Non-cognitive Mismatch and Occupational Switching Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics 97 (April 2022): 101846. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804322000222 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Cognitive Ability; Job Tenure; Noncognitive Skills; Occupations; Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits The process by which workers and firms establish positive assortative matches is complicated by the multidimensional nature of occupational requirements and worker skills and traits. This is especially important for young adult workers because early career mismatch is known to have long-term impacts on labor market outcomes. This paper extends recent research on multidimensional mismatch to look more closely at the role of non-cognitive mismatch on occupational switching. We do this by using data on the 'Big Five' personality traits available in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Fixed effects estimates show that the responsiveness of occupational switching to non-cognitive mismatch appears to be at least as large as that for cognitive skill mismatch. Despite their responsiveness, workers appear to have more success improving their cognitive match than their non-cognitive match. |

Unemployment Duration and the Personalities of Young Adult Workers Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics 79 (April 2019): 1-11. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804318302325 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits; Unemployment Duration As in many countries, young adult workers in the United States have experienced tremendous employment volatility in recent years. In this paper, we examine the role personality plays in determining the duration of unemployment among young adults in the United States between 2008 and 2015. Evidence from estimation of a Competing Risks Model shows that when faced with unemployment, conscientious individuals are significantly more likely to find employment. Individuals scoring higher in neuroticism are more likely to leave the workforce and less likely to go back to school, while more agreeable individuals are more likely to go back to school. Because personality remains malleable for young adults, these results have implications for the literature related to job-search behavior as well as for educational and job-training programs. |
