Data description
Cross-section data originating from the March 1988 Current Population Survey by the US Census Bureau. The data is a sample of men aged 18 to 70 with positive annual income greater than USD 50 in 1992, who are not self-employed nor working without pay. Wages are deflated by the deflator of Personal Consumption Expenditure for 1992. A problem with CPS data is that it does not provide actual work experience. It is therefore customary to compute experience as age - education - 6 (as was done by Bierens and Ginther, 2001), this may be considered potential experience. As a result, some respondents have negative experience
