This project involves two related empirical projects aimed at examining the dynamics of employment, hours, and compensation in U.S. labor markets. The link between the studies is the presumption that the costs of hiring and training new workers encourages firms to retain workers once they have been hired. The first study examines expected patterns in union contracts when there are costs associated with adjusting employment. This analysis will be undertaken with data on major bargaining agreements in the U.S. from 1965 to 1985. The second study focuses on measuring cyclical movements in labor costs taking into account workers' turnover behavior. A major component of this analysis is to match industry data on employment and hours to individual data on employment turnover in order to estimate the impact of firms' decisions on labor turnover. This project is important because it will provide a better understanding of the behavior of the labor market and the impact of labor contracts on labor mobility.

该项目涉及两个相关的实证项目，旨在研究美国劳动力市场的就业、工作时间和薪酬动态。 这些研究之间的联系是这样的假设：雇用和培训新工人的成本会鼓励公司在雇用工人后留住他们。第一项研究考察了当存在与调整就业相关的成本时工会合同的预期模式。 这项分析将使用 1965 年至 1985 年美国主要谈判协议的数据进行。第二项研究的重点是衡量劳动力成本的周期性变动，同时考虑到工人的流动行为。 该分析的一个主要组成部分是将就业和工作时间的行业数据与就业流动率的个人数据相匹配，以估计公司决策对劳动力流动率的影响。 该项目很重要，因为它将让人们更好地了解劳动力市场的行为以及劳动合同对劳动力流动的影响。
