An Update of the Educational Attainment Model for a Minor Child Journal of Forensic Economics 14,2 (Spring-Summer 2001): 155-166.

An ordered probit educational attainment model, used to predict the lost earning capacity of a wrongfully injured minor child, was created by Spizman and Kane (1992) and expanded by Gill and Foley (1996). The Spizman and Kane study was limited by its reliance on a sample (NLS72) that did not contain data on high school dropouts, while the Gill and Foley study was limited by censored observations on completed educational attainment due to the relatively young age of the sample (NLS79) used in their study. The current study re-estimates the educational attainment model using six additional years of information on educational attainment for NLS79 participants. This additional sample information makes it possible to provide more reliable estimate of completed educational attainment. |
