The economics and statistics literature using computer simulation based methods has grown enormously over the past decades. Maximum Simulated Likelihood is a statistical tool useful for incorporating individual differences (called heterogeneity in the econometrics literature) and variations into a statistical analysis. Contributors to the volume discuss alternative simulation methods that permit faster and more accurate inference, as well as applications of established methods

Racial pay differentials, 1967 and 1976 compared.

Differential risk & changes in risk affect human capital accumulation, labor market supply patterns, fertility, & many other types of human behavior. One specific type of risk is examined -- that of marital dissolution. It is hypothesized that wives subject to high probabilities of marital dissolution are more likely to be working in the labor market; it is further hypothesized that these wives will have accumulated larger amounts of labor market experience than other wives. These hypotheses are tested with 1967 US Census Bureau data on 2,000 white & 2,000 black couples. A significant impact of marital dissolution risk on wives' labor supply behavior is apparent; however, labor market behavior of white wives seems more sensitive than that of black wives to changes in the risk of divorce. 1 Table, 2 Figures.
