Publish or Perish: Selective Attrition as a Unifying Explanation for Patterns in Innovation over the Career. Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2023-07-01 Huifeng Yu,Gerald Marschke,Matthew B Ross,Joseph Staudt,Bruce Weinberg
Studying 5.6 million biomedical science articles published over three decades, we reconcile conflicts in a longstanding interdisciplinary literature on scientists' life-cycle productivity by controlling for selective attrition and distinguishing between research quantity and quality. While research quality declines monotonically over the career, this decline is easily overlooked because higher "ability"

Spillover bias in multigenerational income regressions Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2022-02-04 Jørgen Modalsli,Kelly Vosters
Intergenerational persistence estimates are susceptible to several well-documented biases arising from income measurement, and it has become standard practice to construct income measures to mitigate these. However, remaining bias can lead to a spurious grandparent coefficient estimate in multigenerational regressions, a recent focus of the mobility literature. We show with theory and simulations that

Victimization and Skill Accumulation: The Case of School Bullying Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-11-15 Miguel Sarzosa
Recent literature has shown that skills are not only essential for the development of successful adults, but also that they are malleable and prone to be affected by many experiences, especially during childhood. This paper examines how bullying depletes skills in school children. I formulate a dynamic model of skill accumulation with endogenous victimization based on the identification of unobserved

Parental Labor Supply: Evidence from Minimum Wage Changes Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-11-15 Anna Godøy,Michael Reich,Jesse Wursten,Sylvia Allegretto
Declining labor force participation rates among less-educated individuals in the U.S. have been attributed to various causes, including skill-biased technical change, demand shocks induced by international competition, looser eligibility requirements for disability insurance, the opioid epidemic and the nature of child care and family leave policies. In this paper, we examine how the labor supply of

Labor Market Signaling and the Value of College: Evidence from Resumes and the Truth Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-11-15 Daniel Kreisman,Jonathan Smith,Bondi Arifin
We ask what resume content can teach us about labor market signaling and the value of college credits and degrees. To do so we scrape a large corpus of resumes from an online jobs board and match these with actual records of college attendance and graduation from the National Student Clearinghouse. We then observe whether job seekers strategically omit schools they did not graduate from, and what worker

The Effect of Quarantining Welfare on School Attendance in Indigenous Communities Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-09-09 Deborah A. Cobb-Clark,Nathan Kettlewell,Stefanie Schurer,Sven Silburn
We analyze the impact of a recent initiative by the Australian Government to reduce disadvantage and improve children's welfare in Aboriginal communities. The policy – known as income management – quarantines 50 percent of welfare payments to be spent on priority goods (e.g., food, housing, education) and not on socially harmful goods (drugs, pornography, gambling). Our focus is on children's school

Public Investments in Early Childhood Education and Academic Performance: Evidence from Head Start in Texas Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-09-09 Esra Kose
Do early childhood investments for low-income children narrow the academic achievement gap in elementary school? I study this question in the context of Head Start, by utilizing previously unexplored variation in the federal funding expansions across counties in the 1990s. Using student-level data from Texas, I find that exposure to more generous Head Start funding during childhood led to substantial

The Unintended Consequences of Informal Child Care Subsidies for Older Women’s Retirement Security Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-08-06 Yulya Truskinovsky
Grandmothers provide a significant amount of childcare in the US, but little is known about how this informal, and often uncompensated, time transfer impacts their economic and health outcomes. This project addresses the impact of federally funded, state-level means-tested programs that compensate grandparent-provided childcare on the retirement security of older women, an economically vulnerable group

Wages, Skills, and Skill-Biased Technical Change: The Canonical Model Revisited Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-08-06 Audra Bowlus,Lance Lochner,Chris Robinson,Eda Suleymanoglu
The canonical supply-demand model of the wage returns to skill has been extremely influential; however, it has faced several important challenges. Several studies show that the standard approach sometimes produces theoretically wrong-signed elasticities of substitution, yields counterintuitive paths for skill-biased technical change (SBTC), and does not account for the observed deviations in college

Dynamics of the Gender Gap in High Math Achievement Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-07-12 Glenn Ellison,Ashley Swanson
This paper examines the dynamics of the gender gap in high math achievement over the high school years using data from the American Mathematics Competition. A clear gender gap is already present by 9th grade and the gender gap widens over the high school years. High-achieving students must substantially improve their performance from year to year to maintain their within-cohort rank, but there is nonetheless

The Minimum Wage, EITC, and Criminal Recidivism* Journal of Human Resources (IF 5.784) Pub Date : 2021-07-12 Amanda Y. Agan,Michael D. Makowsky
For recently released prisoners, the minimum wage and the availability of state Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs) can influence both their ability to find employment and their potential legal wages relative to illegal sources of income, in turn affecting the probability they return to prison. Using administrative prison release records from nearly six million offenders released between 2000 and 2014
