Job Change Patterns and the Wages of Young Men
利用全国青年纵向调查数据，区分三种工作流动模型，发现持续流动的工人工资路径低于流动较少的工人，支持“经验品”模型。
This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to distinguish empirically between mover-stayer, "search good, " and "experience good" models of job mobility. We estimate wage models in which the pattern of overall job mobility affects both the level and tenure slope of the log-wage path. After controlling for the correlation between mobility patterns and time-constant person- and job-specific unobservables, we find that workers who undergo persistent mobility have lower log-wage paths than less mobile workers. This finding is consistent with models in which job mobility is driven by time-varying unobservables, such as "experience good" models, where changes in perceived match quality cause turnover. © 1998 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
