Degrees Of Poverty: The Relationship Between Family Income Background And The Returns To Education, Timothy J. Bartik, Brad J. Hershbein
Degrees Of Poverty: The Relationship Between Family Income Background And The Returns To Education, Timothy J. Bartik, Brad J. Hershbein
Brad J. Hershbein
Drawing on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we document a startling empirical pattern: the career earnings premium from a four-year college degree (relative to a high school diploma) for persons from low-income backgrounds is considerably less than it is for those from higher-income backgrounds. For individuals whose family income in high school was above 1.85 times the poverty level, we estimate that career earnings for bachelor’s graduates are 136 percent higher than earnings for those whose education stopped at high school. However, for individuals whose family income during high school was below 1.85 times the poverty level, the career …

We show that skill requirements in job vacancy postings differentially increased in MSAs that were hit hard by the Great Recession, relative to less hard-hit areas, and that these differences across MSAs persist through the end of 2015. The increases are prevalent within occupations, more pronounced in the non-traded sector, driven by both within-firm upskilling and substitution from older to newer firms, accompanied by increases in capital stock, and are evident in realized employment. We argue that this evidence reflects the restructuring of production toward moreskilled workers and routine-labor saving technologies, and that the Great Recession accelerated this process.

Worker Signals Among New College Graduates: The Role Of Selectivity And Gpa, Brad J. Hershbein
Worker Signals Among New College Graduates: The Role Of Selectivity And Gpa, Brad J. Hershbein
Brad J. Hershbein
Recent studies have found a large earnings premium to attending a more selective college, but the mechanisms underlying this premium have received little attention and remain unclear. In order to shed light on this question, I develop a multidimensional signaling model relying on college grades and selectivity that rationalizes students’ choices of effort and firms’ wage-setting behavior. The model is then used to produce predictions of how the interaction of the signals should be related to wages, namely that the return on college GPA should fall the more selective the institution attended. Using five data sets that span the early …

An Event Study Of Ui Benefit Cuts: Evidence From North Carolina, Brad Hershbein, Christopher O'Leary
An Event Study Of Ui Benefit Cuts: Evidence From North Carolina, Brad Hershbein, Christopher O'Leary
Brad J. Hershbein
On July 1, 2013, North Carolina cut the maximum duration of UI benefits from 63 weeks (or 99 with EUC) to 19 weeks and the maximum weekly payout from $535 to $350. As of January 1, 2014, the EUC program ended nationwide and several states have cut maximum benefits to below 26 weeks. While several newspaper articles and blogs have offered descriptive evidence of the results of North Carolina’s policy change, there has been no rigorous and systematic analysis. Using synthetic control methods pioneered by Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller, and CPS data, we will investigate the impact of the UI …
