Book Synopsis Three Essays in Empirical Labour Economics by : Mikal Skuterud

Book excerpt: This thesis is a collection of three essays that use what have arguably become the three most common empirical strategies found in the labour economics literature. The first essay uses descriptive analyses to document and explain a long-term secular increase in on-the-job search (OJS) in the U.S. and Canada between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s. Based on observed concomitant trends in job-to job transition rates and returns to wage changing, the OJS increase appears most consistent with a long-term reduction in the costs of searching while employed. Moving beyond descriptive analyses, the second essay takes an instrumental variables approach to estimating the effectiveness of internet job search in reducing unemployment durations. Although raw means indicate shorter unemployment spells among internet searchers, the evidence from a more complete model that controls for observable characteristics suggests no effect of using the internet on unemployment durations. Finally, the third essay employs a differences-in-differences strategy to infer the employment and hours of work effects of Sunday shopping deregulation. The results suggest that deregulation led to a long-run increase in labour demand that was disproportionately satisfied through an increase in the employment level. In conclusion the thesis offers some insights into the relative advantages and disadvantages of these three identification strategies.

Book excerpt: The following thesis consists of three essays, each one being a study of issues of accumulation of and returns to human capital using real-world individual-level data. The first study examines what underlies differences in educational attainment between the children of immigrants to Canada and the children of the Canadian-born parents. It concludes that the children of immigrants have done better in terms of schooling, and that individual and family variables as well as unobserved characteristics such as ability cannot fully account for this difference. The second study utilizes unique Canadian surveys to investigate the effects of overeducation on wages of post-secondary graduates. It confirms that jobs requiring a post-secondary degree pay substantially higher wages than jobs that do not require education beyond high-school, and also finds a large variation both in returns to required education as well as in overeducation premia across genders, degrees and fields of study. The last essay proposes and estimates a structural dynamic model of optimal schooling and wages to explain differences between American whites and ethnic minorities of Afro-Americans and Hispanics. The study finds, among other things, that differences in educational attainment between the three ethnics can largely be explained by differences in individual endowments, while behavioural differences seem to be more important in explaining wage differences.
