MONKS, JAMES Returns to Individual and College Characteristics: Evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Economics of Education Review 19,3 (June 2000): 279-289 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 3589 Publisher: Elsevier There is growing interest in the heterogeneity of earnings among college graduates. This study examines earnings differentials across both individual and institutional characteristics. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, it can be seen that graduates from highly or most selective colleges and universities earn significantly more than graduates from less selective institutions. Additionally, graduates from graduate degree granting and research universities, and private universities earn more than their counterparts from liberal arts colleges and public institutions. There is, however, variation across racial and gender groups in the returns to individual and college characteristics. These findings are important in an educational environment where the (market) value of a liberal arts education is under scrutiny, and where the higher costs of private versus public colleges and universities are being questioned.

MONKS, JAMES PIZER, STEVEN DANIEL Trends in Voluntary and Involuntary Job Turnover Industrial Relations 37,4 (October 1998): 440-459 Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Men ID Number: 3375 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley InterScience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. There has been some controversy recently about whether and how much job security has been declining in the United States. This article uses data from the National Longitudinal Surveys to show that young men became more likely to change jobs over the period from 1971 to 1990. For whites, this increase is mostly attributable to an increase in the probability of involuntary job change. For nonwhites, the probability of voluntary and involuntary job change both increased.
