Lancaster University Management School Working Paper 2005 / 063 Skills and earnings revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
Regression and neural network models of wage determination are constructed where the explanatory variables include detailed information about skills. People skills, strategic skills, and IT skills all carry strong and significant wage premia; problemsolving skills (surprisingly) and physical skills (less surprisingly) do not. In contrast to the impact of school curriculum on subsequent earnings, the neural network modelling procedure does not pick up any significant nonlinearities in the relationship between skills and earnings.

Regression and neural network models of wage determination are constructed where the explanatory variables include detailed information about the impact of school curricula on future earnings. It is established that there are strong nonlinearities and interaction effects present in the relationship between curriculum and earnings. The results have important implications in the context of the hu...
متن کاملPost - Earnings Announcement Drift ?
The predictability of abnormal returns based on information contained in past earnings announcements is a statistically and economically significant anomaly. Neither is it illusory, nor is it an artefact of the experimental design. It may be a result of market inefficiency. Our results cannot rule out this explanation. However, we find that the magnitude of the post-earnings announcement effect...

متن کاملLancaster University Management School Working Paper 2005 / 064 Higher education institutions ' costs and efficiency : taking the decomposition a further step
A multiproduct cost function is estimated for English higher education institutions using a panel of data from recent years. The panel approach allows estimation by means of a random parameter stochastic frontier model which provides considerable new insights in that it allows the impact on costs of inter-institutional differences in the cost function itself to be distinguished from inter-insti...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Earnings Management Through Marketing Actions
Prior research hypothesizes managers use „real actions,‟ including the reduction of discretionary expenditures, to manage earnings to meet or beat key benchmarks. This paper examines this hypothesis by testing how different types of marketing expenditures are used to boost earnings for a durable commodity consumer product which can be easily stockpiled by end-consumers. Combining supermarket sc...
