摘要

My research uses a new large-scale linked employer-employee data set to study how the skill mix of workers within firms affects outcomes like wages, inequality, and worker mobility. The first chapter (with John Abowd and Kevin McKinney) develops an approach to measuring human capital that distinguishes observable and unobservable dimensions of skill. We observe a pronounced right-shift in the overall distribution of human capital between 1992 and 1997. Labor force entrants, while less experienced, were otherwise more skilled, a difference due exclusively to unobservables. Firms reduced employment shares of low skilled workers in virtually every industry.; The second chapter studies whether wage inequality and increased segregation by skill are related, by decomposing wages into components due, not only to persons and firms, but also to co-workers. Such “co-worker effects” capture the impact of a weighted sum of co-worker characteristics on individual wages. Due to limited demographic information, I rely on the person specific component of wages to proxy for co-worker “skills.” A one standardstandard deviation increase in a firm's average person effect and experience level is associated with wage increases of 3–5%. After allowing the parameters to vary across industries, industry average co-worker effects explain 26% of raw inter-industry wage differentials. Finally, while co-worker effects increase inequality, the tendency for workers to sort non-randomly into firms plays a much larger role.; The third chapter (with Lars Vilhuber) entertains the hypothesis that workers and firms engage in strategic behavior to minimize the costs associated with displacement. While distressed firms may seek to shed their least productive workers, high skill workers may quit in advance of displacement to avoid being viewed as “average” in the post-displacement labor market. We decompose job and worker flows by skill group and use quantile regression techniques to analyze the skill distribution of workers leaving distressed firms. We find significant changes to all measures of job and worker flows prior to displacement: while churning increases for all groups, retention rates for high-skilled workers fall. Immediately prior to displacement, the quantile regressions reveal a mean preserving spread in the distribution of worker quality, followed by a right-shift at the time of displacement.
