使用收入动态小组研究（PSID）的数据评估了动机和社会因素对收入的长期影响。我们的分析使用了20多岁时首次观察的男性样本，并将他们的社会和动机特征与15-25年后测量的劳动力市场成就联系起来。我们还研究了在职培训和劳动力供应在解释收入与这些动机和社会特征之间的联系方面的作用。与之前使用这些数据的大多数工作相反，我们发现许多特征具有相当大的分析能力。总的来说，我们的激励措施在考虑未来劳动力市场的成功方面与完成学业一样强大。我们的一些社会特征指标可以作为收入的负面预测指标，而对被调查者家的清洁度的衡量则是劳动力市场成功的持久有力的积极预测指标。
The long-run impact on earnings of motivational and social factors is assessed using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Our analyses use a sample of men first observed in their 20s and relates their social and motivational traits to labor-market attainments measured 15-25 years later. We also examine the role of on-the-job training and labor supply in accounting for the link between earnings and these motivational and social traits. In contrast to most previous work with these data, we find considerable analytic power for a number of traits. Taken together, our motivational measures are as powerful as completed schooling in accounting for future labor-market success. Some of our social-trait measures serve as negative predictors of earnings, while a measure of the cleanliness of the respondent's home was a persistently powerful positive predictor of labor-market success.
