While consistent with Adam Smith's behavioural conjecture, this could simply reflect sorting across workers or firms. In response we successively control for a risk proxy, for worker fixed effects and for worker with employer match fixed effects. No previous examination has controlled for such fixed effects or examined US survey data. The estimates indicate that injury risk increases substantially when blue-collar (manual) workers become paid by piece rates and bonuses.

We find that a mother's attitudes have a statistically significant effect on those of her children. Furthermore, we find a strong association between the attitudes of sons in their youth and their wives' labour supply as adults. For daughters, the association between their own attitudes and adult work outcomes is weaker and seems to operate through the educational channel. Our findings indicate that cultural transmission contributes to heterogeneity in the labour supply of women.

3.	Does Unemployment Cause Future Unemployment? Definitions, Questions and Answers from a Continuous Time Model of Heterogeneity and State Dependence Economica 47,187 (August 1980): 247-283. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2553150 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Heterogeneity; Job Search; Markov chain / Markov model; Research Methodology; Statistical Analysis; Unemployment; Work History This paper presents statistical methods for testing for the presence of true state dependence. Methods used are based on extensions of existing models for continuous-time discrete-state Markov processes. For this paper a new model with general forms of state dependence is developed. Four main types of structural dependence are examined: Markov dependence, occurrence dependence, duration dependence, and lagged duration dependence.

4.	Manufacturing Wages and Imports: Evidence from the NLSY Economica 75,298 (May 2008): 259-279. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-0335.2007.00591.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Job Status; Wages; White Collar Jobs This paper analyses the effect of imports on US manufacturing wages using the NLSY79 data-set, estimating differential impacts on blue-and white-collar wages. I find that rising imports put downward pressure on wages between 1979 and 1988. This correlation holds for both white- and blue-collar workers, with a somewhat stronger impact on the latter group. Evidence suggests that imports from low-wage countries are responsible for the negative relationship between imports and wages, but only for blue-collar wages. A one-percentage-point increase in the low-wage import share is associated with a 2.8% decline in blue-collar wages.

5.	Does Rosie Like Riveting? Male and Female Occupational Choices Economica published online (16 September 2021): DOI: 10.1111/ecca.12390. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecca.12390 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): British Household Panel Survey (BHPS); Gender Differences; Job Satisfaction; Occupational Choice; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupational Segregation; Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS); Wage Gap Occupational segregation and pay gaps by gender remain large, while many of the constraints traditionally believed to be responsible for these gaps seem to have weakened over time. We explore the possibility that women and men have different tastes for the content of the work that they do. We relate job satisfaction and job mobility to measures that proxy for the content of the work in an occupation, which we label 'people', 'brains' and 'brawn'. The results suggest that women value jobs high on 'people' content and low on 'brawn'. Men care about job content in a similar fashion, but have much weaker preferences. High school students show similar preferences in a discrete choice experiment and indicate that they make their choices based mainly on preferences for the work itself. We argue that the more pronounced preferences of women can account for occupational sorting, which often leads them into careers with large pay penalties for interruptions due to childbearing.

Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecca.12088/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Cognitive Ability; Life Course; Risk-Taking We analyse how age and cognitive skills are related to risk tolerance among respondents to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth between 1993 and 2006. Older individuals display lower risk tolerance than younger individuals, though as the panel ages from their early thirties to their mid-forties, differences in risk tolerance between the oldest and youngest individuals narrow, while panel-average risk tolerance declines. In contrast to other studies, we find that cognitive skill measured during respondents' teenage years is related to risk tolerance in a non-linear fashion, where respondents with the lowest and highest skills reveal the greatest risk tolerance.

Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2553681 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Bias Decomposition; Earnings; Fathers, Influence; Husbands, Income; Mothers, Education; Schooling This study provides a framework for estimating the differential impact of a woman's mother and father on marriage and work. Using own earnings and husband's earnings as available approximations for these two aspects of feminine success, the relative effects of the parents are estimated. In regard to schooling and husband's income, evidence shows that women are more strongly influenced by their mothers' education than their fathers'; however, the reverse is true for daughters' earning capacity.
