The Effect of Match Quality and Specific Experience on Career Decisions and Wage Growth Labour Economics 17,2 (April 2010): 407-423. Also: http://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/labeco/v17y2010i2p407-423.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Firms; Human Capital; Mobility, Occupational; Modeling; Occupational Choice; Wage Growth This paper constructs and estimates a career decision model where individuals search for both careers and firms that are a good match for their idiosyncratic skills using the NLSY79. It departs from previous papers in that career mobility decisions and participation decisions are explicitly modeled. I find substantial returns to career-specific experience. However, college graduates' wage grows little through career-match upgrading, which results in a lower incidence of career changes than high school graduates. The finding suggests that college graduates learn about their suitable careers before they enter a labor market. |
