CARLINER, GEOFFREY Measurement Error and the Estimation of Labor Supply Functions from Panel Data Mimeo, University of Western Ontario, [N.D.] Cohort(s): Older Men ID Number: 361 Publisher: unknown Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A model in which the household's utility depends on the level of the composite good produced in each period with inputs of husband's and wife's home time and market goods is developed. Given the full wealth budget constraint, two wage elasticities are derived. The elasticity of an individual's labor supply with respect to a one period change in his own wage includes substitution in consumption across periods, substitution of his home time for other inputs to household production within the period, and a small wealth effect. The labor supply elasticity with respect to a permanent change in the wage in all periods includes only within period substitution and a large wealth effect. Thus the temporary elasticity is predicted to be more positive than the permanent wage elasticity, and presumably larger than zero. FRANTZ, ROGER SCOTT Internal-External Locus of Control and Labor Market Performance: Empirical Evidence Using Longitudinal Survey Data Psychology: A Journal of Human Behavior 17,3 (Fall 1980): 23-29 Cohort(s): Young Men ID Number: 700 Publisher: unknown This article examined the effects of several personal and labor market characteristics of the individual on hourly wages and feelings of locus of control, as measured by an abbreviated version of Rotter's internal-external locus of control scale. Responses from 976 young men, taken from the Young Men's cohort of the NLS, were studied. Internal-external control was found to affect hourly wages independent of other factors such as educational attainment, labor market experience, race, and collective bargaining affiliation. Internal-external locus of control is affected by labor market success, race, and city size. [(c)APA] FREEMAN, RICHARD B. Exit-Voice Tradeoff in the Labor Market: Unionism, Job Tenure, Quits and Separations Mimeo, Harvard University, 1977 Cohort(s): Older Men ID Number: 714 Publisher: Harvard University Press Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the effect of trade unionism on the exit behavior of workers in the context of Hirschman's exit-voice dichotomy. Unionism is expected to reduce quits and permanent separations and raise job tenure by providing a "voice" alternative to exit when workers are dissatisfied with conditions. Empirical evidence supports this contention, showing significantly lower exit for unionists in several large data tapes. It is argued that the grievance system plays a major role in the reduction in exit and that the reduction lowers cost and raises productivity. HILLS, STEPHEN M. Longitudinal Analyses of Training Processes in the United States Presented: Urbana, IL, Rupert P. Evans Symposium on Vocational Education, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Men ID Number: 988 Publisher: unknown Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Longitudinal data provide a clearer picture of the decentralized training system in the U.S. Flows of youth can be partitioned into various categories of training and work experience immediately prior to entering the work force. Groups can be identified which are absorbed quite slowly into paid employment. Subsequent to entering the work world, training records are accurately compiled through longitudinal files yielding better information on the complexity of training processes and the benefits associated with various combinations of training methods. Finally, longitudinal records of work experience permit analysis of irregular working patterns and allow researchers to assess the costs associated with temporary labor force withdrawal. Each of these uses of longitudinal data has been illustrated through the studies that are summarized in this report. KOSHAL, RAJINDAR Logit Analysis for Determinants of Higher Education Presented: New Delhi, India, International Statistical Conference, December 1977 Cohort(s): Older Men ID Number: 1261 Publisher: unknown Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using logit analysis of the NLS Men's cohort, the author shows that opportunity cost, financial aid and quality of high school attended are important variables in determining the demand for higher education in the United States. Further analysis appears to be needed to explore the importance of other factors in determining their influence upon the demand for higher education in the United States. MYKEREZI, ELTON MARKO, MONIKA AULTMAN, STEPHEN Impact of Perceived Race Discrimination in the Labor Market on the Criminal Activity of African American Youth Working Paper, Department of Applied Economics, University of Minnesota, November 2008 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 6372 Publisher: Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We study the impact that perceived race discrimination in the labor market has on the subsequent criminal activity of young African Americans using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979). Results indicate that perceived discrimination in the labor market yields sizable increases in the incidence and intensity of property crimes among African American men. We find no evidence of an impact on violent crimes for men or on crime in general for women. These results are robust to different assumptions regarding respondent refusals to self report crime and other empirical specification issues. OKUMURA, TSUNAO USUI, EMIKO Do Parents' Social Skills Influence Their Children's Sociability? Working Paper, School of Economics, Nagoya University, 2009 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 ID Number: 6370 Publisher: Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A number of studies have found that social skills are important determinants of labor-market outcomes, including occupation and wages. This paper examines the causal effect of the parent's social skills on the children's sociability, using the U.S. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). To resolve the problem that national surveys often lack detailed information on parents, we use occupational characteristics from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) to proxy for parental skills. By utilizing various measures of social skills, we find that parents' social skills have a positive effect on children's sociability along gender lines. PARNES, HERBERT S. Improved Job Information: Its Impact on Long Run Labor Market Experience Presented: Philadelphia PA, Conference on Improving Labor Market Information for Youths, 1974 Cohort(s): Young Men ID Number: 1840 Publisher: unknown Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The concept of "job information" is explored in terms of the extent to which young workers have adequate labor market knowledge and the factors that appear to be related to variations therein. Evidence is presented on the relationship between how much male youth know about the labor market at one point in time and the wages and occupational assignments they are subsequently able to command.
