Abstrak

We introduce tools for controlled variable selection to economists. In particular, we apply a recently introduced aggregation scheme for false discovery rate (FDR) control to German administrative data to determine the parts of the individual employment histories that are relevant for the career outcomes of women. Our results suggest that career outcomes can be predicted based on a small set of variables, such as daily earnings, wage increases in combination with a high level of education, employment status, and working experience.
