1.	Earnings Losses of Displaced Workers in Times of Crisis Contemporary Economic Policy published online (10 March 2023): DOI: 10.1111/coep.12605. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/coep.12605 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Western Economic Association International Keyword(s): Displaced Workers; Earnings; Economic Changes/Recession We utilize data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to study how the earnings losses experienced by displaced workers vary in times of economic crisis. Relative to an economy that operates at full potential, our results show that a 1% increase in the real gross domestic product gap observed at the time of displacement is associated with an additional increase in the estimated earnings losses experienced by displaced workers of approximately 4.3% in the year immediately following displacement, and with similar increases in the estimated losses for up to 5 years after.

2.	Training Opportunities in Monopsonistic Labour Markets Applied Economics 51,43 (2019): 4757-5768. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00036846.2019.1602707 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Labor Market Demographics; Monopsony Employers; Training This paper studies the empirical relationship between the extent of monopsonistic power observed in occupational labour markets and the training opportunities available to workers in those markets; using data from the American National Longitudinal Survey of Youth of 1979. The results reveal a positive and significant association between monopsony power and training availability. The estimated association is found to be stronger for individuals with a college degree, with longer tenure in their jobs, and higher wages. These results are consistent across several econometric specifications that control for time, occupation, and individual fixed effects.

3.	A Comparative Study of Training in the Private and Public Sectors: Evidence from the United Kingdom and the United States Contemporary Economic Policy 34,1 (January 2016): 107-118. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/coep.12120/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Western Economic Association International Keyword(s): British Household Panel Survey (BHPS); Training; Training, Employee; Wage Effects Formal training programs are one of the main channels through which workers become more productive and experience wage growth. So far, however, most of the results on the effects of employer-provided training come from studying the training received by private sector workers only. We extend the literature by identifying and comparing the effects of private-employer-provided and public-employer-provided training in the United States and the United Kingdom. We address this question using two independent data sets from the British Household Panels Surveys and the American National Longitudinal Survey of Youth of 1979.

4.	Monopsony Power in Occupational Labor Markets Journal of Labor Research 40 (2019): 387-411. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12122-019-09289-w Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Benefits, Fringe; Labor Market Demographics; Monopsony Employers; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We collect data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and create comparable measures of monopsonistic power for up to 46 occupational labor markets in the USA, starting in 1979 and ending in 2000. Our results suggest most occupational labor markets during that period were characterized by substantial amounts of monopsonistic, wage-setting power. Furthermore, after controlling for individual, time, and industry fixed effects, our results show a negative and significant correlation between the extent of monopsony power that characterizes a market and both, the wages and fringe benefits received by workers.

5.	The Cyclicality of Skill Acquisition: Evidence from Panel Data American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics 4,3 (July 2012): 128-152. Also: http://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/mac.4.3.128 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Economic Association Keyword(s): Education; Employment; Skill Formation; Skills; Training Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper presents new empirical evidence regarding the cyclicality of skill acquisition activities. The paper studies both training and schooling episodes at the individual level using quarterly data from the NLSY79 for a period of 19 years. We find that aggregate schooling is strongly countercyclical, while aggregate training is acyclical. Several training categories, however, behave procyclically. The results also indicate that firm-financed training is procyclical, while training financed through other means is countercyclical; and that the cyclicality of skill acquisition investments depends significantly on the educational level and the employment status of the individual.
