Effect of Work Interruptions on Subsequent Earnings Ph.D. Dissertation, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, April 1987 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Selectivity Bias/Selection Bias; Skill Depreciation; Wages; Work Reentry Previous empirical findings suggest that earnings depreciate during periods of non-employment and following reentry, rebound and make up in large part for their initial decline. An alternative interpretation is that these results are driven by sample selection bias. Analysis of the NLS of Young Women indicates that individuals who remain employed for substantial periods after reentry do not experience wage depreciation. Those who re-exit the labor force, however, do experience depreciation. In fact, earnings depreciate for only part of the population and the so-called rebound effect is a statistical artifact. |
