Worker Diversity and Wage Growth Since 1940
Vandenbroucke, Guillaume; Peake, Makenzie
(2020)
Since 1940 the average worker has become older, more educated, more likely to be a woman, less likely to be White, and slightly less likely to be single. How has this evolution of the average worker affected wage growth, that is, the wage of the average worker? We conduct two sets of experiments: First, we decompose wage growth between a “growth effect” and a “distribution effect.” The former measures the effect of a change in the wage function, associating wages with worker types; the latter measures the effect of the changing distribution of worker types. Both effects contribute ...

Zhu, Heting; Vandenbroucke, Guillaume

Lifetime Work Hours and the Evolution of the Gender Wage Gap
Leukhina, Oksana; Vandenbroucke, Guillaume
(2024-09-30)
The gender wage gap expanded from 1940 and 1975 but narrowed sharply from 1980 to 1995. We use the model introduced in Ben-Porath (1967) to assess the role of gender differences in life cycle profiles of market time in explaining the gender wage gap dynamics over the long run. Men’s profiles changed little across cohorts, but women’s profiles converged to those of men, and especially so in higher-paying occupations. We calibrate the model and find that the implied trends in unobserved investment in human capital accumulation account for most of the long run gender wage gap dynamics. The ...

Has the Growth in the Price of Education Outpaced Overall Inflation?

Vandenbroucke, Guillaume; Peake, Makenzie

Boomers Have Played a Role in Changes in Productivity
Vandenbroucke, Guillaume
(2017)
In this article, I hypothesize that the two slowdowns are related to a single, common factor: the baby boom, that period from 1946 to 1957 when the birth rate increased by 20 percent. This hypothesis is not to say that the baby boom was entirely responsible for these two episodes of low productivity growth. Rather, it is to point out the mechanism through which the baby boom contributed to both. Exactly how much did the baby boom contribute to these slowdowns? The answer to that question is beyond the scope of this article.
