This study compares the wage equation in Korea to those in other countries, focusing on the wage returns to adult education and training (AET) participation. It is found that the wage compensation structure in Korea is associated mainly with job characteristics such as tenure and workplace size...

Having a child can have a heavy toll on parents' earnings, especially in the first years after childbirth, with mothers often being more affected than fathers. This is particularly true in the three Baltic states, with relatively generous parental leave benefits compared to the EU and norms...

The model nests the standard job ladder and stock-flow models as special cases, while remaining analytically tractable and easy to estimate from standard panel data sets. The...

The present study contributes to the limited literature on labor mobility in India using the India Human Development Survey panel data for the years 2004-2005 and 2011-2012. We use three different tools, viz., transition matrices, multinomial logistic regression, and wage regressions for this...
