The Labor Market Consequences of Incarceration
Publication year:
2001
| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: An analysis of "the mechanisms that plausibly link incarceration to employment and earnings. . .[and] the challenges of causal inference for a highly self-selected sample of criminal offenders" is presented (p. i). This paper is divided into four parts: ex-offenders in the labor market; identifying and measuring the effects of incarceration; research designs and future research; and conclusion. It appears that prison time can negatively impact an individual's earnings, especially the elderly or white-collar ex-offender's income.
