Differential Effects of Graduating during a Recession across Gender and Race IZA Journal of Labor Economics 4,23 (December 2015): DOI: 10.1186/s40172-015-0040-6. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40172-015-0040-6 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Economic Changes/Recession; Gender Differences; Geocoded Data; High School Completion/Graduates; Modeling, Instrumental Variables; Racial Differences; State-Level Data/Policy; Unemployment Rate; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study examines the differential effects of the unemployment rate at labor market entry, defined as the time of leaving school, on subsequent wages across gender and race using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79. Results suggest that the negative effect of a recession at entry on wages is weaker for women. The differences between blacks and whites are not statistically significant for both genders. These results are robust to controlling for the endogenous timing and location of entry, using an instrumental variable based on the predicted year of graduation and the state of residence at age 14. |
