Does Single Parenthood Increase the Probability of Teenage Promiscuity, Drug Use, and Crime? Evidence from Divorce Law Changes Working Paper, Claremont Colleges Working Papers in Economics, November 2002. Also: http://econ.claremontmckenna.edu/papers/2002-23.pdf Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Claremont Colleges Working Paper in Economics Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Alcohol Use; Crime; Deviance; Drug Use; Family Structure; Fathers, Biological; Marital Dissolution; Sexual Activity; Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. There is longstanding evidence that children raised by single parents are more likely to perform poorly in school and partake in 'deviant' behaviors such as smoking, sex, substance use and crime at young ages. However, as of yet there is not widespread evidence or agreement as to whether or not the timing of the marital disruption differentially impacts youth outcomes. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) and the NLSY Young Adult Supplement, we find that the longer the biological father remains in the household the lower the probability that youth engage in sexual activity. In contrast, it is youth whose fathers are never present who are more likely to be convicted of a crime, youth whose fathers leave during adolescence who are more likely to drink alcohol and use illegal drugs and youth whose fathers leave during childhood who are more likely to smoke cigarettes. |

The Effects of an Increase in Minimum Wage on Labor Market Transitions: Evidence from NLSY Working Paper, Department of Economics, Claremont Graduate University, October 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Claremont Colleges Working Paper in Economics Keyword(s): Labor Force Participation; Layoffs; Minimum Wage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study tests the effects of a change in the binding real minimum wage on the likelihoods of hiring and separation. The findings suggest that an increase in the real minimum wage is associated with a reduction in the hiring rates that is mediated by a reduction in the likelihood of separation. The final results are a small and noisy decrease in the likelihood of employment and an increase in the likelihood of layoffs. The findings support an incomplete information model where employers pay a stochastic sunk cost at hiring. |
