ES-0221390Charles BidwellRobert PetrinUniversity of ChicagoThis Doctoral Dissertation Improvement project examines ways in which post-secondary educational institutions (PSEIs) contribute to stratification of technical personnel in the contemporary American economy. Among the specific questions it seeks to address are: (1) do PSEIs that science and engineering graduates attend have pervasive effects on subsequent occupational outcomes, and (2) does the functional differentiation among science and engineering graduates reflect differences in their social backgrounds and the regional clustering of technologies and industries. In order to shed light on these questions this research will develop a framework for embedding post secondary educational institutions in labor market analyses by providing a description of labor markets and career structures segmented by relations between PSEIs and regions.Several post-industrial trends have led to the re-evaluation of structuralist concepts from economics and sociology and contributed to a resurgent interest in theories of labor market segmentation. The role of regions and education in science and engineering suggests that PSEIs might play a role in structuring labor markets. Indeed, prior research on science and engineering has found that rewards in technical subsystems are often products of institutions' positions in networks of information and resource exchanges. Therefore, in the proposed research the structure of science and engineering practice is posited as manifest, at the individual-level, in the distribution of individuals from various social backgrounds and with various educational credentials across fields and functional roles in the economy. At the college and university-level, the structure of practice is believed to be manifest in enduring relationships between PSEIs and other key actors in their environments which shape the opportunities available to graduates over the course of their careers.The primary data for this research will be drawn from selected national data on college graduates collected by the Nations Science Foundation (i.e., Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System and Survey of Earned Doctorates). These data will be matched to a number of other sources to generate a composite data set linking science and engineering graduates to relevant information on the PSEIs they attended, as well as economic data on regional and sectoral conditions believed to be correlated with labor market processes. Since employer characteristics play important roles in determining returns to education, it will be necessary to collect and include these types of supplementary data in analysis, as well as data on PSEIs' relationships with key actors in their environments. Analysis will consist of two major phases. The first will provide a description of PSEIs' positions in labor markets. The second will examine individuals' functional roles in the economy as correlates of their socioeconomic background and characteristics of their degree granting institutions. Career trajectories will be similarly analyzed using appropriate methods for multicohort data.

ES-0221390CHARLES BIDWELLROBERT PETRINUNUNIVERSITY的博士学位论文改进项目研究了中学后教育机构（PSEIS）有助于当代美国经济中技术人员分层的方式。 它试图解决的具体问题之一是：（1）对科学和工程毕业生的参加对随后的职业成果具有普遍影响，（2）科学和工程毕业生之间的功能差异反映了其社会背景的差异以及技术和工业的区域聚类。 为了阐明这些问题，这项研究将开发一个框架，通过提供对劳动力市场和职业结构的描述来嵌入次级教育机构，以对劳动力市场和职业结构进行描述，这些劳动力市场和职业结构是由庞氏和地区之间的关系分割的。几乎是工业后趋势，导致了经济学和社会学的结构主义概念的重新评估，从而对一个兴趣进行了兴趣，并贡献了一个兴趣促进的兴趣。 地区和教育在科学和工程中的作用表明，伪人可能在构建劳动力市场中发挥作用。 确实，先前对科学和工程学的研究发现，技术子系统的奖励通常是机构在信息和资源交流网络中的立场的产物。 因此，在拟议的研究中，科学和工程实践的结构被认为是在个人层面上，在各种社会背景的个人分布以及各个领域的各种教育资格和在经济中的功能角色。 在学院和大学层面上，据信实践结构在其环境中持久的关系与其他主要参与者之间的关系显现出来，这些关系塑造了毕业生在其职业生涯中可用的机会。这项研究的主要数据将从国家科学基金会（I.E. I.E.，科学家和工程师，统计数据制度和调查系统）的统计数据和ERATATES MERADATES SARMETAS CORPATES和ERAMETATES MERADATES的大学毕业生中的选定国家数据中获取。 这些数据将与许多其他来源相匹配，以生成一个综合数据集，该数据集将科学和工程毕业生与他们所参加的pseis的相关信息以及有关据信与劳动劳动力市场流程相关的地区和部门条件的经济数据进行了联系。 由于雇主特征在确定教育回报方面起着重要作用，因此有必要在分析中收集并包括这些类型的补充数据，以及有关PSEIS与关键参与者在其环境中的关系的数据。 分析将由两个主要阶段组成。 第一个将提供对伪劳动力市场中的立场的描述。 第二个将研究个人在经济中的功能作用，因为其社会经济背景和学位授予机构的特征的相关性。 将使用适当的多峰数据方法对职业轨迹进行类似的分析。
