US earnings levels and earnings inequality: A review of recent trends and proposed explanations

ADVANCE: Organizational Change for Gender Equity in STEM Academic Professions AND Program Evaluation

Levy F, Murnane RJ.
GSID: W7OwG2lEpeUJ
F Levy, RJ Murnane - Journal of economic literature, 1992 - JSTOR

FROM THE PERSPECTIVE of 1991, US earnings trends since 1950 are demarcated by two years: 1973 and 1979. Nineteen-hundred-seventy-three marked the end of rapid real earnings growth and the beginning of slower growth bordering on stagnation.'Nine-teen-hundred-seventy-nine marked the beginning...

Nondestructive Measurement of the Evolution of Layer-Specific Mechanical Properties in Sub-10 nm Bilayer Films.

Nano letters

Hoogeboom-Pot KM, Turgut E, Hernandez-Charpak JN, Shaw JM, Kapteyn HC, Murnane MM, Nardi D.
PMID: 27285719
Nano Lett. 2016 Aug 10;16(8):4773-8. doi: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.6b00606. Epub 2016 Jul 05.

We use short wavelength extreme ultraviolet light to independently measure the mechanical properties of disparate layers within a bilayer film for the first time, with single-monolayer sensitivity. We show that in Ni/Ta nanostructured systems, while their density ratio is...

High-School Exit Examinations and the Schooling Decisions of Teenagers: Evidence From Regression-Discontinuity Approaches.

Journal of research on educational effectiveness

Papay JP, Murnane RJ, Willett JB.
PMID: 25606065
J Res Educ Eff. 2014;7(1):1-27. doi: 10.1080/19345747.2013.819398.

We examine whether barely failing one or more state-mandated high school exit examinations in Massachusetts affects the probability that students enroll in college. We extend the exit examination literature in two ways. First, we explore longer term effects of...

Tabletop Femtosecond VUV Photoionization and PEPICO Detection of Microreactor Pyrolysis Products.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

Couch DE, Buckingham GT, Baraban JH, Porterfield JP, Wooldridge LA, Ellison GB, Kapteyn HC, Murnane MM, Peters WK.
PMID: 28661692
J Phys Chem A. 2017 Jul 20;121(28):5280-5289. doi: 10.1021/acs.jpca.7b02821. Epub 2017 Jul 10.

We report the combination of tabletop vacuum ultraviolet photoionization with photoion-photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy for sensitive, isomer-specific detection of nascent products from a pyrolysis microreactor. Results on several molecules demonstrate two essential capabilities that are very straightforward to implement: the...

Controlling the competition between optically induced ultrafast spin-flip scattering and spin transport in magnetic multilayers.

Physical review letters

Turgut E, La-o-Vorakiat C, Shaw JM, Grychtol P, Nembach HT, Rudolf D, Adam R, Aeschlimann M, Schneider CM, Silva TJ, Murnane MM, Kapteyn HC, Mathias S.
