Empirical Analysis of Inter-Firm Worker Mobility

虽然在理解收入动态和工人的工作流动性之间的关系方面取得了一些进展，但由于缺乏区分各种流动性理论的相对重要性的框架，完整的分析受到了阻碍。本研究的目的是开发并开展一套广泛的流动理论测试，主要使用以下信息：(1)先前流动模式，(2)非自愿工作变动后的工资和流动历史，(3)工作第一年的流动性，以及(4)求职方法与流动性之间的关系。从NLS青年队列开始，来自各种来源的纵向数据将用于实施该模型。此外，为了区分各种理论，将学习有关劳动力市场动态和特定流动模式的重要事实。这个项目很重要，因为它将增加我们对工作流动性的理解，这将开始帮助我们解释工作内部和工作之间的工资增长模式。

While some progress has been made in understanding the relationships between earnings dynamics and the job mobility of workers, a complete analysis has been hampered by the lack of a framework to distinguish the relative importance of various theories of mobility. The purpose of this research is to develop and carry out an extensive set of tests of competing theories of mobility using information primarily on (1) the pattern of prior mobility, (2) wage and mobility histories following involuntary job changes, (3) mobility during the first year on the job, and (4) the relationship between the method of job search and mobility. Longitudinal data from a varied of sources, starting with the NLS youth cohort, will be used to implement the model. In addition, to distinguishing the various theories, important facts will be learned about labor market dynamics and specific patterns of mobility. This project is important because it will increase our understanding of job mobility which will begin to help us explain the patterns of wage growth within and between jobs.
