We propose a general method of moments technique to identify measurement error in self-reported and transcript-reported schooling using differences in wages, test scores, and other covariates to discern the relative verity of each measure. We also explore the implications of such reporting errors for both OLS and IV estimates of the returns to schooling. The results cast a new light on two comm...

We use the potential outcome approach to measure the causal effect of human capital investments on earnings as a continuous treatment effect.
