Work of the Past, Work of the Future (2019, background): “set of economic forces will soon reverse the decline of middle-skill work, and thereby possibly restore the steep urban occupational skill and wage escalator that afforded greater opportunities to non-college workers in prior decades. Theoretical work by Acemoglu and Restrepo (2018) posits one such ”
Exporters and the rise in wage inequality: Evidence from German linked employer–employee data (2013, positive): “Note that in the original model of Melitz (2003), there are no wage differences between exporters and domestic firms because labour is assumed to be homogeneous and the labour market to be completely frictionless.”
Nonstationarity in time series of state densities (2016, background): “It is possible to impute topcoded individual earnings as a fixed multiple above the topcode threshold as in Lemieux (2006) and Autor et al. (2008) .”
The Labor Supply of Undocumented Immigrants (2017, background): “3 and 4 raise an important question: Which factors account for the differential trends among natives, legal immigrants, and undocumented immigrants? Even apart from the cyclical fluctuations, the 1994–2014 period witnessed many other important economic shocks, including the well-documented changes i”
Leave‐Out Estimation of Variance Components (2018, background): “While it is well known that wage inequality increases with age (Mincer et al., 1974; Lemieux, 2006), less is known about the extent to which firm pay premia mediate this phenomenon.”
Educational Upgrading and Returns to Skills in Latin America: Evidence from a Supply-Demand Framework, 1990-2010 (2011, methodology): “Goldin and Katz (2009), in the context of the United States, report values of around 1.6.”
Decomposing Trends in Income Volatility: The 'Wild Ride' at the Top and Bottom (2014, background): “Bollinger and Hirsch (2006) recommend that imputed data should be dropped owing to potential bias, and many papers in the inequality literature drop these observations (Autor, Katz, and Kearney 2008; Lemieux 2006).”
The early socioeconomic effects of teenage childbearing: A propensity score matching approach (2010, background): “Since the economic returns to education have increased over the past 30 years (Card 1999; Lemieux 2006), significant difference in education attainment between teen mothers and their matched counterparts may be carried over into the labor market across all racial/ethnic groups.”
