Macroeconomic implications of changes in the composition of the labor force
Kellie Forrester (Author), University of California, Santa Barbara Department of Economics (Degree granting institution), Peter Rupert
The United States has experienced several sectoral shifts over the last hundred years, a shift from agriculture to manufacturing, manufacturing to services, and within these sectors the shift from the home sector to the market sector. These shifts have been attributed in the literature to different sectoral productivity growth rates. It is likely that these sectoral re-allocations have far reaching impacts on economic indicators we measure. My dissertation concerns the effect of the difference in productivity growth rates across sectors on the market to home hours ratio, sectoral employment trends for men and women, and the consumption to output ratio as measured in the National Income and Product Accounts
