Evidence on Adverse Selection and Establishment Size in the Labor Market Industrial and Labor Relations Review 56,1 (October 2002): 84-96. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3270650 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Displaced Workers; Labor Market Demographics; Layoffs; Wage Effects A commonly suggested explanation for the finding that laid-off workers have greater mean post-displacement earnings losses than workers who lose their jobs through plant closings is that the former are of lower quality than the latter. But there is also an alternative explanation for this result: laid-off workers suffer larger earnings losses because, as a group, they have more to lose in the first place, having been displaced from larger, higher-wage establishments. An analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth confirms this hypothesis. Accounting for establishment size removes virtually all of the difference in wage losses from the two groups of displaced workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
