The Effect of Match Quality and Specific Experience on Career Decisions and Wage Growth Presented: New York, NY, Society of Labor Economists Annual Meeting, May 2008. Also: http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/839.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Opinion Research Center - NORC Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Graduates; High School Completion/Graduates; Mobility, Labor Market; Modeling; Wage Growth This paper constructs and estimates a career decision model where individuals search for both career matching and employer matching to understand wage growth and career mobility. Career mobility decisions and participation decisions are explicitly modeled. Findings suggest substantial returns to career-specific experience. However, college graduates' wages grow little through career-match upgrading, which results in a lower incidence of career changes than high school graduates. The finding suggests that college graduates learn about their suitable careers before they enter a labor market. The paper uses NLSY79 information on white males from the cross-sectional sample only. |
