SUMMARY:The effects of human capital depreciation on occupational gend
 er segregation\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Hsueh-Hsiang (Cher)
  Li\, UW Department of Economics
DESCRIPTION:This talk analyzes how human capital depreciation affects
  occupational gender segregation. Prior studies are generally biased b
 ecause\, given an occupational depreciation rate\, female workers endo
 genously choose the duration of leave. I address this problem by propo
 sing an alternative depreciation measure utilizing involuntary job dis
 placement shocks. Using this depreciation proxy along with additional 
 pecuniary and non-pecuniary occupational attributes\, I estimate a con
 ditional logit model of occupational choices separately for male and f
 emale college graduates. My results show that women have a stronger di
 staste than men for occupations with high human capital depreciation.<
