Panel (TSMP) to examine the extent to which dropouts use the GED as a route to post-secondary education. The paper develops a model pointing out the potential biases in estimating the effects of taking the "GED path" to postsecondary education. Lacking suitable instruments that would allow us to directly address potential biases, our approach is to b...

متن کاملThe Use of Inter-States Variation in GED Passing Standards for estimating the Effect of a GED Degree on Labor Market Outcomes of High School Dropouts - A Critique
Test scores are often employed to control for unobserved heterogeneity. Using a simple model in which the test score is the product of abilities and short-run efforts we show that test scores obtained under different payoffs do not reflect the same composition of abilities and therefore should not serve as controllers for unobserved skills. Using the Current Population Survey (March supplements...

The first investigated the categorical perception of Japanese geminate consonants. In this experiment, we carried out a listening test to measure perceptual characteristics by Korean learners.

متن کاملGeD spline estimation of multivariate Archimedean copulas
A new multivariate Archimedean copula estimation method is proposed in a non-parametric setting. The method uses the so called Geometrically Designed splines (GeD splines), recently introduced by Kaishev et al. (2006 a,b) [10] and [11], to represent the cdf of a random variable Wθ, obtained through the probability integral transform of an Archimedean copula with parameter θ. Sufficient conditio...
