Employer Learning and General Human Capital∗
We develop a model where competing employers gradually learn about a worker’s productivity, like in the standard Jovanovic (1979) learning model. Rather than assuming that productivity is match-specific, we allow for general human capital productivity. We consider competitive wage determination through matching wage offers and counter-offers. We can also characterize the wage dynamics. Some of ...
متن کاملThe Speed of Employer Learning
The employer-learning literature finds support for statistical discrimination on the basis of schooling. How economically relevant statistical discrimination is depends on how fast employers learn about workers’ productive types. This article is the first to estimate the speed of employer learning. Employers learn quickly. Initial expectation errors decline by 50% within 3 years. This estimate ...
متن کاملEmployer Learning and the “Importance” of Skills
We ask whether the role of employer learning in the wage-setting process depends on skill type and skill importance to productivity. Combining data from the NLSY79 with O*NET data, we use Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery scores to measure seven distinct types of pre-market skills that employers cannot readily observe, and O*NET importance scores to measure the importance of each skill...

Contrary to the model without employer learning, we find that the Intuitive Criterion does not always select a unique separating equilibrium. When the Intuitive Criterion bites and information is purely asymmetric, the...
متن کاملEmployer Learning , Job Mobility , and Wage Dynamics ∗
This paper takes a new approach to testing whether employer learning is public or private. We show that public and private learning schemes make two distinct predictions about the curvature of wage growth paths when there is a job change, because the amount of information transferred to a new employer about workers’ productivity is smaller in the private learning case than in the public learnin...
