Displacement, Asymmetric Information, and Heterogeneous Human Capital
Abstract In a seminal paper, Gibbons and Katz (1991) develop and empirically test an asymmetric information model of the labor market. The model predicts that wage losses following displacement should be larger for layoffs than for plant closings, which was borne out by data from the Displaced Workers Survey (DWS). In this paper, we take advantage of many more years of DWS data to examine how t...
متن کاملOn aggregating human capital across heterogeneous cohorts
Based on a general framework for computing the aggregate human capital stock under heterogeneity across population cohorts, the paper derives the “true” functional relationship between the aggregate human capital stock, average years of schooling, and average work experience. Under the scenarios considered here, the macro-Mincer (log-linear) functional relationship between these variables is ob...
متن کاملOffshoring, Trade in Tasks and Occupational Specificity of Human Capital∗
This paper makes three contributions to our understanding of the impact of offshoring on aggregate productivity and on labour market outcomes. First, I document that workers in tradable service occupations attain more general and more specific human capital. Second, I develop a dynamic general equilibrium model in which workers acquire human capital specific to the task they complete. Third, I ...
متن کاملAppendix for: Lifecycle Wage Growth and Heterogeneous Human Capital
In this appendix we expand upon the model presented in the text of the paper. First we generalize the model to allow for bargaining on the job rather than taking wages as exogenous. We then consider some special cases, first considering general human capital with search. We then show that firm and occupation/industry specific human capital can be considered special cases of our model. Finally, ...
