After 40 Years, How Representative Are Labor Market Outcomes in the NLSY79? Working Paper No. 32361. National Bureau of Economic Research, April 2024. Also: https://www.nber.org/papers/w32361 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Earnings; Earnings Inequality; Economic Conditions; Employment; Labor Economics; Labor Market Outcomes; Labor Market Surveys; Social Security Administration; Work Hours/Schedule In 1979, the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) began following a group of US residents born between 1957 and 1964. It has continued to re-interview these same individuals for more than four decades. Despite this long sampling period, attrition remains modest. This paper shows that after 40 years of data collection, the remaining NLYS79 sample continues to be broadly representative of their national cohorts with regard to key labor market outcomes. For NLSY79 age cohorts, life-cycle profiles of employment, hours worked, and earnings are comparable to those in the Current Population Survey. Moreover, average lifetime earnings over the age range 25 to 55 closely align with the same measure in Social Security Administration data. Our results suggest that the NLSY79 can continue to provide useful data for economists and other social scientists studying life-cycle and lifetime labor market outcomes, including earnings inequality. |

Marriage and Work among Prime-Age Men Working Paper 23-02, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, January 2023. Also: https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/working_papers/2023/wp_23-02 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Keyword(s): Male Sample; Marriage; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Married men work substantially more hours than men who have never been married, even after controlling for observables. Panel data reveal that much of this gap is attributable to an increase in work in the years leading up to marriage. Two potential explanations for this increase are: (i) men hit by positive labor market shocks are more likely to marry; and (ii) the prospect of marriage increases men's labor supply. We quantify the relative importance of these two channels using a structural life-cycle model of marriage and labor supply. Our calibration implies that marriage substantially increases male labor supply. Counterfactual simulations suggest that if men were unable to marry, prime-age male work hours would fall by 7%, and if marriage rates fell to the extent observed, men born around 1980 would work 2% fewer hours than men born around 1960. |
