Seminar «Age-earnings profiles of different generations»

A joint research seminar of the Laboratory for Labour Market Studies and the Centre for Labour Market Studies was held at HSE On December 18, 2018.

Speaker: Andrey Aistov, Associate Professor at Department of Economic Theory and Econometrics of HSE Campus in Nizhny Novgorod.

Theme: Age-earnings profiles of different generations.

In this research we compare age-earnings profiles between generations. Our empirical estimates are based on the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of HSE (RLMS-HSE), 1994–2015. Using intrinsic estimator, we overcome age-period-cohort problem inherent in Mincer-type earnings functions. Comparison presented in the report revealed that some male generations’ income is less than that of the young cohorts and the opposite effect for some generations of women.
