Abstract: Using comprehensive personnel data from a Chinese firm, we confirm significant cohort effect in our sample. Complementary to the existing literature, we have two new findings: First, cohort effect only exists among workers with low initial job levels and it disappears in senior managers. Second, the job position upon entering the firm accounts for half of the cohort effects, supporting the task-specific human capital theory.
