  • the intergenerational persistence of lifetime Earnings
    Research Papers in Economics, 2007
    Co-Authors: Lutz Hendricks
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a new method for estimating the intergenerational persistence of lifetime Earnings from data that contain only short sections of Individual Earnings histories. The approach infers lifetime Earnings persistence from the persistence of short Earnings averages together with information about the stochastic process governing Individual Earnings. I find that lifetime Earnings are substantially more persistent than previous estimates based on short panel data suggest. About 54% of lifetime Earnings differences between fathers persist into their sons' generation. This persistence estimate exceeds previous estimates based on five year Earnings averages by one third. These findings are robust against alternative assumptions about the data generating process for Earnings.

  • the intergenerational persistence of lifetime Earnings
    Social Science Research Network, 2002
    Co-Authors: Lutz Hendricks
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a new method for estimating the intergenerational persistence of lifetime Earnings from data that contain only short sections of Individual Earnings histories. The approach infers lifetime Earnings persistence from the persistence of short Earnings averages together with information about the stochastic process governing Individual Earnings. I find that lifetime Earnings are substantially more persistent than estimates of average Earnings persistence suggest. The coefficient in a regression of children's lifetime Earnings on fathers' lifetime Earnings is approximately 0.54. Proxying for lifetime Earnings using five year averages leads to a downward bias in estimated intergenerational persistence of one-third. The bias is much stronger, if observations with zero Earnings are not excluded from the sample. These findings are robust against alternative assumptions about the data generating process for Earnings.

  • are there gender and country of origin differences in immigrant labor market outcomes across european destinations
    Journal of Population Economics, 2007
    Co-Authors: Alicia Adsera, Barry R Chiswick
    Abstract:

    The paper uses the 1994-2000 waves of the European Community Household Panel to conduct a systematic analysis of the Earnings of immigrants as compared to native workers, in particular to test whether there is any systematic variation in the labor market performance of immigrants across gender related to duration in the destination, schooling, age at immigration, country of origin, or country of destination. We find a significant negative effect of immigrant status on Individual Earnings of around 40% at the time of arrival in the pooled sample, although the difference is somewhat smaller for women. Those differences, however, vary greatly across countries with migrants in Germany and Portugal faring best relative to natives, and those in Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg or Spain the worst, particularly among non-EU born migrants. Gender differences are more important among those born outside the European Union, with women doing relatively better than men. Among men, those from Asia, Latin-America and Eastern Europe receive the lowest Earnings. LatinAmerican and Eastern European women are at the bottom of the women’s distribution. Earnings increase with duration in the destination and the foreign born “catch-up” to the native born, others variables being the same, at around 18 years in the destination among both men and women. Education matters more for women in terms of explaining Earnings, whereas language skills are relatively more important for men.

  • unequal migration and urbanisation gains in china
    Journal of Development Economics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Pierrephilippe Combes, Sylvie Demurger, Shi Li, Jianguo Wang
    Abstract:

    We assess the role of internal migration and urbanisation in China on the nominal Earnings of three groups of workers (rural migrants, low-skilled natives, and high-skilled natives). We estimate the impact of many city and city-industry characteristics that shape agglomeration economies, as well as migrant and human capital externalities and substitution effects. We also account for spatial sorting and reverse causality. Location matters for Individual Earnings, but urban gains are unequally distributed. High-skilled natives enjoy large gains from agglomeration and migrants at the city level. Both conclusions also hold, to a lesser extent, for low-skilled natives, who are only marginally negatively affected by migrants within their industry. By contrast, rural migrants slightly lose from migrants within their industry while otherwise gaining from migration and agglomeration, although less than natives. The different returns from migration and urbanisation are responsible for a large share of wage disparities in China.
