Human Capital and Occupational Mobility.

Human Capital and Occupational Mobility. - 156 p.

Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 76-11(E), Section: A.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 2015.

This thesis contains three chapters. Chapter 1 uses underutilized SIPP to analyze occupational mobility in the U.S. from 1988 to 2003. I propose two additional mobility rates to do robustness check, with careful treatment of the coding error. I classify all occupational switches into three categories: horizontal, vertical and special. I find horizontal switches dominate the other two in shares; aging decreases mobility while education's role ambiguous. I examine the interaction between occupational mobility and labor market status. Developing an algorithm to extract nonemployment information from SIPP, I find most occupational switchers do not experience nonemployment between jobs, similar to job-changing occupational stayers, but duration variation is less for the former. As time goes by, the job-job mobility fraction declines for both.

520 $a This thesis contains three chapters. Chapter 1 uses underutilized SIPP to analyze occupational mobility in the U.S. from 1988 to 2003. I propose two additional mobility rates to do robustness check, with careful treatment of the coding error. I classify all occupational switches into three categories: horizontal, vertical and special. I find horizontal switches dominate the other two in shares; aging decreases mobility while education's role ambiguous. I examine the interaction between occupational mobility and labor market status. Developing an algorithm to extract nonemployment information from SIPP, I find most occupational switchers do not experience nonemployment between jobs, similar to job-changing occupational stayers, but duration variation is less for the former. As time goes by, the job-job mobility fraction declines for both.
520 $a Chapter 2 utilizes SIPP to uncover additional occupational mobility facts. I find occupational behavior exhibits strong persistence among nonemployed as well as employed workers; occupational switchers do not always switch to an occupation similar to previous one; and average length of transition duration between jobs varies with previous occupation. Motivated by these facts I build a directed search model that includes aggregate and idiosyncratic shocks, occupational human capital and search frictions. The model can account for the bulk of data. I use the model to study relative importance of idiosyncratic vs. aggregate shocks, and barriers to occupational mobility. I find idiosyncratic shocks are much more important than aggregate ones in generating mobility; fixed mobility costs and search frictions constitute significant barriers to mobility while transfer loss of occupational human capital does not.
520 $a Chapter 3 studies returns to occupational human capital assuming all occupations are distinct and occupational human capital is partially transferable. I name the associated tenure variable "General Occupational Tenure" and propose an empirical Transfer Rate function that relates its transferable portion with occupation distance. Combining SIPP and DOT, I perform a generalized wage regression under 1-, 2-, and 3-digit occupational classifications and find three patterns: returns to General Occupational Tenure demonstrate great variation across occupations; fixed returns generally dominate variable returns; and they are negatively correlated. Finally I generalize the result to a larger family of Transfer Rate functions.
