Notes

In their article, Biddle and Hamermesh include an hourly wage measure in the sleep equation. An econometric problem that arises is that the hourly wage is missing for those who do not work. Plus, the wage offer may be endogenous (even if it were always observed). Biddle and Hamermesh employ extensions of the sample selection methods in Section 17.5. See their article for details.
