The Dynamic Retention Model for Air Force Officers: New by Michael Mattock, Jeremy Arkes

By Michael Mattock, Jeremy Arkes

The U.S. Air strength (USAF) wishes actual versions to boost retention rules that make sure the strength has a adequate variety of skilled officials to fulfill necessities. not like the annualized rate of leaving (ACOL) version, the dynamic retention version (DRM) can be utilized take into consideration the retention influence of the provision of multi-year contracts akin to the Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) software to convinced periods of USAF officials.

The estimates reported for pilots assume that the civilian pilot wage corresponds either to the 90th percentile of all wages observed or to the 50th percentile of all pilot wages observed in the civilian population. While the differing assumptions result in different estimates for the taste distribution, the differing parameter estimates had little impact on model fit or on the corresponding simulations. The estimates reported for mission support officers assume that the civilian wage corresponds to the 50th percentile of all wages observed in the civilian population of full-time workers.

Here is a slightly more formal treatment of ACOL. In this discussion, the ACOL 2 model is simplified in that the covariates are not included. 5) This is identical to the equation for the DRM. 6) Where G Max[Et (Vt L1 ), Et (Vt S1 )] is the discounted maximum of the expected value of staying or leaving. 2 John A. Ausink and David A. S. : National Bureau of Economic Research, Working Paper No. W4593, December 1993. Comparing the Dynamic Retention Model and the Annualized Cost of Leaving Family of Models 15 The key difference from the DRM is that the ACOL is computing the maximum of the expected values rather than the expected value of the maximum.

The qualitative similarity of our results to those of Gotz and McCall lends some support to the idea that modeling the individual leads to 3 Gotz and McCall, 1984. 22 The Dynamic Retention Model for Air Force Officers parameter estimates that are less dependent on the specific structure of policies in effect during the period covered by the data. In particular we find that the mode of the taste distribution is negative, as was found by Gotz and McCall. We also replicate the finding of Gotz and McCall that the estimate of the scale parameter of the taste distribution can be relatively large compared to annual compensation.
