近日，上海财经大学经济学院劳动经济学系罗赛助理教授合作论文Toward an Understanding of the Returns to Cognitive Skill Across Cohorts在微观经济学国际顶级期刊Journal of Political Economy: Microeconomics接受发表。
论文摘要
Recent research concludes that wage returns to cognitive skill have declined in the U.S. We reassess this finding. Using decomposition methods, we document the pivotal role played by dynamic shifts in the distributions of pre-labor market cognitive skill. These shifts explain the declining estimated returns, especially for white men. We discard measurement error as an explanation. Although often overlooked, grappling with changing pre-labor market skill distributions is necessary for capturing the evolution of their labor market returns. This may prove especially important in the future, given continuing changes in skill development in recent youth cohorts.
