Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2005.

The three essays in this thesis examine adjustments workers make to changing labor market conditions, focusing in particular on how adjustment differs across education groups. The first essay documents the labor market effects of increasing competition in the market for an industry's products. Variation in the timing of state-level liberalization of the commercial banking industry allows me to identify the effects of increasing product market competition. Using restricted data from a survey of establishments spanning 1987 to 2000, I find that deregulation led to a variety of changes in the compensation structure for banking employees. Moreover, more- and less-skilled workers experienced dramatically different changes in compensation and employment.

520 $a The three essays in this thesis examine adjustments workers make to changing labor market conditions, focusing in particular on how adjustment differs across education groups. The first essay documents the labor market effects of increasing competition in the market for an industry's products. Variation in the timing of state-level liberalization of the commercial banking industry allows me to identify the effects of increasing product market competition. Using restricted data from a survey of establishments spanning 1987 to 2000, I find that deregulation led to a variety of changes in the compensation structure for banking employees. Moreover, more- and less-skilled workers experienced dramatically different changes in compensation and employment.
520 $a The second essay turns to workers' responses to changing conditions. It asks whether more educated workers are better at moving between labor markets to take advantage of geographic differentials in economic conditions. I focus on the migration responses of young workers to short-run changes in state economic conditions using a large sample of workers who entered the labor market between 1970 and the mid-1990s. I find that young workers are more likely to reside in states that offered better economic opportunities at the time they entered the labor market. However, college educated workers are much more likely to undertake such moves and are better at locating in the most opportune states. Their relative aptitude in making migration decisions contributes to their higher earnings.
520 $a The final essay, written with a co-author, asks whether the differential in migration propensities identified in the second essay is in fact caused by higher education. Alternatively, such differences may be an artifact of the selection process through which some individuals choose to attend college while others do not. We use variation in the eligibility of Korean War veterans for educational benefits under the GI Bill to obtain a sample of similar individuals with differential financial access to college. Our results suggest that college education itself increases the probability that an individual moves across regions of the U.S. Point estimates indicate that this effect is much larger for the marginal college-going individual than for the average college-goer.
