accept

static decl accept [public]

accepted offer

alph0

static const decl alph0 [public]

α in paper

bet

static const decl bet [public]

β vector

di

static decl di [public]

indicators for accept.

Er

static decl Er [public]

return values before offers

FeasibleActions

KWJPE97 :: FeasibleActions ( )

isch

static decl isch [public]

initial years of schooling.

k

static decl k [public]

unobserved type.

kcoef

static const decl kcoef [public]

values of k by sector.

kdist

static KWJPE97 :: kdist ( ... )

Distribution of fixed effects conditional on initial schooling level.

kprob

static const decl kprob [public]

type distribution.

kwdelt

static const decl kwdelt [public]

mxcnts

static const decl mxcnts [public]

max. experience by sector.

static const decl ownsqr [public]

Replicate

static KWJPE97 :: Replicate ( )

rr

static decl rr [public]

return values`.

ThetaUtility

KWJPE97 :: ThetaUtility ( )

Compute aspects of utility not dependent on offers.

Because shocks are log-normal in working sectors the median shock is not the same as the mode. Not clear what K-W do based on the paper.

Returns:: U evaluated at MEDIAN of shocks to be used in approximation.

Utility

KWJPE97 :: Utility ( )

Utility vector equals the vector of feasible returns.

x

static decl x [public]

vector of current xper .

xper

static decl xper [public]

occupation experience array

YrDeg

static const decl YrDeg [public]

degree years (tuition).
