In this presentation, I describe an alternative iterative approach for the estimation of linear regression models with high-dimensional fixed-effects, such as large employer–employee datasets. This approach is computationally intensive but imposes minimum memory requirements. I also show that...

Drawing on evidence from the United States and Germany, this paper offers a survey of the effects of worker representation (in unions and works councils) and innovative work practices on firm performance. The interaction between worker representation and high performance work practices provides...

Taking as our point of departure a model proposed by David Card (2001), we suggest new methods for analyzing wage dispersion in a partially unionized labor market. Card's method disaggregates the la- bor population into skill categories, which procedure entails some loss of information....
