Gender and the Labor Market: What Have We Learned from Field and Lab Experiments? (2014, background): “Fortin (2008) uses longitudinal data to investigate the role of greed and altruism, and concludes that differences in these preferences – as recorded prior to labor market entry – are a modest but significant important predictor of earnings gaps.”
Interpersonal Styles and Labor Market Outcomes (2008, positive): “…for differences in the returns to the various types of interpersonal skills across jobs and the assignment of people to jobs may explain the weak effect of simple regressions in which wages are regressed on personal characteristics (see Machin et al. (2001); Mueller and Plug (2006); Fortin 2008).”
The Gender Wage Gap: Extent, Trends, and Explanations (2017, background): “In her study of the impact of psychological factors on the gender pay gap, Fortin (2008) estimated wage regressions for two cohorts (the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972—NLS 72—and the National Education Longitudinal Study 30 However, Fryer and Levitt (2010) report that…”
More than just test scores (2012, background): “Other articles in the volume, by Fortin (2008), Krueger and Schkade (2008), Segal (2008), and Urzua (2008), address other labour market consequences related to non-cognitive skills and the roles of workers, as well as the impacts of students’ noncognitive skills.”
Noncognitive Skills, Occupational Attainment, and Relative Wages (2009, neutral): “Similarly, Bettio (2002) and Fortin (2008) find that, in Canada and Europe, within-occupation wage differentials are also the predominant explanation for the aggregate wage penalty that women face.”
Decomposing the Ins and Outs of Cyclical Unemployment (2012, positive): “We employ an approach proposed by several recent studies (Fortin, 2008; Jann, 2008; Elder et al., 2010) and estimate the reference vector through a pooled regression model over both samples, including a sample-specific intercept.”
When Do Covariates Matter? And Which Ones, and How Much? (2016, background): “This issue has led to various discussions in the literature about the proper specification of the OBD; see, e.g., Neumark (1988), Fortin (2008), and Elder et al. (2010).”
Gender Gaps in Performance: Evidence from Young Lawyers (2017, neutral): “, 2006; Fortin, 2008). Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) for a cohort of young persons aged between 14 and 22 at their first interview in 1979, Heckman et al. (2006) find gender gaps in traits such as self-determination among individuals who later obtain a college educati”
Gender Role Attitudes and Women's Labor Market Participation: Opting-Out, AIDS and the President Appeal of Housewifery (2015, background): “A growing body of literature on the impact of noncognitive skills in wage determination (e.g. Heckman, Stixrud, and Urzua (2006), Fortin (2008)) also appeals to psychological variables, such as the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and the Rotter locus of control scale.”
Does Transparency Lead to Pay Compression? (2017, background): “The review suggests that the pay cuts we see were not offset by improvements in benefits.”
The Non-Cognitive Returns to Class Size (2008, neutral): “Two other studies in this literature have explored the role of non-cognitive skills in explaining gender and racial gaps in labor-market performance (Fortin, 2008; Urzua, 2008).”
EARLY CHILDHOOD INVESTMENTS SUBSTANTIALLY BOOST ADULT HEALTH (2014, methodology): “Regression coefficients for the treatment and control group are restricted to be the same (α), and are based on the following pooled model: Y = αX + γD + τ + ε, where D is a dummy for treatment status and τ is a constant (108).”
