An Estimate of a Sectoral Model of Labor Mobility Working Paper RR# 88-32, C. V. Starr Center of Applied Economics, New York University, 1988. Also: http://www.econ.nyu.edu/cvstarr/working/1988/RR88-32.pdf Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: C. V. Starr Center of Applied Economics Keyword(s): Industrial Sector; Mobility; Mobility, Labor Market; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper develops a model of sectoral labor mobility and tests its main implications. The model nests two distinct hypotheses on the origin of mobility: (a) sectoral shocks, and (b) worker-employer mismatch. The relative importance of each hypothesis is estimated; it was found that the bulk of labor mobility is caused by mismatch rather than by sectoral shift. |

Labor Mobility and Wages In: Studies in Labor Markets. S. Rosen, ed. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1981 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Income Dynamics/Shocks; Job Tenure; Life Cycle Research; Mobility; Mobility, Interfirm; Schooling; Wages; Work Experience; Work History The authors explore the implications of human capital and search behavior for both the interpersonal and life cycle structure of interfirm labor mobility. The economic hypothesis which motivates the analysis is that individual differences in firm-specific complementarities and related skill acquisitions produce differences in mobility behavior and in the relation between job tenure, wages, and mobility. |
