Assessing Post-Ada Employment: Some Econometric Evidence And Policy Considerations, John J. Donohue
Assessing Post-Ada Employment: Some Econometric Evidence And Policy Considerations, John J. Donohue
John Donohue
In this article, we offer innovative analysis and additional evidence on the relationship between the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and the relative labor market outcomes for people with disabilities, the very class protected by its landmark provisions. Using individual-level longitudinal data from 1981 to 1996 derived from the previously unexploited Panel Study of Income Dynamics (“PSID”), we examine the possible effect of the ADA on (1) annual weeks worked; (2) annual earnings; and (3) hourly wages for a sample of 7120 unique male household heads between the ages of 21 and 65 as well as a subset of 1147 …

A Continuous-Time Stochastic Model Of Job Mobility: A Comparison Of Male-Femals Hazard Rates Of Young Workers, John J. Donohue

This study examines male and female hazard rates in the periods 1968-1971 and 1979-1982 using data for young workers from the various samples of the National Longitudinal Surveys. Contrary to a number of previous micro-data studies, I demonstrate that for the period 1968-1971 female workers quit their initial full-time jobs at substantially higher rates than male workers. Moreover, while male hazard rates show a monotonic decline, female rates show a nonmonotonic u-shaped pattern, which I attribute to a "birth effect" -- young women leaving the labor force to have children.
For the period 1979-1982, however, young women had become almost …
