The purpose of this paper is to explain the factors affecting the wage of the vocational high school graduates. We particularly examine the effectiveness of controlling sample selection bias by employing the Tobit model and Heckman sample selection model. The major results are as follows. First it is shown that the Tobit model and Heckman sample selection model controlling sample selection bias is statistically significant. Hence all the independent variables seem to be statistically consistent with the theoretical model. Second, gender was statistically significant, both in the probability of employment and the wage. Third, the employment probability and wage of Maester high school graduates were shown to be high compared to all other graduates. Fourth, the higher parent's income, the higher are both the employment probability and the wage. Finally, parents education level, high school grade, satisfaction, and a number of licenses were found to be statistically significant, both in the probability of employment and wages.

In this study, we have found the major factors which affect Korean women's wage analysing the data provided by 2015 Korea Labor Panel Survey (KLIPS). In general, wage data is difficult to analyze because random sampling is infeasible. Heckman sample selection model is the most widely used method for analysing the data with sample selection. Heckman proposed two kinds of selection models: the one is the model with maximum likelihood method and the other is the Heckman two stage model. Heckman two stage model is known to be robust to the normal assumption of bivariate error terms. Recently, Marchenko and Genton (2012) proposed the Heckman selectiont model which generalizes the Heckman two stage model and concluded that Heckman selection-t model is more robust to the error assumptions. Employing the two models, we carried out the analysis of the data and we compared those results.

In this study, we analyzed the determinants of wages of college graduates by using the data of "2014 Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey" conducted by Korea Employment Information Service. In general, wages contain two complex pieces of information about whether an individual is employed and the size of the wage. However, in many previous researches on wage determinants, sample selection bias tends to be generated by performing linear regression analysis using only information on wage size. We used the Heckman sample selection models for analysis to overcome this problem. The main results are summarized as follows. First, the validity of the Heckman's sample selection model is statistically significant. Male is significantly higher in both job probability and wage than female. As age increases and parents' income increases, both the probability of employment and the size of wages are higher. Finally, as the university satisfaction increases and the number of certifications acquired increased, both the probability of employment and the wage tends to increase.

When I examined the corporate financing statistics in Korea, I have recognized that there are several trends of them. First, large enterprises use bank loan and direct financing like corporate bond as debt. Second, small and medium companies mainly use bank loan only. So I argue that there is sample selection bias in corporate debt choice and using sample selection methodology is more adequate when analysing the behavior in corporate debt choice. Therefore I have tested panel sample selection model, using the listed korean firm data from 1990 to 2013 and I have found that the panel sample selection model is appropriate.

In a parametric sample selection model, the distribution assumption is critical to obtain consistent estimates. Conventionally, the normality assumption has been adopted for both error terms in selection and main equations of the model. The normality assumption, however, may excessively restrict the true underlying distribution of the model. This study introduces the $S_U$-normal distribution into the error distribution of a sample selection model. The $S_U$-normal distribution can accommodate a wide range of skewness and kurtosis compared to the normal distribution. It also includes the normal distribution as a limiting distribution. Moreover, the $S_U$-normal distribution can be easily extended to multivariate dimensions. We provide the log-likelihood function and expected value formula based on a bivariate $S_U$-normal distribution in a sample selection model. The results of simulations indicate the $S_U$-normal model outperforms the normal model for the consistency of estimators. As an empirical application, we provide the sample selection model for car ownership and a car expense relationship.

In the study, we try to get reliable estimates of intergenerational income mobility in Korea. At first, we show that the low estimates of previous studies are mainly due to sample selection problem. The direct estimations using OLS after correcting this problem show higher values than previous estimates. We also compute the attenuation bias by decomposing the variances of earnings into the variances of permanent and transitory components of earnings by the results of the regression. Additionally, we try to estimate the range of intergenerational mobility by comparing the OLS results with the results of the two samples instrumental variable estimation and the three samples instrumental variable estimation. The results of these estimations are a little higher than or similar to OLS results.

