My dissertation's primary contribution is to develop an empirical index to capture the yet unexplored concept of industry specificity and to identify it as a potential source of frictions generating downward pressure on wages in low-wage labor markets. The empirical and theoretical insights of my work help understand the economic consequences of industry mobility and occupational transferability.
