Beginning stages of expanding econometric model of worklife expectancy by Millimet, D. Nieswiadomy, M. & Slottje, D.

Worklife expectancy is one of the most significant variables employed by economists to calculate the monetary award in cases involving wrongful death or personal injury. We are in the progress of updating the econometric model of worklife expectancy of Millimet et al.

In the coming days and weeks we will be reporting on our progress and providing output tables as we produce them.
