Differences in On-the-Job Learning across Firms
We present evidence that is consistent with large disparities across firms in their on-the-job learning opportunities using administrative datasets from Brazil and Italy. We categorize firms into discrete “classes”—which our conceptual framework interprets as skill-learning classes—using a clustering methodology that groups together firms with similar distributions of unexplained wage growth. Mincerian returns to experience vary widely across exp…

Career Consequences of Firm Heterogeneity for Young Workers: First Job and Firm Size
I study the long-term effects of landing a first job at a large firm versus a small one using Spanish administrative data. Size could be a relevant employer attribute for inexperienced workers since large firms are associated with greater productivity, wages, and training. The key empirical challenge is selection into first jobs based on unobserved worker characteristics. I develop an instrumental variable approach that, keeping business cycle co…
The Effect of Labor Market Conditions at Entry on Workers' Long-Term Skills
Using data on adults' cognitive skills from nineteen countries, this paper shows that labor market conditions during the education-to-work transition affected workers' long-term skill development. Workers who faced higher unemployment rates at ages 18 to 25 have lower skills at ages 36 to 59. Unemployment rates at ages 26 to 35 do not have such an effect. Skill inequality is affected: those with less educated parents experience most of the negati…
Displacement, Diversity, and Mobility: Career Impacts of Japanese American Internment
In 1942 more than 110,000 persons of Japanese origin living on the U.S. West Coast were forcibly sent away to ten internment camps for one to three years. This paper studies how internees' careers were affected in the long run. Combining Census data, camp records, and survey data, I develop a predictor of a person's internment status based on Census observables. Using a difference-in-differences framework, I find that internment had long-run posi…
