中文摘要
我们利用2001年至2015年间50万名芬兰男性的数据，分析了心理特质的劳动力市场回报趋势。认知技能的价值下降，而非认知技能的价值上升。我们的新发现表明，外向性推动了这一上升，而尽责性保持稳定。外向性回报的上升在低收入者和处于就业边缘的人群中最为明显。这些特质预测了不同的劳动力市场路径：外向性预测较低的教育水平和更多的工作经验，而认知能力和尽责性则导向更高的教育水平和高薪工作。
Abstract
We analyze trends in labor-market returns to psychological traits using data from half a million Finnish men from 2001 to 2015. Cognitive skills' value declined, while noncognitive skills' value increased. Our novel findings show that extraversion drives this rise, while conscientiousness remains stable. Extraversion's rising returns are most pronounced for lower earners and those on the employment margin. These traits predict different labor market paths: extraversion predicts lower education and more work experience, while cognitive ability and conscientiousness lead to higher education and high-paying jobs.
