Experimentation and Job Choice Journal of Labor Economics 30,2 (April 2012): 333-366. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/663356 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Occupational Choice; Occupations; Skills; Wage Growth In this article, we examine optimal job choices when jobs differ in the rate at which they reveal information about workers’ skills. We then analyze how the optimal level of experimentation changes over a worker’s career and characterize job transitions and wage growth over the life cycle. Using the Dictionary of Occupational Titles merged with the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we then construct an index of how much information different occupations reveal about workers’ skills and document patterns of occupational choice and wage growth that are consistent with a trade-off between information and wages. |
