This paper uses the National Longitudinal Survey data set to examine the role of income uncertainty in explaining the likelihood of health insurance coverage among individuals. After controlling for a number of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors, the results suggest that individuals who face greater income uncertainty are less likely to have health insurance coverage. Additionally, the likelihood of health insurance coverage increases with income and educational attainment.

2.	Do Unions Reduce the Wage Penalty Experienced by Obese Women? Economics Bulletin 36,1 (2016): 281-290. Also: http://econpapers.repec.org/article/eblecbull/eb-14-00865.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Economics Bulletin Keyword(s): Collective Bargaining; Obesity; Unions; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty; Weight Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Unions have been shown to reduce wage inequality, thus resulting in higher wages for certain disadvantaged groups. Overweight individuals, especially women, generally receive lower wages than thinner individuals with similar socioeconomic characteristics. This paper demonstrates that union wage protection extends to overweight women in the U.S. Specifically, obese women do not experience a wage penalty when employed in jobs covered by collective bargaining.

3.	Does the Presence of Neighborhood Gang Affect Youth Criminal Behavior? Economics Bulletin 39,3 (2019): 2102-2109. Also: http://www.accessecon.com/pubs/eb/default.aspx?topic=Abstract&PaperID=EB-18-00567 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Economics Bulletin Keyword(s): Delinquency/Gang Activity; Modeling, OLS; Neighborhood Effects; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Studies show that neighborhood characteristics explain behavior in an important way. However, studies that consider neighborhood effects mostly explore family characteristics and neighborhood socioeconomic status. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between a social institution in the neighborhood and youth behavior by examining whether the presence of neighborhood gangs affect youth delinquency and substance use. We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) and employ Ordinary Least squares (OLS) and Fixed Effects (FE) specification to estimate the effect of the presence of neighborhood gang on substance use and delinquency. We find that after accounting for individual heterogeneity, the presence of neighborhood gangs in a youth's neighborhood increases the substance use index by 0.2 units but has no statistically significant effect on youth delinquency.

4.	How do firms interpret a job loss? Evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth NLSY79 Economics Bulletin 29,2 (19 May 2009):1086-1100 Also: http://www.accessecon.com/Pubs/EB/2009/Volume29/EB-09-V29-I2-P55.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Economics Bulletin Keyword(s): Displaced Workers; Job Turnover; Layoffs; Modeling, Probit Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Empirical studies in the job displacement literature have found that workers face significant earnings losses on average, when they are permanently displaced from jobs. Previous research also suggests that the costliness of job loss varies widely. Gibbons and Katz (1991) develop and test a theoretical model in which layoffs provide the market with information concerning the quality of laid off workers, while plant and firm closings do not. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this paper tests a model that describes how firms can use additional information about job losses to determine worker quality. The results suggest that workers face the most stigma from very recent and uncommon job losses.

5.	Are Blondes Really Dumb? Economics Bulletin 36,1 (2016): 401-410. Also: http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pl?ft=blondes Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Economics Bulletin Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); I.Q.; Physical Characteristics Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Discrimination based on appearance has serious economic consequences. Women with blonde hair are often considered beautiful, but dumb, which is a potentially harmful stereotype since many employers seek intelligent workers. Using the NLSY79, a large nationally representative survey tracking young baby boomers, this research analyzes the IQ of white women and men according to hair color. Blonde women have a higher mean IQ than women with brown, red and black hair. Blondes are more likely classified as geniuses and less likely to have extremely low IQ than women with other hair colors, suggesting the dumb blonde stereotype is a myth.
