  • Match Bias in Wage Gap Estimates Due to Earnings Imputation

    Barry T Hirsch, Edward J SchumacherARTICLEJournal of Labor Economics2004

    About 30% of workers in the Current Population Survey have earnings imputed. Wage gap estimates are biased toward zero when the attribute being studied (e.g., union status) is not a criterion used to match donors to nonrespondents. An expression for “match bias” is derived in which attenuation equals the sum of match error rates. Attenuation can be approximated by the proportion with imputed earnings. Union wage gap estimates with match bias remo…

  • The Earnings and Employment of Nurses in an Era of Cost Containment

    Edward J SchumacherARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2001Cited by: 1References: 12

    Previous research has shown that from the 1980s through the early 1990s, nurses enjoyed substantial wage and employment gains that stemmed, to some extent, from increased labor demand. Using individual data for 1988-98 to compare nurses' fortunes with those of college-educated women and other workers in the health care industry, the author documents that nurses experienced a decline in real wages beginning in the early 1990s, at the same time tha…

  • The production of health and the valuation of medical inputs in wage-amenity models

    Open AccessEdward J Schumacher, Jaye Cee Whitehead et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2000References: 9

    Using a hedonic wage-amenity model, this paper examines the valuation of medical inputs into the production of health. The data used in this study include the incomes, demographics and measures of human capital for households in eastern North Carolina with county level medical input supply. These data allow an estimate of the marginal value of medical care inputs such as the physician to population ratio and the availability of specialized servic…

  • Compensating Differentials and Unmeasured Ability in the Labor Market for Nurses: Why Do Hospitals Pay More

    Edward J Schumacher, Barry T HirschARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1997Cited by: 6References: 16

    Registered nurses (RNs) employed in hospitals realize a large wage advantage relative to RNs employed elsewhere. Cross-sectional estimates indicate a hospital RN wage advantage of roughly 20%. This paper examines possible sources of the hospital premium, a topic of some interest given the current shifting of medical care out of hospitals. Longitudinal analysis of Current Population Survey data for 1979-94 suggests that a third to a half of the ad…
