Consistent estimates of the public/private wage gap
TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed semi-and nonparametric approaches to estimate the public/private wage gap in Italy, and showed that the bias from parametric assumptions is as large as 10%.Abstract:
Existing estimates of the public/private wage gap allow for possible sorting of individuals into one sector, but they rely on parametric assumptions that may introduce substantial bias in the parameter of interest. Solutions are semi- and nonparametric approaches. For Italy, the latter methods yield a gap of approximately 20%, whereas the bias from parametric assumptions is as large as 10%.read more

Evolution and Rationality Some Recent Game-Theoretic Results. Identification and Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated conditions sufficient for identification of average treatment effects using instrumental variables and showed that the existence of valid instruments is not sufficient to identify any meaningful average treatment effect.

The more you know, the better you’re paid? Evidence from pay secrecy bans for managers
Ian Burn,Kyle Kettler +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that pay secrecy bans increased the wages of managers by 3.5% but had no effect on the gender wage gap, job tenure, or labor supply, and the wage gains were concentrated among managers employed at firms with fewer than 500 employees.

Public–Private Wage Differentials: Evidence from The Netherlands
TL;DR: The authors analyzed public-private wage differentials in The Netherlands between 2006 and 2017 using OLS and simultaneous quantile regression models to compare gross hourly wages of employees at different quantiles of the wage distribution.

Sample Selection Bias as a Specification Error
TL;DR: In this article, the bias that results from using non-randomly selected samples to estimate behavioral relationships as an ordinary specification error or "omitted variables" bias is discussed, and the asymptotic distribution of the estimator is derived.

Problems with Instrumental Variables Estimation when the Correlation between the Instruments and the Endogenous Explanatory Variable is Weak
TL;DR: In this article, the use of instruments that explain little of the variation in the endogenous explanatory variables can lead to large inconsistencies in the IV estimates even if only a weak relationship exists between the instruments and the error in the structural equation.
