Job Creation and Job Destruction Dynamics in the U.S. Truck Transportation Industry, 1995-2019
Miller, Jason; Phares, Jonathan; Burks, Stephen V. - 2023
Every year, approximately 27% of all jobs in the U.S. truck transportation sector (NAICS 484) are reshuffled across motor carriers as existing carriers grow or shrink, new entrants begin operations, and existing firms exit. Studying how these dynamics unfold, especially for young carriers, is...

Wage Inequality of U.S. Truck Drivers
Monaco, Kristen A. - 2011
Using CPS data for the period 1979-2009, the wage dispersion of truck drivers (and subsets of the truck driving sample) is compared to the trends in wage dispersion of males economy-wide. We find that truckers' wages experienced a decrease in inequality post-deregulation, as expected given the...

Stuck in the Slow Lane : Traffic Composition and the Measurement of Labor Productivity in the U.S. Trucking Industry
Boyer, Kenneth; Burks, Stephen V. - 2021
Mirroring the railroad industry of the 1940's and 1950's, the trucking industry today appears to be achieving impressive productivity gains. But it is easy to confuse true productivity advances in transportation industries with changes in ton-miles per unit of input that are due simply to...

Sensitivity of Matching-Based Program Evaluations to the Availability of Control Variables
Lechner, Michael - 2011
Based on new, exceptionally informative and large German linked employer-employee administrative data, we investigate the question whether the omission of important control variables in matching estimation leads to biased impact estimates of typical active labour market programs for the...
