The National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience: Past and Future Uses to Study Labor Market Policy Questions Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 4 (1984): 428-438 Cohort(s): NLS General, NLSY79 Publisher: Duncker & Humblot GmbH Keyword(s): Earnings; Labor Market Surveys; Labor Supply; Life Cycle Research; Longitudinal Data Sets; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS Description; Unemployment; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors discuss past and possible future uses of the NLS panels with particular attention to the implications of NLS-based research for policy-making. The NLS consists of five separate longitudinal data-bases covering distinct segments of the labor force, each cohort being selected as representative of a period in the life-cycle when people are likely to undergo a particular labor market transition. The value of the longitudinal nature of this data is emphasized in discussions of accumulated research on labor supply, unemployment, and wage and earnings differentials. Future research uses for all five cohorts are outlined with emphasis on dynamic modeling and the redefining of research problems as a result of recent changes in socioeconomic conditions. A discussion of the history and institutional context of the NLS is included, as is a description of the data and tapes. Appended tables display survey years and type of interview for each panel, as well as NLSY cohort variables and a summary of research questions explored to date using NLS data. |

Cross-National Estimates of the Intergenerational Mobility in Earnings Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 70. Jahrgang, Heft 1/2001, S. 51-58. Also: http://ideas.repec.org/a/diw/diwvjh/70-10-8.html Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Duncker & Humblot GmbH Keyword(s): Cross-national Analysis; Earnings; Fathers and Sons; German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP); Germany, German; Human Capital; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mobility; Modeling; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the similarity in the association between earnings of sons and fathers in Germany and the United States. It relaxes the log-linear functional form imposed in most studies of the intergenerational earnings association. Theory implies the relationship between earnings of fathers and sons could be nonlinear, especially at the tails of the distribution of earnings of fathers. When a more flexible function form is fit to the data, the apparent similarity between Germany and the United States disappears. Relative to mobility in Germany, upward mobility is higher in the United States for sons with the poorest fathers and downward mobility is lower for sons with fathers with high earnings.

Early Career Experiences and Later Career Outcomes: Comparing the United States, France, and Germany Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 70. Jahrgang, Heft 1/2001, S. 31-38. Also: http://ideas.repec.org/a/diw/diwvjh/70-10-5.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Duncker & Humblot GmbH Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Cross-national Analysis; France, French; German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP); Germany, German; Heterogeneity; Human Capital; Labor Market Outcomes; Labor Market, Secondary; Modeling, Mixed Effects Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper explores the links between individuals' early career experiences and their labor market outcomes 5 to 20 years later using data from France, (western) Germany, and the United States. Relative to most of the literature, we consider a large set of measures of men's early career experiences and later career outcomes. Our results differ significantly across countries. Labor market outcomes in Germany are consistent with a dual labor market model. In the case of American workers, either the market learns about unobservable worker characteristics over time or the implicit contracts established at the start of the career are increasingly renegotiated over time. Unobserved heterogeneity in individuals' networks of labor market contacts is consistent with our results for France. These results reflect optimal firm responses to the different institutional environments in each country in the presence of ex ante imperfect information concerning young workers.
