We estimate a wage model that includes an array of variables measuring the fraction of time
worked during each year of the career. This array fully characterizes past employment
experience, regardless of how sporadic it has been. Our model yields substantially higher ...

Tenure responses in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the National
Longitudinal Surveys are often inconsistent with calendar time. These inconsistencies pose
special problems in the PSID because job changes cannot be identified directly, so ...

We investigate whether the" match" between student ability and college quality is an

This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to distinguish

Using National Longitudinal Survey data, we estimate proportional hazard models in order

nonquitters. We find that women may be a higher risk than men in the overall sample ...

Students often accumulate substantial work experience before leaving school. Because
conventional earnings functions do not control for in-school work experience, their estimates

Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth reveal that 35 percent of white men
who leave school between 1979 and 1988 return to school by 1989. This paper examines
the wage effects of these nontraditional enrollment patterns. I estimate a wage model ...

Economists have invested a great deal of effort in trying to understand the motivation for

Abstract Using data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I identify causal

In a sample of males drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, one-third of the

Because the life cycle is not neatly divided into a period of full-time schooling followed by a
period of full-time employment, it is unclear where analysts should “start the clock” on the
career for purposes of estimating the returns to schooling. This study uses data from the ...

The direct, skill-enhancing effect of high school employment is difficult to identify because
high school work effort is correlated with curricular choices, postsecondary schooling and

For at least 25 years, labor economists have debated the value of sibling data for identifying

We investigate an unexplored avenue through which unemployment insurance increases

This paper explains how real wages are procyclical for those who stay with the same
