2- This new job wage premium fades as firms accumulate employment experience in the occupation, disappearing after 6–8 years. The pattern consistent with hiring uncertainty that resolves as the firm gains employment experience in the occupation.

6/ Our main results show that: When a job opens in their family's network, men get a significant wage increase from their current employer. Women's wages, however, remain unaffected. To shed light on the mechanisms, we provide two important pieces of evidence.

Men's wages (figure on the left-hand side) respond to job openings while women's wages remain unaffected (figure on the right-hand side)

5/ We exploit outside opportunities emerging at plants to which workers are connected via their family network since... a) they are central mediators of information on job opportunities. b) quality of outside options balanced across genders (see figure). This isn't true for professional networks.

The quality of expanding plant characteristics (where family connections are currently employed) is balanced across genders.

Hi #EconSky! I’m a PhD Candidate in Economics at Uppsala University. My #EconJMP investigates how firms’ previous employment experience in a particular occupation affects hiring standards, wages, and post-hiring outcomes. Find out more about my research here: sites.google.com/view/dogangu...
