Youth Labor Markets in the U.S : Shopping Around vs. Staying Put

Neumark, David - 1998

The need for school-to-work programs or other means of increasing early job market stability is predicated on the view that the chaotic' nature of youth labor markets in the U.S. is costly because workers drift from one job to another without developing skills, behavior, or other characteristics...

Labor Market Information and Wage Differentials by Race and Sex

Neumark, David - 1998

This paper attempts to test whether information problems in labor markets can explain why minority or female workers … receive. However, more complex models of statistical discrimination suggest that worse labor market information about a … particular group can generate lower wages for that group. A test of the quality of labor market information suggests that …

Age Discrimination Laws and Labor Market Efficiency

Neumark, David - 1997

In Lazear's (1979) model of efficient long-term incentive contracts, employers impose involuntary retirement based on age. This model implies that age discrimination laws, which bar involuntary terminations based on age, discourage the use of such contracts and reduce efficiency. Alternatively,...

Order from Chaos? The Effects of Early Labor Market Experiences on Adult Labor Market Outcomes

Gardecki, Rosella - 1997

This paper examines the consequences of initial periods of churning,' floundering about,' or mobility' in the labor market to help assess whether faster transitions to stable employment relationships--such as those envisioned by advocates of school-to-work programs--would be likely to lead to...

Job Stability in the United States

Diebold, Francis X. - 1994

Two key attributes of a job are its wage and its duration. Much has been made of changes in the wage distribution in the 1980s, but little attention has been given to job durations since Hall (1982). We fill this void by examining the temporal evolution of job retention rates in U.S. labor...

Minimum Wage Effects on Employment and School Enrollment

Neumark, David - 1994

We argue in this paper that the focus on employment effects in recent studies of minimum wages ignores an important interaction between schooling, employment, and the minimum wage. To study these linkages, we estimate a conditional logit model of employment and enrollment outcomes for teenagers...

Minimum Wage Effects and Low-Wage Labor Markets : A Disequilibrium Approach

Neumark, David - 1994

We present a new approach to estimating minimum wage effects on employment. In contrast to most previous research, we account for the possibility that the relationship between minimum wages and employment depends on the magnitude of the minimum wage relative to the equilibrium wage in the...

Employment Effects of Minimum and Subminimum Wages : Reply to Card, Katz and Krueger

Neumark, David - 1993

In Neumark and Wascher (1992), we present findings supporting the earlier consensus that minimum wages reduce employment for teens and young adults, with elasticities in the range -0.1 to -0.2. In addition, we find that subminimum wages moderate these disemployment effects. Card, Katz and...

Evidence on Employment Effects of Minimum Wages and Subminimum Wage Provisions From Panel Data on State Minimum Wage Laws

Neumark, David - 1991

We construct a panel data set on state-level minimum wage laws and economic conditions to reevaluate existing evidence on minimum wage effects on employment, most of which comes from time-series data. Our estimates of the elasticities of teen and young-adult employment-to-population ratios fall...

U.S. Job Flows and the China Shock

Asquith, Brian J. - 2017

International trade exposure affects job creation and destruction along the intensive margin (job flows due to expansions and contractions of firms' employment) as well as along the extensive margin (job flows due to births and deaths of firms). This paper uses 1992-2011 employment data from the...
