Working Papers, Drafts and Work In Progress
- "The Economic Value of Childhood Socio-Emotional Skills" (w/ Emilia Del Bono, Paul Garcia) - ISER WP. R&R Journal of Labor Economics
- We study how childhood socio-emotional skills predict adult labor market outcomes, using data from the UK BCS70. Childhood attention problems predict worse outcomes, but, surprisingly, conduct problems predict higher wages and better jobs.- "The Impact of Labour Demand Shocks When Occupational Labour Supplies are Heterogeneous" (w/ Michael Bohm, Aitor Irastorza-Fadrique) - IFS WP.
- Using data from Germany, we show that accounting for heterogeneous substitutability across occupations is important for explaining observed wage and employment changes. These results are important for considering the effect of large ongoing changes to labour demand.- (Older) "Precautionary Saving for Consecutive Life-Cycle Income Risk" (w/ Richard Blundell and Tom Stoker), draft available on request.
- How do young households save when faced with a succession of future risks? We theoretically find that in some situations the interaction of future risks increases the need for saving, in other situations the need for saving declines.
