Do Marital Status and Computer Usage Really Change the Wage Structure? Journal of Human Resources 39,3 (Summer 2004): 774-791. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3558996 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Marital Status; Skills; Wages This analysis uses several identification strategies and data sources to control for individual ability and determine the causal effect of marital status and computer usage on wages. Although data from the CPS, NLSY and a data set of identical twins show that there are large cross-sectional effects of these variables, new econometric specifications are applied to these data which indicate that marital status and computer usage are not important causal determinants of earnings, even after adjustments are made for measurement error and within-twin differences in ability. |

Evidence on Adverse Selection and Establishment Size in the Labor Market Industrial and Labor Relations Review 56,1 (October 2002): 84-96. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3270650 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Displaced Workers; Labor Market Demographics; Layoffs; Wage Effects A commonly suggested explanation for the finding that laid-off workers have greater mean post-displacement earnings losses than workers who lose their jobs through plant closings is that the former are of lower quality than the latter. But there is also an alternative explanation for this result: laid-off workers suffer larger earnings losses because, as a group, they have more to lose in the first place, having been displaced from larger, higher-wage establishments. An analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth confirms this hypothesis. Accounting for establishment size removes virtually all of the difference in wage losses from the two groups of displaced workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Urban Agglomeration, Wages and Selection: Evidence from Samples of Siblings Labour Economics 18,1 (January 2011): 79-92. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927537110000965#sec4 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Modeling, Fixed Effects; Siblings; Urbanization/Urban Living; Wages The large and significant relationship between city population and wages has been well-established in the agglomeration literature, and the influence of selection effects on this wage premium is important. This paper contributes new evidence to the understanding of this premium by using two different data sets of siblings in order to estimate the agglomeration premium while controlling for unobserved heterogeneity with a family-specific fixed effect. The inclusion of a familial fixed effect into the regression framework makes the city size wage premium insignificant, and there is a large return to a variable representing the correlation between familial ability and residence in an urban area in all of the data sets used in the analysis. The results are discussed in the context of the existing literature, and they demonstrate the importance of family background and selection effects for interpreting the agglomeration premium, which is small in the fixed effects regression. |
