1.	The Career Paths Less (or More) Traveled: A Sequence Analysis of IT Career Histories, Mobility Patterns, and Career Success MIS Quarterly 36, 2 (2012): 427-452. Also: https://misq.umn.edu/the-career-paths-less-or-more-traveled-a-sequence-analysis-of-it-career-histories-mobility-patterns-and-career-success.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Minnesota Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Occupational Status; Occupations Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the objective career histories, mobility patterns, and career success of 500 individuals, drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), who had worked in the information technology workforce. Sequence analysis of career histories shows that careers of the IT workforce are more diverse than the traditional view of a dual IT career path (technical versus managerial). This study reveals a new career typology comprising three broad, distinct paths: IT careers; professional labor market (PLM) careers; and secondary labor market (SLM) careers. Of the 500 individuals in the IT workforce, 173 individuals pursued IT careers while the remaining 327 individuals left IT for other high-status non-IT professional jobs in PLM or lower-status, non-IT jobs in SLM careers. Findings of this study contribute to refining the concept of "boundaryless" careers. By tracing the diverse trajectories of career mobility, we enrich our understanding of how individuals construct boundaryless careers that span not only organizational but also occupational boundaries. Career success did not differ in terms of average pay for individuals in IT and PLM careers. By contrast, individuals in SLM careers attained the lowest pay. We conclude this study with implications for future research and for the management of IT professionals' careers.

Screening for Commitment: The Effect of Maternity Leave Use on Wages Working Paper, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, September 2008 Also: http://www.economics.uiuc.edu/docs/seminars/Screening-for-Commitment-The-Effect-of-Maternity-Leave-Use-on-Wages.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Minnesota Keyword(s): Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); Human Capital; Leave, Family or Maternity/Paternity; Wage Growth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines whether firms use participation in work-family policies to screen for a worker's level of job commitment, an unobservable characteristic that affects productivity. We identify two conditions that differentiate screening from human capital explanations, and test whether the wage penalty associated with usage varies with these conditions. Specifically, we propose that the wage growth penalty from policy usage will increase with monitoring costs and with the quality of the screening technology if firms screen based on usage. We test and provide support for these propositions using the NLSY 1979, with paid maternity leave as the work-family policy of interest. We proxy for monitoring costs using a measure of job autonomy and capture a change in the screen's quality with passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

3.	Intergenerational Support and the Life-Cycle Incomes of Parents and Children: Co-Residence and Interhousehold Financial Transfers Working Paper, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 1990 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men Publisher: University of Minnesota Keyword(s): Family Resources; Family Structure; Financial Assistance; Household Structure; Income; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Life Cycle Research; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Pairs (also see Siblings); Residence; Sons; Transfers, Financial; Transfers, Parental; Transfers, Private; Transfers, Public Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the relationship between generations with particular attention to the two principal mechanisms by which parents provide resource to their young adult offspring--shared residence and financial transfers to offspring living apart. The analysis made use of parent-son pairs from the NLS of Young Men, Older Men, and Mature Women. These data indicate that: (1) intergenerational co-residence and interhousehold transfers are at least as important as governmental transfers in providing support for young adults, with 20 percent of adult men in their 20s receiving one or another form of parental support; (2) there are substantial differences by race in the type of intergenerational support with black men ages 18-31 appearing twice as likely as white men to reside with at least one parent and half as likely as white men to receive financial transfers when residing apart from their parents. Econometric analysis of the choices between shared residence and non-coresidence cum financial transfers were supportive of the theoretical framework linking these two transfer methods and strongly rejected aggregation of co-residence and interhousehold financial transfers as perfect substitutes. They also suggested that failure to control for unobserved permanent differences across households can lead to serious biases; in particular the obscuring of the important role of parental resources in determining the incidence of transfers. Fixed effects logit estimates indicated that for given parental incomes, young men are less likely to both co-reside with parents and to receive financial transfers while residing apart the higher are their current earnings. Moreover, young adults attending school are more likely to reside with parents but are less likely to receive aid while living elsewhere; in contrast, their unemployment induces both co-residence and financial transfers. Parental income, for given offspring earnings and activities, also matters. Parents with higher incomes are more likely to provide transfers to children via separate residence combined with remittances than they are to co-reside with children. Indeed, among black families in which the mother has less than eight years of schooling, increases in income (net of governmental transfers) reduce significantly the likelihood that parents reside with their adult sons. For mothers with schooling levels above eight years, however, the authors could explain all of the differences in the life-cycle patterns of intergenerational co-residence choices of black and white families based on the life-cycle differences in the earnings of both generations and the investment decisions and employment experiences of the younger generation.
