Labor Market Discrimination Depending on Dialect and Hometown; Evidence From Japanese Labor Market Composed by Almost Same Race People
In this paper, I estimate the "Employer Learning Model" with a Japanese panel dataset. With this estimation, I would like to test whether Japanese employers modify their use of education for the evaluation of employees' wages and whether wage disparity based on hometown exists in the Japanese labor market that is comprised of only a yellow-skinned race. The results of the analysis show that Japanese employers are learning about employees' product…

Studies in Labor Supply: Collected Essays of Jacob Mincer, Volume 2
Studies in Labor Supply, the second volume of Jacob Mincer's essays to be published in this series, focuses on the family context of labor supply especially that of women. Special attention is devoted to wage incentives and wage consequences of labor supply and to long term trends in the female labor force, a major social phenomenon of the twentieth century.

Human Capital and the Labor Market: A Review of Current Research
Several studies have investigated survey data on the prevalence of on-the-job training. These studies have sought to discover who receives training and the effects of this labor market experience on workers' wages, wage growth, turnover, and employment. What is the magnitude of workers' and employers' investments in job training? How profitable are such investments? The first part of the article considers these questions. The second reviews studi…

Interrupted Work Careers: Depreciation and Restoration of Human Capital
The quantitative effects and even the existence of a "human capital depreciation" phenomenon have been a subject of controversy in the recent literature. Prior work, however, was largely cross-sectional and the longitudinal dimension, if any, was retrospective. Using longitudinal panel data (on married women in NLS) we have now established that real wages at reentry are, indeed, lower than at the point of labor force withdrawal, and the decline i…

Family Migration Decisions
An economic definition of family ties relevant to migration decisions leads to the exploration of their effects on the probability of migration, on consequent changes in employment and earnings of family members, and on family stability. It is shown that ties represent negative "personal" externalities which are usually, but not always, internalized by the family. ties tend to deter migration, to reduce the employment and earnings of migrating wi…

HE purpose of this paper is to explore T the effects of variations in employment on family and aggregate consumption. The results illustrate a general thesis that the effects of income variation on consumption expenditures depend on the sources of such variation. This is true in cross-sections as well as in time series, even though the major factors related to changes of income over time are not equally important as determinants of income differe…
