    Notes: Does religious and denominational background still affect earnings and human capital investment? Several earlier studies suggest that they do, but all of these previous studies were conducted on data from the 1970s and early 1980s. Examines religious background and human capital formation for a sample of males from the National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort (1991). Provides survey information that makes it possible to control better the many components of family background in order to isolate the impact of religion and denomination. Uses the estimation of human capital earnings functions similar to Tomes' (1984) method. Finds that men raised as Catholics or Jews have higher incomes than men raised as Protestants, other things being held equal. When the dependent variable used for the analysis is the logarithm of hourly wages, men raised either as Catholics or Jews were also found to have higher wages. Contains results from analyses of men within various Protestant denominations, as well as results for different racial and ethnic groups.

    Notes: Does religious and denominational background affect earnings and human capital investment? This paper examines religious background and human capital formation for a sample of males from the year 2000 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey Youth 1979 Cohort. This survey provides information that makes it possible to control better for many components of family background in order to isolate the impact of religion and denomination. The paper contains results from analyses of men within broad religious categories as well as within various Protestant denominations, and reports results for different racial and ethnic groups. The method used for the analysis is the estimation of human capital earnings functions. The paper finds evidence that both men raised as Catholics and men raised as Jews have higher earnings, holding other characteristics constant.

    The labor force implications of expanding the child care industry (1990)
    Springer
    Population research and policy review 9 (1990), S. 25-44

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the labor force implications of increased social investment in the child care industry. We have two main conclusions to report. First, expanding the child care industry will remove a major barrier to employment for a sizable number of women. This includes women in middle and upper income families who desire to work for personal fulfillment and to improve their families' lifestyles. But even more so, it includes women in low-income and single-parent families who need to work to maintain a minimal and dignified standard of living and who might otherwise remain dependent on welfare benefits for their own and their families' subsistence. Second, expanding the child care industry will help employers cope with a range of personnel problems they will increasingly face as the U.S. undergoes a major transition in the 1990's from being a labor surplus economy to being a labor shortage economy.

    An investigation into the effects of ethnicity and immigration on self-employment (2000)

    International advances in economic research 6 (2000), S. 498-519

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines self-employment across industries and states in the U.S. It attempts to determine whether self-employment is due more to pull or push factors and whether one or the other model fits some industries better or fits some states better. The 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples from the U.S. Census Bureau are used in the empirical analysis. It is found that self-employment rates differ considerably across ethnic groups, and that the rate of self-employment tends to be higher for immigrants. This paper also finds that increasing urbanization tends to reduce self-employment rates while the shift from manufacturing to service industries tends to increase self-employment rates.
