Many studies have examined the impact of turnover on wages, but little empirical work has examined whether past mobility behavior affects current wage offers. The effect of voluntary mobility on subsequent wages is analyzed to discover if there are wage penalties associated with repeated mobility. To reduce the endogeneity between wages and voluntary mobility, the sample is restricted to young males on their first job following a permanent layoff. Using respondents from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, ordinary least squares wage equations from the layoff sample are compared to those from a sample of workers who remained employed. The evidence shows that voluntary mobility differentially affects the wage equations of the restricted and the unrestricted samples. [ABI/Inform] |
