Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation studies how internal migration and labor mobility shape labor productivity in different contexts. In the first chapter, with Daniel Lopes and Leonardo Monasterio, I investigate how descendants of immigrants have spread the impacts of historical immigration in Brazil. I apply a surname-based classification of ancestries to a rich linked employer-employee dataset covering every worker in the formal sector in Brazil in 2004-2017. With this classification algorithm, I identify descendants of historical immigrants in Brazil today and investigate how their concentration in labor markets-especially those along the country's agricultural frontier-affects the wages of descendants and non-descendants. I find evidence of positive labor spillovers: wages are 1-2% higher for each additional percentage point in my measure of the concentration of descendants. These results are in accord with a model in which descendants and non-descendants have complementary skills in the production function of the firms, particularly those in the agricultural sector. In the second chapter, with Marieke Kleemans and Emilia Tjernström, I investigate how self-selection combined with observed and unobserved characteristics of individuals explains heterogeneity in the returns to rural-urban migration and sectoral mobility in Indonesia. I use the IFLS dataset and recent developments in econometrics to estimate returns for different types of movers. With additional assumptions on the type of self-selection, I also estimate average returns for non-movers. Results show little heterogeneity and small returns in earnings to rural-urban migration but larger and more heterogenous returns to switching from agricultural to non-agricultural sectors, particularly for non-movers. Finally, in the third paper, I investigate the components of the wage premium of current and return migrants within Brazil. My estimates of the migrant wage premia range from 5% to 12%. I use cross-sectional and longitudinal data in different regression specifications and subsamples to investigate the role of self-selection, location-specific effects, and learning on these wage premia. My results suggest that the self-selection of internal migrants in Brazil is based more on absolute advantage (migrants earn more in any location) than comparative advantage (migrants earn more in a specific location).

Book excerpt: Previous research has found that weather disasters contribute to significant social changes in cities exposed to severe weather. Severe weather-led social change is affected by non-random exposure to weather disasters and unequal recovery. In Chapter 2, I combine several strands of literature to explain how such social changes take place in American commuting zones using a structural equilibrium sorting model. An equilibrium sorting model can describe how households make decisions about where to live and compare the amenity-prices trade-off between different groups of households. I use three census years of household-level data from 1990-2010 to find household valuations of location-specific environmental amenities such as severe weather exposure. I allow for heterogeneous outcomes based on level of education and mobility behavior. I find that college-educated workers are willing to pay more to avoid an additional weather disaster and value location-specific amenities more compared to non-college-educated workers, and non-college-educated workers value real income gains more than college-educated households do. Non-college educated workers value safety from weather disasters too. However, their marginal willingness to pay for it is significantly lower than their college-educated colleagues. This vast difference in marginal willingness to pay indicates that non-college-educated workers are more likely to be exposed to severe weather and face difficulties recovering from damages. The latest demography and economics literature on internal migration in the United States has raised concerns over the decline in mobility rates. While the decline is not rapid and not remarkable from a historical perspective, in the short-run the trend in mobility has been downward sloping for at least three consecutive decades. Seminal papers focusing on this decline have shown that the household mobility downturn is directly related to the labor market, and pointed to health insurance, technological advancements, and a homogeneous labor market as possible reasons. In Chapter 3, I focus on internal mobility in the United States and how it has been affected by household health insurance needs. I study a sample of heads-of-households with employer-based health insurance that is working full-time and provide health insurance coverage to their young-adult children. My findings suggest that despite efforts to increase its portability, health insurance still affects household mobility decisions. More specifically I show that Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, while improving access to healthcare for young adults may have inadvertently created a mobility-lock for their parents. I show using a difference-in-difference analysis that employer-based health insurance can have mobility constraints for households who value health insurance. I propose a unique identification strategy using the timings of the young adult and employer mandates of the Affordable Care Act to establish the causal effect of health insurance on long-distance mobility. I propose several robustness scenarios that further establish my thesis. I take up the issue of internal migration of working households in the United States and flexible work arrangements in Chapter 4. Alongside declining long-distance mobility rates two other trends in internal migration have been evident in recent years; an increase in return-migration of households and increasing immobility. Before now, most literature on immobility and return-migration had taken the stance that it is a response to higher moving costs (psychological moving costs), increasing childcare costs, and the need for security that has made households re-turn to their kith-and-kin. However, return-migration data show that it is not traditionally vulnerable groups that frequently move back to their birth states. With this background I seek to answer the question- does attachment to one's birth state contribute to return-migration and subsequent immobility? I answer this question using a sample of full-time workers employed in occupations that can be done remotely. With the main indicator variable that divides remote-workers and non- remote-workers, I show that when employment is not attached to the "workplace" households choose to move back to their birth states. This paper contributes to the literature on immobility where I show immobility is increasingly becoming voluntary and how that might affect interstate mobility in the United States at a time when work-from-home is becoming the norm. This work is descriptive. However, by carefully selecting the sample of workers and by using coefficient stability tests I am able to make somewhat reasonable causality claims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered why American Catholics and American Protestants in the mainline denominations in 2011 believe and worship in very similar ways; why Democrats and Republicans accept the necessity of governmental intervention to secure the "safety net" of services citizens may need to access at various times in their lives; and why average American workers in their pivotal role as producers and consumers of goods and services "own" the nation's economy; Three Essays and Three Revolutions is the book for you.Author Francis Goskowski argues that Martin Luther, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Karl Marx, three "Founding Fathers" of the modern world, are responsible for the "big ideas" that have shaped current thinking in religion, politics, and economics. By closely examining one important work of each thinker, the author shows how the revolutionary concepts Luther, Rousseau, and Marx advanced, provoked fierce opposition within the prevailing order, but ultimately gained acceptance in all circles, evidenced by the fundamental agreement on religious liberty, civic equality, and economic justice apparent throughout the Western world today.This eloquently written, thought-provoking, and sensibly priced collection of essays...is timely and long overdue. Three Essays and Three Revolutions is the sort of wonderful book of which any aspiring writer might wish to claim authorship. I am sure that it will be wisely read, thoughtfully debated, and much treasured in the years ahead. - John Quentin Feller, Ph.D., K.H.S., former professor of history and historical consultant to the late Cardinal Lawrence J. Shehan and retired Cardinal William H. Keeler, 12th and 14th Archbishops of Baltimore respectively.

Book excerpt: In the third chapter, we decompose the gap between mean sentences for males and females in the U.S. criminal justice system into the portion that can be explained by differences in the average severity of the crime committed by males and females and the portion explained by differences in how males and females who commit the same crime are treated. We find that differences in characteristics of the defendant can explain only half of the gap between mean male and females sentences, suggesting that women receive more lenient treatment in the U.S. criminal justice system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three chapters covering relationships between mortality, health, migration. Using a discrete time failure model via pooled logistic regression, chapter one shows that self-rated health is a significant predictor of mortality in rural Malawi, a context that differs greatly from those in most previous studies. This indicates that the well-established relationship between self-rated health and mortality extends to even the most resource poor settings. In chapter two, life tables are created for each state in the United States that allow for the measurement of migration over the full life course. The results show that migrants are generally positively selected on their health, and more importantly that migration reduces inequality in mortality between states. This is a contrast to other research on geographical inequality in mortality, which typically does not point to migration as a driver of other observed mortality trends. Finally, using a marginal model through generalized estimating equations, analysis in chapter three shows the varying degree to which internal migrants in the United States are selected on their health. Individuals were selected most significantly on measures of disability, and analyzing only married couples gave the strongest results by showing how individuals can be selected on a spouse’s health. Since couples often move together, marriage is an important dimension of health selective migration on the individual level in the United States.
