Hannes Schwandt (Universität Zürich) presents "Unlucky Cohorts: Earnings, Income, and Mortality Effects from Entering the Labor Market in a Recession"
Abstract: We study the persistent effect of initial labor market conditions for labor market entrants in the United States from 1976 to today on earnings, receipt of government support, and mortality by education, gender, and race groups. We find that adverse ef- fects are larger for workers without a college degree and nonwhites. While these effects are partly offset by increases in the receipt of food stamps for the least advantaged, we find persistent increases in poverty. We also find moderate increases in mortality later in life, suggesting an unlucky start still has adverse effects once earnings and wage losses have faded.
