The National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience: Past and Future Uses to Study Labor Market Policy Questions Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 4 (1984): 428-438 Cohort(s): NLS General, NLSY79 Publisher: Duncker & Humblot GmbH Keyword(s): Earnings; Labor Market Surveys; Labor Supply; Life Cycle Research; Longitudinal Data Sets; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS Description; Unemployment; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors discuss past and possible future uses of the NLS panels with particular attention to the implications of NLS-based research for policy-making. The NLS consists of five separate longitudinal data-bases covering distinct segments of the labor force, each cohort being selected as representative of a period in the life-cycle when people are likely to undergo a particular labor market transition. The value of the longitudinal nature of this data is emphasized in discussions of accumulated research on labor supply, unemployment, and wage and earnings differentials. Future research uses for all five cohorts are outlined with emphasis on dynamic modeling and the redefining of research problems as a result of recent changes in socioeconomic conditions. A discussion of the history and institutional context of the NLS is included, as is a description of the data and tapes. Appended tables display survey years and type of interview for each panel, as well as NLSY cohort variables and a summary of research questions explored to date using NLS data. |
