Changes in Life-Cycle Earnings: What Do Social Security Data Show?

Rosen, Sherwin; Taubman, Paul

Journal of Human Resources, v17 n3 p321-38 Sum 1982

A matched sample of Social Security and Current Population Survey records is used to determine life-cycle earnings patterns of White males. Estimated effects of schooling and experience compare well with other studies, but interaction effects with cohort do not. Military experience plays a powerful role in earnings differences across cohorts. (Author/SK)
