Was Higher Education a Quasi-Fixed Factor for Firms in the 1980s?
Li-Hsuan, Huang
Economics of Education Review, v20 n5 p495-501 Oct 2001
Investigates whether firms incorporated educated workers as a quasi-fixed production factor during the 1980s, when nonwage costs became more crucial. U.S. statistics show educated workers did not enjoy a relatively more stable relationship with employers. Their employment levels were adjusted in tandem with those of less-educated workers.
