Employment Contacts and Minority-White Wage Differences Industrial Relations 35,1 (January 1996): 106-122. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-232X.1996.tb00397.x Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Job Search; Racial Differences; Wages We study effects of job contacts on wages in inner-city Boston in 1989 and in the 1982 NLSY. Race/Hispanicity differences in wages are not explained by an absence of contacts among minority youths. Rather, in the Boston data, lower wages of black youths are explained by lower "returns" to their contacts. In the NLSY there is little evidence of lower return to black youths' contacts, but there is evidence of lower returns to Hispanic youths' contacts. |

Employment Disruptions and Supervisors Industrial Relations 49,1 (January 2010): 116-141. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-232X.2009.00590.x Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Supervisor Characteristics; Unemployment This study estimates the effect of past career disruptions on the probability a worker has supervisory status and responsibility for determining promotions or setting pay, paying particular attention to gender differences. Past unemployment spells are negatively correlated with supervisory status; however, the correlation is economically small. Differences in employment history cannot explain the difference in rates of supervisor status between men and women. |

Does Leaving School in an Economic Downturn Persistently Affect Body Weight? Evidence from Panel Data Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society 55,1 (January 2016): 122-148. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/irel.12128/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Body Mass Index (BMI); Exits; Geocoded Data; Schooling; State-Level Data/Policy; Unemployment Rate, Regional; Weight In this study I test whether leaving school when the state unemployment rate is high persistently affects body weight. Because the time and location of school leaving are potentially endogenous, I predict the economic conditions at school leaving with instruments based on birth date and residence at age 14. My findings show that by age 40 men (women) who left school when the state unemployment rate was high have lower (higher) body weight. |
