• Changes in the Distribution of Income Volatility (2008, methodology): “This accommodates not just an evolving distribution of volatility parameters, but also systematic changes over the life-cycle in volatility paramters, as suggested by Shin and Solon (2008). Subcripts for i and t indicate that volatility parameters may differ across individuals and over time, as disc”
• The Nature of Countercyclical Income Risk (2014, methodology): “Solon et al. (1994) use PSID data and emphasize composition bias for understanding why this regression implies a small cyclicality when using aggregate data but much larger values with micro data. Schulhofer-Wohl (2011) uses a similar regression to measure the cyclicality of earnings for workers wit”
• Poverty and the American Family: A Decade in Review (2010, background): “…families increasingly dependent on work as an income source, and some evidence of rising rates of income instability (Hacker & Jacobs, 2008; see Shin & Solon, 2008, for details on the debate regarding instability trends), especially at the tails of the income distribution (Dynan, Elmendorf, &…”
• Economic Insecurity and Social Stratification (2012, background): “Other analyses of the PSID have found rising volatility in the 1970s, but later trends were marked more by the business cycle— with volatility increasing in recessions—than by a steady upward trajectory (Haider 2001, Shin & Solon 2011).”
• Decomposing Trends in Income Volatility: The 'Wild Ride' at the Top and Bottom (2014, background): “If there is a time-varying factor loading on the unobserved heterogeneity then differencing will not eliminate potential attrition bias, though if the loading changes slowly over time as suggested in Shin and Solon (2011), then differencing will mostly eliminate bias.”
• Understanding Earnings Instability: How Important are Employment Fluctuations and Job Changes? (2009, unknown): “For our results that compare to Shin and Solon (2008), we focus on a sample of men who are 25-59 in both years.”
• Nonstationarity in time series of state densities (2016, background): “15 In our empirical analysis, we drop all topcoded individual earnings as well as zero earnings as in Liu (2011) and Shin and Solon (2011).”
