Intergenerational Transmission of Disadvantage: Negative Parental Selection, Economic Upheaval, and Smoking
Semester Course Load and Student Performance
Yakity-Yak: Who Talks Back? An Email Experiment
Objective. We extend the scope of the often-asked question “who talks more—men or women?” by analyzing gender differences in talking via electronic communication. We do this by conducting a controlled experiment to elicit email communications and personal characteristics from a sample of college students. Methods. An integration of the disparate fields of communications, education, women's studies, and economics guides our approach, which uses mu…
Community College Enrollment, College Major, and the Gender Wage Gap
The literature on the narrowing of the gender wage gap during the 1980s considers, among other factors, the closing of the male-female differential in post-secondary education. This paper looks specifically at the role played by the dramatic relative increase in women's enrollment in two-year colleges. With independent cross-sections developed using NLSY data, the authors find that the gender wage gap narrowed by 0.0469 log points between 1985 an…
Cigarette smoking, illicit drug use and the value of life
This article investigates the relationship between cigarette smoking and illicit drug use and compensating wage differentials for the risk of job-related death. Knowledge of an individual's experiences with cigarettes and illicit drugs is used to identify worker heterogeneity in job-risk preferences. The results show that individuals who are both nonsmokers and nondrug users work in the safest jobs and receive the highest compensating wage differ…
The Impact of Drug Use on Earnings: A Life-Span Perspective
Cross-sectional and longitudinal causal analyses were carried out on a longitudinal cohort of employed adult males (N∼ 400) to investigate the relationship between various forms of drug use and earnings. By age 35, there are no cumulative effects of the use of illicit drugs on wages. Specification of the relationships at various stages of the life cycle reveals that the effects of illicit drug use are positive in the early stages of labor force p…

Does Drug Use Lower Wages
This study, using microdata from the 1980 and 1984 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, examines the effects of drug use on wages and employment. Contrary to most previous researchers' findings that illegal drug use negatively affects earnings, this analysis suggests that, once an allowance is made for self-selection effects (that is, unobservable factors simultaneously affecting wages and the decision to use drugs), drug users act…
The Role of Discrimination in Determining Occupational Structure
The author of this study attempts to isolate the role of discrimination in determining racial differences in occupational structure. Logit techniques are used to identify and distinguish between determinants of the probability that an individual will choose an occupation and the probability that an individual will be hired for a desired job. The empirical results indicate that much of the under-representation of blacks in managerial, sales and cl…
