| Abstract: | This paper discusses 3 issues in estimating wage regressions by using the aggregated data from the Japanese Basic Survey of Wage Structure (BSWS). Included are: 1. the order of taking averages and logs, 2. the usage of differently aggregated tables in the BSWS, 3. the treatment of the bonus variable for workers having just joined a firm. To address them, presented are regression results from the U.S. Current Population Survey (CPS). Ii is found that using differently aggregated tables sometimes affects the estimates significantly. Presented are also the results from wage regressions from the differently aggregated BSWS data. |
