越来越多的经济学文献将人格特质视为劳动力市场生产率和其他结果个体差异的根源。本文概述了这些技能的作用，特别关注测量和估计。基于不同学科的相关文献，讨论了用于评估人格的常见心理测量方法，并强调了其应用的关键假设。此外，我们报告并描述了旨在将人格特质纳入决策的经济模型的最新研究想法。在此基础上，总结了有关非认知技能的实证文献的主要结果。最后，我们提供了计量经济学分析的简要指南，考虑了人格特质实证分析中常见的计量经济学陷阱，并回顾了可能的解决方案。 (C) 2013 年威尼斯大学由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
There is an increasing economic literature considering personality traits as a source of individual differences in labor market productivity and other outcomes. This paper provides an overview on the role of these skills with a particular focus on measurement and estimation. Based on the relevant literature from different disciplines, common psychometric measures used to assess personality are discussed and critical assumptions for their applications are highlighted. Moreover, we report and describe ideas of recent research that aims at incorporating personality traits into economic models of decision making. Based on these foundations, the main results of the empirical literature regarding noncognitive skills are summarized. Finally, we provide a brief guide to econometric analysis with consideration of common econometric pitfalls that evolve in empirical analysis of personality traits and review possible solutions.
