Question

One paper by Steven Haider and Gary Solon challenged the traditional estimation of this quantity using its current analog as a proxy. Joshua Angrist used CWHS data to study the impacts on this quantity from military service and draft avoidance (-5[1])behavior from the Vietnam War draft lottery. The parameter B in a model to estimate this quantity by Gary Becker accounts for changes in physical and intellectual (-5[1])capability. Yoram Ben-Porath (-5[2])adapted (-5[1])that model to estimate this quantity into an individual (*) human capital production function, concluding that maximizing this quantity is equivalent to optimally investing in individual economic growth. (-5[2])Since (-5[1])the late 20th century, (-5[1])most labor economists have decomposed the growth of inequality in this quantity into persistent and transitory components. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this quantity that is, on median, 2.8 million (-5[1])dollars (-5[1])for holders of bachelor’s degrees. (10[1])■END■ (10[3]0[8])
