| Abstract | We study learning by doing (LBD) by New York City taxi drivers, who have substantial discretion over their driving strategies and receive compensation closely tied to their success in finding customers. The breadth of the data, which cover each individual fare during 2009, allows us to document significant learning while controlling for unobservable factors that often constrain the LBD literature. In addition, we use the data’s detail on fares ’ locations and times to show that new drivers lag behind experienced drivers to a greater extent in more difficult situations, and that new drivers benefit from both general and neighborhood-specific experience. |
