      Dagsvik, John K.; Hægeland, Torbjørn; Raknerud, Arvid (Discussion Papers;No. 486, Working paper, 2006)
      Abstract: In this paper we develop a full information maximum likelihood method for the estimation of a joint model for the choice of length of schooling and the corresponding earnings equation. The model for schooling ...
