Earnings Inequality in Brazil: Is it Permanent or Transitory?*
This paper seeks to analyze the dynamic behavior of prime-age male workers’ earnings inequality in the formal labor market of the State of São Paulo in the years 1990-1998. The aim is to fit an econometric model of unobserved earnings components into the empirical earnings variance-covariance structure in order to evaluate the relative magnitude of individual characteristics and earnings instab...
متن کاملTrends in the Transitory Variance of Male Earnings in the U.S., 1970 - 2004
Trends in the Transitory Variance of Male Earnings in the U.S., 1970-2004 We estimate the trend in the transitory variance of male earnings in the U.S. using the Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1970 to 2004. Using both an error components model as well as simpler but only approximate methods, we find that the transitory variance started to increase in the early 1970s, continued to ...
متن کاملTransitory versus Persistent Effects of Connectivity in Environmentally Homogeneous Metacommunities
While the effect of habitat connectivity on local and regional diversity has been analysed in a number of studies, time-dependent dynamics in metacommunities have received comparatively little consideration. When local patches of a metacommunity are identical in environmental conditions but differ in initial community composition, dispersal among patches may result in homogenization of local co...
متن کاملUnderstanding Earnings Dynamics: Identifying and Estimating the Changing Roles of Unobserved Ability, Permanent and Transitory Shocks∗
We consider a general framework to study the evolution of wage and earnings residuals that incorporates features highlighted by two influential but distinct literatures in economics: (i) unobserved skills with changing non-linear pricing functions and (ii) idiosyncratic shocks that follow a rich stochastic process. Specifically, we consider residuals for individual i in period t of the form: Wi...
متن کاملThe Dynamics and Inequality of Italian Male Earnings: Permanent Changes or Transitory Fluctuations?
This paper looks at longitudinal aspects of changes in Italian male earnings inequality since the late 1970s by decomposing the earnings autocovariance structure into its persistent and transitory parts. Cross-sectional earnings differentials are found to grow over the period. The longitudinal analysis shows that such growth is determined by the permanent earnings component and is due both to a...
