Job Displacement and Earnings Losses: The Role of Joblessness
研究发现，大规模裁员中失业的工人其收入损失程度取决于失业期的长短；无失业或短期失业者平均无损失，长期失业者则遭受持续的大幅收入损失。
A large literature finds that workers displaced in mass layoffs experience persistent earnings losses. We find that the earnings penalty from job displacement is mediated by the length of the jobless spell after displacement. Workers who experience little or no joblessness suffer no losses on average; those who experience a prolonged period of joblessness experience large, persistent earnings losses. Job movers who experience joblessness tend to move to lower-paying firms, a phenomenon that informs our understanding of the mechanisms that generate earnings losses. We also find that jobless duration predicts earnings outcomes for separators generally, not only displaced workers.
