The nature of surgeon human capital depreciation.
To test how practice interruptions affect worker productivity, we estimate how temporal breaks affect surgeons' performance of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Examining 188 surgeons who performed 56,315 CABG surgeries in Pennsylvania between 2006 and 2010, we find that a surgeon's additional day away from the operating room raised patients' inpatient mortality by up to 0.067 percentage ...
متن کاملUnemployment scarring by gender: Human capital depreciation or stigmatization? Longitudinal evidence from the Netherlands, 1980-2000.
Using longitudinal data from the Dutch Labor Force Supply Panel (OSA), this article examines how unemployment scarring (i.e., wage setbacks following unemployment) and its underlying mechanisms operate across gender in the Netherlands over the period 1985-2000.

Previous studies have estimated the "human capital depreciation" of women re-entering the work force after voluntary, lengthy interruptions.

Upon re-entry, however, real wages grow rapidly as human capital is restored. This paper develops a model of the wage historie...
متن کاملDiscussion Papers in Economics Optimal Unemployment Insurance with Human Capital Depreciation and Duration Dependence
This paper studies the effect of human capital depreciation and duration dependence on the design of an optimal unemployment insurance (UI) scheme. Our results partially confirm those obtained in most previous studies: benefits should decrease with unemployment duration. The optimal program also generates two main novel features, which are not present in stationary models. First, if human capit...

Our objective is to better understand the determinants of skill and experience premia, the costs of displacement for workers with long job tenure, and the nature of unemployment among such workers. For example, our model suggests why skilled workers can remain...
