  • Early Career Paths of Economists Inside and Outside of Academia

    Open AccessLucia Foster, ERIKA McENTARFER et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic…2023

    Economics job candidates face considerable professional and financial uncertainties when deciding between academic and nonacademic career paths. Using novel panel data, we provide a broad picture of PhD economists’ early career mobility and earnings growth–both in and outside of academia. We find that academic jobs have fallen to just over half of US placements, with growing shares in tech, consulting, and government. We document considerable ear…

  • Interstate Migration and Employer-to-Employer Transitions in the United States: New Evidence From Administrative Records Data

    Open AccessHenry R Hyatt, Henry Hyatt et al.ARTICLEDemography2018Cited by: 5References: 24

    Declines in migration across labor markets have prompted concerns that the U.S. economy is becoming less dynamic. In this study, we examine the relationship between residential migration and employer-to-employer transitions in the United States, using both survey and administrative records data. We first note strong disagreement between the Current Population Survey (CPS) and other migration statistics on the timing and severity of any decline in…

  • Employer-to-Employer Flows in the United States: Estimates Using Linked Employer-Employee Data

    Melissa Bjelland, Bruce Fallick et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2011

    We use administrative data linking workers and firms to study employer-to-employer (E-to-E) flows. After discussing how to identify such flows in quarterly data, we investigate their basic empirical patterns. We find that the pace of E-to-E flows is high, representing approximately 4% of employment and 30% of separations each quarter. The pace of E-to-E flows appears to be highly procyclical and varies systematically across worker, job, and emplo…

  • The Dynamics of Worker Reallocation within and across Industries

    Open AccessAMOS GOLAN, Julia Lane et al.ARTICLEEconomica2007Cited by: 1References: 11

    This paper uses an integrated employer–employee data‐set to answer two key questions: (i) What is the equilibrium amount of worker reallocation? (ii) How much does firm‐level job reallocation affect worker reallocation? About 26% of workers who had previously exhibited a substantial degree of attachment to their employer change jobs in a given year. About two‐thirds of this reallocation is roughly evenly split within and across broadly defined in…
