RODRIGUEZ-OREGGIA, Eduardo  and  LOPEZ-VIDELA, Bruno. Imputación de ingresos laborales. Una aplicación con encuestas de empleo en México. El trimestre econ [online]. 2015, vol.82, n.325, pp.117-146. ISSN 2448-718X.

The aim of this paper is to make imputation of earnings in observations with missing values in the Encuesta Nacional de Ocupaciones y Empleo (ENOE), and also to analyze a possible bias in human capital estimations from ignoring such missing observations. We present imputations by two methods, and also a correction for estimations by reweighting observations with reported earnings. The results show differences in human capital estimations on wages and factors related to labor poverty when missing values of earnings are ignored. Differences are acute when measuring labor poverty.

Keywords : imputación; ingreso; capital humano; pobreza laboral; matching.
