TEA.1.3

Description

The three 1996-1997 follow-up earning capacity prediction studies included in this paper are part of a longitudinal series of published and unpublished follow-up replication and predictive validity generalization studies dating back to 1984. Methodological refinements to this series of studies have been made since 1984 to increase the power of the McCroskey Vocational Quotient (VQ) as a predictor of pre and post-injury earning capacity range estimates. Data reduction methods to achieve the most representative, stable and least erroneous final VQ wage data sets have been identified and replicated.
