It draws on data from the 1979 Department of Defense Survey of Personnel Entering Military Service and from the 1979 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Force Behavior, Youth Survey. The authors base their empirical analysis on hypotheses derived from the theories of investment in human capital and career choice, and on the theory of recruiter behavior. They find that seniors and graduates differ substantially in the empirical determinants of their enlistment decisions; education of their enlistment decisions; education expectations play a major role in enlistment behavior; and a graduate's enlistment probability is much less in areas with a fairly high proportion of seniors and recent graduates, whereas a senior's enlistment probability is unaffected. Keywords include: Recruiting, Enlisted personnel, and Students.","PeriodicalId":342072,"journal":{"name":"Army Manpower Economics","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132528950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research reported here draws on two disparate analyses. The first is an evaluation of the 1978 Selected Reserve Reenlistment Bonus Test undertaken in response to a 1977 congressional authorization. This test focuses on the influence of pay and other factors on the Reserve reenlistment decision. The second analyses attrition behavior of nonprior service reservists who separate from the Reserves prior to completition of their enlisted term. The Gates Commission failed to anticipate the rise in first term attrition during the AVF for both Active and Reserves. This increase in attrition raised accession requirments. Recognition of this effect would probably have resulted in a recommendation to increase levels of pay beyond the original recommended increases and presumably could have forestalled some of the decline. Section I focuses on the reserve reenlistment decision while Section II centers on the attrition decision. Each is divided into several subsections describing the data base, the theoretical framework for the analysis, and the empirical results. Section III presents concluding remarks.","PeriodicalId":342072,"journal":{"name":"Army Manpower Economics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115849662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
