Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays in labor economics which are self-contained and can be read independently of the others. The first essay investigates the existence of unemployment hysteresis effect in two different educational levels: high school or lower and college and higher. The study employs a panel analysis of non-stationary in idiosyncratic and common components (PANIC) model to compare the stochastic nature of unemployment in the two groups. The second essay measures the mismatch unemployment in the US economy. It improves an existing model in the literature and creates a mismatch index and measures the unemployment added by the mismatch in the economy over the time. The third essay studies the quit behavior of workers in the US industries and researches the role of nominal industry wages and aggregate wages in workers' quitting decisions.

Book excerpt: The first chapter of the dissertation analyzes family long-term care for elderly in a three-generational setting when the adult children are the primary care providers. The effect of the care provider's own offspring on care arrangements for elderly parents is analyzed. Offsprings impose constraints on the care provider's resources and potentially affects the care provider's bargaining power over siblings on the sharing of parental care responsibilities. These novel perspectives are analyzed by exploiting exogenous variation in the number of births arising from China's One-Child Policy (1979) and empirical results are derived using novel Chinese household data. Having more offspring not only decreases the monetary transfer an adult child makes towards the elderly parent, but also decreases the adult child's share of the total monetary transfer made to elderly parents in the sibling bargaining game. These findings are significant for the rural sub-sample but not for the urban sub-sample, and may be generalized to other developing economies where, in the absence of formal long-term care schemes, the elderly population rely primarily on their adult children for financial support. The second chapter of the dissertation studies the impact of group diversity on classroom performance of college students using a novel dataset of 431 undergraduate students from a well-known private university in the US. The exogenous assignment of groups rules out the troublesome yet common self-selection issue in team literature. Gender and age diversities of a group were found to have significant influence over group and individual performance, while no evidence on racial diversity was established. The empirical results support the presence of knowledge spillover within a group that is composed of members with varying knowledge levels. In addition to diversity, organizational forms of groups were further examined - members of "autonomous" groups receive equal grades on group project while those in "democratic" groups can adopt differentiated point allocation through majority voting, therefore providing a proper mechanism to punish free riders. Using a maximum likelihood treatment effect model to address the endogeneity of group contract choice, a significant and positive correlation was established between the democratic organizational form and group performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To celebrate the centenary of the most radical union in North America - The Industrial Workers of the World - this collection examines radical economics and the labor movement in the 20th Century. The union advocates direct action to raise wages and increase job control, and it envisions the eventual abolition of capitalism and the wage system through the general strike. The contributors to this volume speak both to economists and to those in the labor movement, and point to fruitful ways in which these radical heterodox traditions have engaged and continue to engage each other and with the labor movement. In view of the current crisis of organized labor and the beleaguered state of the working class—phenomena which are global in scope—the book is both timely and important. Representing a significant contribution to the non-mainstream literature on labor economics, the book reactivates a marginalized analytical tradition which can shed a great deal of light on the origins and evolution of the difficulties confronting workers throughout the world. This volume will be of most interest to students and scholars of heterodox economics, those involved with or researching The Industrial Workers of the World, as well as anyone interested in the more radical side of unions, anarchism and labor organizations in an economic context.

Book excerpt: The three essays of this dissertation are studies of individual choice and outcomes in labor-economics related problems. In the first chapter, I use an individual's rank in his coworker-comparison group to predict whether he leaves his job and the amount of earnings growth he will experience over his next few years. Even after controlling for a variety of individual and firm observables and unobservables, I find that an individual's rank is positively correlated with his earnings growth on the current job but negatively correlated with his earnings growth when he changes jobs. The mean reversion of job changers' earnings with respect to rank suggests that rank is a signal of an individual's match productivity with his current firm. In the second chapter, my co-author and I use a flexible decomposition procedure for job-matching to distinguish changes in job-to-job flows due to structural factors of the labor market from changes due to the evolving composition of workers and firms. We find that the likelihood of workers moving to firms 25-100 miles away from their current firm when changing jobs has increased. This increased integration of local labor markets has gone undetected by other studies of mobility, which focus on interstate and even inter-county job and residential migration. In the third chapter, I study whether US citizens have become more or less likely over time to marry someone with whom they share a state of birth. Using a variety of descriptive statistics, I find that the proportion of marriages between citizens with different states of birth has increased. Individuals born in later years and those having higher education are generally more likely to marry someone born in a different state.
