Abstract

[eng] Estimating Gains from Panel Data: Endogenous Human Capital and Selection Effects, . by Yves Guillotin and Patrick Sevestre.. . The purpose of this article is to analyze two of the problems encountered when empirically testing gains functions using panel data. First of all, the biases resulting from the correlation between the initial human capital, experience and the unobserved individual characteristics (personal capacities, family-acquired skills, etc.) are contemplated. Secondly, cylinder sampling effects, such as those in the selection process for the individuals in the sample, are also studied. These two problems are illustrated by distinct gains function estimates, obtained using different methods, based on cylinder samples and non-cylinder samples taken from ENSEE's annual wage and salary return panel. The estimates show that appreciable biases can result from not taking the characteristics of the model and the data into account. [fre] Estimation de gains sur données de panel : endogénéité du capital humain et effets de la sélection, . par Yves Guillotin et Patrick Sevestre.. . L'objet de cet article est d'analyser deux des difficultés que l'on rencontre lorsqu'on souhaite réaliser des tests empiriques de fonctions de gains sur données de panel. D'une part, on envisage les biais résultant de la corrélation entre le capital humain initial, l'expérience et les caractéristiques individuelles non observées (capacités personnelles, acquis familiaux...) ; d'autre part, les effets du cylindrage des données, comme ceux du processus de sélection des individus appartenant à l'échantillon sont également étudiés. Nous illustrons ces deux problèmes par diverses estimations d'une fonction de gains, obtenues par différentes méthodes, sur des échantillons cylindres et non cylindres extraits du panel DAS de l'INSEE. Ces estimations montrent que l'absence de prise en compte de ces caractéristiques du modèle et des données peut conduire à des biais non négligeables. [spa] Estimación de ganancias con datos de panel: caracter endógeno del capital humano y efectos de la selección, . por Yves Guillotin y Patrick Sevestre.. . El objectivo de este artículo es de analizar dos de las dificultades con las que se tropieza cuando se prétende realizar tests empíricos de funciones de ganancia con datos de panel. Por un lado,se consideran los sezgos que provienen de la correlación entre el capital humano initial, la experiencia y las características individuales no observadas (capacidades personales, transmisión de costumbres y habilidades familiares,etc). Por otro lado, se estudian los efectos que produce el cilindraje de los datos así como también aquellos que resultan del proceso de selección de los individuos pertenecientes a la muestra. Se ejemplifican estos dos problemas mediante diversas estimaciones de una función de ganancia, obtenidas con métodos diferentes, a partir de muestras cilindradas y no cilindradas extraídas del panel de datos de salarios (DAS) del INSEE. Las estimaciones demuestran que si no se contemplan estas características del modelo y de los datos, se pueden introducir sezgos no desechables. [ger] Eine empirische Bewertung der Rationalität der belgischen Studenten und Studentinnen (1954-1987), . von Jean-Luc de Meulemeester.. . In diesem Artikel wird der Grad der ökonomischen Rationalität der jungen Belgier bewertet, die zwischen 1954 und 1987 ein Hochschulstudium aufnahmen. Hierzu wird ein Spinnwebmodell nach Freeman (1989) geschätzt, wobei hinsichtlich der Bildung der Erwartungen von verschiedenen Hypothesen ausgegangen wird. Ein rekursives Modell mit adaptiven Erwartungen und partieller Anpassung wird gewählt. Die Männer haben statischere Erwartungen als die Frauen; die Erwartungen sind nicht rational. Man gelangt zu der Feststellung, daß die Bildungsinvestition in einem Kontext größter Unsicherheit einen irreversiblen Charakter hat. Das Fehlen rationaler Erwartungen läßt somit nicht auf eine geringe Rationalität der Wirtschaftssubjekte schließen.
