Reputation, Voluntary Mobility and Wages
研究自愿跳槽对后续工资的影响,通过限制样本为被永久解雇后首次就业的年轻男性来减少内生性,发现自愿流动对工资方程的影响在受限样本与未受限样本中不同。
This study analyzes the effect of voluntary mobility on subsequent wages to discover if there are wage penalties associated with repeated mobility. To reduce the endogeneity between wages and voluntary mobility, the sample is restricted to young males on their first job following a permanent layoff. Using respondents from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, ordinary least squares wage equations from the layoff sample are compared to those from a sample of workers who remained employed. The evidence shows that voluntary mobility differentially affects the wage equations of the restricted and the unrestricted samples. Copyright 1993 by MIT Press.
