The Quality-Adjusted Cyclical Price of Labor Journal of Labor Economics 41:S1 (1 October 2023) S13-S59. Also: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/726701 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Job Separation/Loss; Labor Economics; Labor User Cost; Unemployment; Wage Levels; Wages; Wages, Starting We estimate cyclicality in labor's user cost allowing for cyclical fluctuations in the quality of worker-firm matches and wages that are smoothed within employment matches. To do so, we exploit a match's long-run wage to control for its quality. Using 1980-2019 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data, we identify three channels by which recessions affect user cost: they lower the new-hire wage and wages going forward in the match, but they also result in higher subsequent separations. We find that labor's user cost is highly procyclical, increasing by more than 4% for a 1 percentage point decline in unemployment. |
