1.	Maternal Labor Supply and Children's Cognitive Development NBER Working Paper No. 3536, National Bureau of Economic Research, 1990. Also: http://nber.nber.org/papers/W3536 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Child Care; Child Development; Children, Academic Development; Fathers, Absence; Gender Differences; General Assessment; Maternal Employment; Mothers, Education; Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) This paper analyzes the relationship between maternal labor supply and children's cognitive development, using a sample of three- and four-year old children of female respondents from the 1986 NLSY. Respondents of the NLSY were aged 21-29 in 1986; thus the sample consists of children of relatively young mothers. The authors show that for this group the impact of maternal labor supply depends upon when it occurs. Maternal employment is found to have a negative impact when it occurs in the first year of the child's life and a potentially offsetting positive effect when it occurs during the second and subsequent years. Some evidence was found that boys are more sensitive to maternal labor supply than girls, though the gender difference is not significant. The negative first-year effect is not mitigated to any great extent by the increased maternal income that accompanies it, though the increase in maternal income does appear to play an important role in producing the positive effect in the second and later years.

This paper analyzes the relationship between maternal labor supply and children's cognitive development using a sample of three- and four-year-old children of female respondents from the 1986 National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort. Maternal employment is found to have a negative impact when it occurs during the first year of the child's life and a potentially offsetting positive effect when it occurs during the second and subsequent years. The authors' findings suggest that maternal employment throughout a child's first three or four years would have no net effect on the child's cognitive ability.

3.	The Effect of Formal Training on Employment Duration SSRN Working Paper Series, Social Science Research Network, January 17, 2000.

Keyword(s): Employment; Human Capital; Statistical Analysis; Training; Training, Occupational; Training, On-the-Job Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate the effects of formal training on employment duration. Using an approach meant to distinguish between training as an unconditional investment and training as an outcome conditional on the quality of the job match, I find that on-site training received early in an employment spell--before the quality of a job match is likely to have been fully revealed--results in significantly longer employment spells, particularly for men.

5.	Does Supervisor Gender Affect Wages? Empirical Economics 46,2 (March 2014): 479-499. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00181-013-0695-4?no-access=true Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Gender; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Supervisor Characteristics; Wage Effects; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 (NLSY79) and the Current Population Survey to estimate the wage effects of having a female supervisor. Existing studies, using OLS to estimate the supervisor gender effect, find wage penalties for both men and women associated with working for a female supervisor. We extend this research in two important ways. First, we control for gender segregation at job level as opposed to the broader occupation level. This is important because of the concern that supervisor gender is simply a proxy for the gender-type of the job. Second, we apply fixed effects estimation to control for selection effects of supervisor gender. When using OLS we find estimates of the supervisor gender effect similar to those in the existing literature. However, when using fixed effects we find no evidence of a supervisor gender effect for women and only a small, marginally significant effect for men. We conclude that existing OLS estimates overstate the importance of the impact of supervisor gender on wages.

6.	Investment in Human Capital and Gender Wage Differences: Evidence from the NLSY Applied Economics 33,4 (2001): 463-471. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00036840123000 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Gender; Gender Differences; Human Capital; Modeling; Time Use; Training, Off-the-Job; Training, On-the-Job; Wage Differentials; Wage Gap This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to investigate gender differences in returns to various forms of human capital. Since the NLSY includes relatively detailed information regarding on- and off-the-job training, special emphasis is placed on measuring gender differences in the incidence of and returns to formal post-school training. Also considered is the role of non-human capital factors such as industry and occupation in explaining the wage gap. It is found that about 60% of the gender wage gap in the sample is explained by mean differences in individual characteristics and market circumstances. This suggests a smaller role for discrimination in explaining the wage gap than previous research has found. The research indicates that training does not affect the gender wage gap.