This study examines the wage level from a viewpoint of major-job match as part of an analysis on the skill mismatch problem in 4-year college graduates. The empirical analysis explicitly incorporate the sample selection bias as an econometric problem not only suggested but merely introduced in the earlier studies. This study also set up a major-job match variable, which was usually handled as a binary variable for analytical convenience, as a polychotomous choice variable in selection equation as provided by the survey. In particular, it considered multi-cohort survey on graduates of the years 1982, 1992, and 2002 for the empirical analysis. As a result of empirical analysis, the wage premium of a major-job match was identified. This result was consistent after the consideration of a sample selection bias and also after modeling the major-job match variable as polychotomously selective. Through an analysis classified by the major, this study identified a relatively high wage premium among Social Science, Engineering, and Science majors. However, there was a difference in the effect of selection among these majors. Also, by assessing cohort effects this study found that the skill mismatch had rapidly progressed in 1992, while difference between 1992 and 2002 cohorts are insignificant. The analysis suggests that wage level is better understood within the context of both sample selection and major-job match, and regardless of model specification the major-job match affects wage strongly.

지난 20여년간 화물수송 분야에는 큰 변화가 있었다. 수송 공급 측면에서는 보다 다양하고 기술적으로 앞선 수송수단들이 등장했으며, 수송 수요 측면에서는 로지스틱스 개념의 도입으로 화주들의 보다 높은 수송 서비스가 요구 되었다. 수송수단의 수송 분담에 있어서도 특히 철도에서 공로로의 두드러진 화물이동 현상이 나타났다. 이러한 변화는 수송 현안 해결에 대한 관심을 높이고 화물수송수요 예측기법의 이론적, 개념적인 발달을 가져왔다. 그 중 두드러진 발달은 화주의 행태를 반영하는 행태모형의 개발과 새로운 자료수집 방법 및 자료형태이다. 전통적으로 화물수송 및 교통 연구에 널리 사용된 행태모형은 확률표본을 사용하여 왔으나, 80년대 부터 비확률 표본 사용에 관심이 높아졌다. 그 대표적인 것으로 기반근거 데이터를 들 수 있다. 이 데이터는 제한된 정보를 제공한다는 자료자체의 한계를 지니고 있으나, 자료수집이 용이하고 비용이 저렴하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 화물수송 분야에서 선택기반 데이터를 이용한 연구는 현재까지 두 편이 발표 되어 있다. 따라서 볼 연구는 선택기반 데이터를 이용한 개별선택모형의 잠재력을 검증하는 것을 그 목적으로 하고, 네 종류의 제조품 그룹을 대상으로 기반근거 데이터를 수집하여 로짓모형을 추정하였으며, 추정결과를 이전 연구들의 결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 검토 하였다. 추정된 결과는 통계적으로 유의하며 직관적으로 타당한 것으로 나타난다. 또한 그 결과는 문헌의 결과와도 일치하였다. 수송계획에 있어서 자료수집비용 절감의 필요성을 생각할 때 이것은 중요한 의미를 지닌다.

The hypothetical nature of stated preferences can lead to a hypothetical bias that might work as a normative pressure, influencing survey responses. This paper aims to test the impact of social desirability bias by comparing economic estimates based on both subjective and objective valuation questions. The case study is about an urban riverine restoration project in Deajeon, South Korea. As valuation methods both contingent valuation and choice experiments were comparatively applied. Based on a nationally representative sample of 1,000 respondents, the test results offered contrasting conclusions between two test approaches. Accroding to the estimation results based on the conventional valuation, the marginal willingness to pay estimates are 10,500 KRW from CV; and 18,600 KRW for improving water quality, 2,200 KRW for the inside view, 8,900 KRW for the outside view, and 5,800 KRW for biodiversity from CE. A segmentation-based approach is a conventionally used method, which showed a limited impact of social desirability on willingness to pay estimates. The alternative parameterization-based approach measures a model-wide impact of social desirability, proving a significant bias. Although the study positioned a cheap-talk statement before the valuation section of the survey questionnaires, which might have pre-screened the bias, the overall implications of the results suggest a caution in reducing and observing hypothetical bias. There might remain a significant and substantial hypothetical bias even after cheap-talk, particularly in situations with strong social desirability, so that the potential role of objective valuation questions is guaranteed.
