The Impact

Recent work by labor economists has suggested that differential labor market treatment of minorities (e.g., occupational segregation) may vary across local labor markets. This study assesses whether changing economic conditions in a local labor market affects the degree of occupational segregation by race and gender in the United States. Our empirical analysis finds evidence that the relative occupational structures of white women and black males are systematically related to changes in certain local labor market conditions.

An emerging body of research examines collective human capital flow via context-emergent turnover (CET) theory, which builds on resource-based theory and the literature on human capital. CET theory indicates that collective human capital flow—or employee movement into and out of organizations—is of growing significance to scholars and practitioners given the effects that it has on important organizational outcomes. Yet, a better understanding of what drives systematic variance in collective outflows and inflows is needed so that employers can strategize and plan ways to manage human capital flow. We use CET theory to highlight the role of a firm’s reputation as an antecedent to human capital flow. Moreover, because CET theory emphasizes the significance of context, we consider how labor market conditions change the nature of these relationships. We predict and find that a positive reputation helps employers reduce several types of collective human capital flow, yet more reputable employers are better able to do so in slack, rather than tight, labor markets. These results shed light on the importance of context on collective human capital flow and indicate the potential of CET theory to understand not only the consequences but also the drivers of collective movement in and out of organizations.

Long Run Equilibrium

This paper incorporates human capital accumulation through provision of universal public education by a balanced-budget government to a demand-driven analytical framework of functional distribution and growth of income. Human capital accumulation positively impacts on workers’ productivity in production and their bargaining power in wage negotiations. In the long-run equilibrium, a rise in the tax rate (which also denotes the share of output spent in human capital formation) lowers the pre- and after-tax wage share and physical capital utilization, and thus raises (lowers) the output growth rate when the latter is profit-led (wage-led). The impact of a higher tax rate on the employment rate (which also measures human capital utilization) in the long-run equilibrium is negative (ambiguous) when output growth is wage-led (profit-led). In any case, the supply of higher-skilled workers does not automatically create its own demand.
