Chapter 1 Post Schooling Wage Growth: Investment, Search and Learning (2006, background): “There is a rather broad range of estimates for the size of the tenure e¤ects ranging from of approximately 7 to 35 percent per ten years of seniority (see Topel 1991, and Altonji and Williams (1996, 1998).”
Is Unemployment Really Scarring? Effects of Unemployment Experiences on Wages (2001, neutral): “Information on firm and job characteristics is 9 Some examples of studies that have tried to address the issue of endogeneity of tenure are, Abraham and Farber (1987), Altonji and Shakotko (1987), Topel (1991), Altonji and Williams (1997), and Dustmann and Meghir (1998).”

Productivity, seniority and wages: new evidence from personnel data (2001, background): “% And the debate on it is still open, as shown by the recent reappraisal of Altonji and Williams (1997).”
Occupational Specificity of Human Capital (2009, positive): “Our estimates of the returns to firm tenure are similar to those reported in a recent article by Altonji and Williams (2005), which aims to reconcile the findings in Altonji and Shakotko (1987) and Topel (1991).”
