Career Paths and Quit Decisions: Evidence from Teaching
检验了后期职业机会是否影响教师离职决策，利用纽约州数据估计离散时间logit风险模型，发现行政岗位机会和薪酬溢价对离职有影响但效应较小。
Conventional models predict that workers consider employment opportunities and monetary rewards expected over their lifetimes when making current period decisions such as whether to quit a job. This article tests the hypothesis that later career opportunities affect quit decisions by examining the relationship between teaching and school administration. Evidence on the extent to which administrative positions are available to teachers, and the salary premia associated with them, is presented. Discrete time logit-hazard models of teacher quits, estimated using data from New York State, provide some support for the hypothesis, though the magnitudes of the estimated effects are small.
