Experience, Human Capital and Complementarity: The Case of Young Men Presented: [S.L.], The Eastern Economic Association Meeting, 1976 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Eastern Economic Association Keyword(s): Behavior; Earnings; Human Capital Theory; Schooling; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper utilizes a human capital framework in analyzing the earnings of young men age 17 to 27 in 1969. In contrast to most of the previous work in this area, the implications of different types of experience for self- investment behavior and earnings are explored. In addition, explicit attention is devoted to possible complementarities or interactions among various types of human capital investment, particularly those interactions between schooling and investments undertaken in the context of labor market experience. The results suggest that there are significant differences in the earnings effects of different types of experience and that complementarities may be quite strong. Implications are drawn for manpower and educational policy and future work in modeling the determinants of earnings. |
