{"title":"Who Benefits From Attending Effective High Schools?","authors":"C. Jackson, Sebastián Kiguel, Shanette C. Porter, J. Easton","doi":"10.1086/724568","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724568","url":null,"abstract":"We estimate the longer-run effects of attending an effective high school (one that improves a combination of test scores, survey measures of socio-emotional development, and behaviors in 9th grade) for students who are more versus less educationally advantaged (i.e., likely to attain more years of education based on 8th-grade characteristics). All students benefit from attending effective schools, but the least advantaged students experience larger improvements in high-school graduation, college going, and school-based arrests. This heterogeneity is not solely due to less-advantaged groups being marginal for particular outcomes. Commonly used test-score value-added understates the long-run importance of effective schools, particularly for less-advantaged populations. Patterns suggest this partly reflects less-advantaged students being relatively more responsive to non-test-score dimensions of school quality. ∗Jackson: kirabo-jackson@northwestern.edu.

Using an innovative experiment where online daters are recruited to rate profiles with randomly assigned age, incentivized with customized advice based on their ratings, I find a causal negative impact of age on women’s marriage market value. For every year a woman ages, she must earn $7,000 more annually to remain equally attractive to potential partners. This penalty is driven entirely by men who have no children and are aware of the age–fertility tradeoff, demonstrating the connection to fecundity.","PeriodicalId":48308,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Labor Economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42746984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employ a novel data set of robot shipments by destination industry and robot application (specified task) in quantity and unit values. These features allow us to use an identification strategy leveraging the heterogeneous application of robots across industries and heterogeneous price changes across applications. For example, the price drop of the welding robot relative to the assembling robot induced faster adoption of robots in the automobile industry that intensively uses welding processes than in the electric machine industry that intensively uses assembling processes. Our industrial-level and commuting zone-level analyses both indicate that the decline of robot prices increased the number of robots as well as employment, suggesting that robots and labor are gross complementary in the production process.

We use unique and detailed register data on victimizations and monthly labor market outcomes from the Netherlands and estimate event study designs to assess short- and long-term effects of criminal victimization.

We show using understudied measures from labor market surveys that strikers also experienced worse outcomes after 1981. Event study evidence using the PSID suggests that strikers enjoyed 5-10 percent wage gains prior to the 1980s, but flat wage changes thereafter. Additional analysis of collective bargaining agreements and person-level data from the SIPP and CPS reinforce the finding that strikes since the 1980s have not been associated with increases in wages, hours, or benefits. These findings are consistent with decreased strike effectiveness, perhaps due to employers’ higher propensity to hire strike replacements, or with more negative selection into “defensive” strikes that do not allow large pay increases.","PeriodicalId":48308,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Labor Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41501730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Firm Productivity, Wages, and Sorting","authors":"B. Lochner, Bastian Schulz","doi":"10.1086/722564","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/722564","url":null,"abstract":"Increasing wage inequality is associated with changes in the degree of labor market sorting, i.e. the allocation of workers to firms. To measure sorting, we propose a new method which disentangles the respective contributions of worker and firm heterogeneity to wage inequality. Inspired by sorting theory, we infer firm productivity from estimating firm-level production functions, taking into account that worker ability and firm productivity may interact at the match level. Using German data, we find that highly productive firms display low labor shares, dominate concentrated markets, and pay lower wages than less productive firms. Sorting is positive, but lower than what wage-based measures suggest. It increases over time, driven by new matches between low-productivity firms and low-ability workers. At the top, sorting decreases, reflected in worker transitions away from high-productivity firms that pay relatively low wages. We discuss implications of our findings for the interpretation of increasing wage inequality. Zusammenfassung Wachsende Lohnungleichheit geht mit Veränderungen der Allokation von Arbeitnehmern zu Arbeitgebern im Arbeitsmarkt einher. Dies spiegelt sich auch in einem steigenden Sortierungsgrad des Arbeitsmarkts wider. Wir entwickeln eine neue Methode zur Messung dieses Sortierungsgrades, welche die jeweiligen Beiträge von Arbeitnehmerund Arbeitgeberheterogenität zur Lohnungleichheit entflechtet. Inspiriert von theoretischen Modellen der Arbeitsmarktsortierung leiten wir die Produktivität der arbeitgebenden Unternehmen aus Schätzungen von Produktionsfunktionen auf der Firmenebene ab. Wir berücksichtigen dabei insbesondere, dass die Firmenproduktivität auf der Matchebene mit der Leistungsfähigkeit der einzelnen Arbeitnehmer interagieren könnte. Anhand deutscher Daten beobachten wir, dass hochproduktive Firmen niedrige Lohnquoten aufweisen, in konzentrierten Märkten operieren und geringere Löhne zahlen als weniger produktive Firmen. Der Sortierungsgrad ist positiv aber niedriger als lohnbasierte Maße nahelegen. Er steigt mit der Zeit, getrieben durch neue Matches zwischen relativ unproduktiven Firmen und weniger leistungsfähigen Arbeitnehmern. An der Spitze geht der Sortierungsgrad zurück, was sich darin widerspiegelt, dass Arbeitnehmer die produktivsten Firmen, die relativ geringe Löhne zahlen, verlassen. Wir diskutieren Implikationen unserer Ergebnisse für die Interpretation steigender Lohnungleichheit.
