Abstract This study provides novel evidence on the relevance of task content changes between and within occupations to wage dynamics of occupational changers and stayers. I use individual-level, cross-sectional data featuring tasks performed on the job to compute a measure of proximity of job contents. Then, I merge this measure to a large-scale panel survey to show that occupational changers experience a wage growth that is declining when the accompanying alterations in task contents are big. For occupational stayers, alterations in task contents generate a positive wage component, beyond tenure effect. However, the results are not robust with respect to the choice of proximity measure and over time.

职业任务的变化及其与个人工资和职业流动性的关系

摘要这项研究提供了新的证据，说明职业之间和内部的任务内容变化与职业变更者和滞留者的工资动态之间的相关性。我使用以工作上执行的任务为特征的个人级别的横截面数据来计算工作内容的接近程度。然后，我将此措施合并到大规模的面板调查中，以表明随着任务内容的随之而来的变化，职业变更者的工资增长正在下降。对于职业性居留者，任务内容的改变会产生正的工资成分，而不是任期影响。但是，就接近度的选择和随时间的推移，结果并不可靠。
