>
> Abstract:
>
> The effects of a training program on employment and wages are
> evaluated, using data from a randomized study, the National Job Corps
> Study, and the principal stratification approach to simultaneously  
> address
> the complications of noncompliance, truncation of wages by  
> nonemployment,
> and missing outcomes. We conduct a likelihood-based analysis,  
> proposing
> different ways of improving computational efficiency and  
> identifiability
> using the theory of finite mixture models and exploiting the EM  
> algorithm.
> We maintain an IV exclusion restriction assumption on the outcomes,  
> while
> monotonicity of compliance holds by design. We provide estimates  
> with and
> without assuming monotonicity of the truncation of wages, under the  
> Missing
> at Random assumption of outcome missingness. For compliers, results  
> show
> that the effect on employment is generally positive; however, there  
> is a
> subgroup of complying participants for whom the program is
> detrimental on employment in the short term, although this effect  
> becomes
> negligible in the long term.  For the subgroup of always-employed
> compliers, that is, those  who would be employed whether trained or  
> not, the
> effect of the training on wages is generally positive.

> Joint work with P. Frumento, B. Pacini, and D.B. Rubin.
