An analysis of labour adjustment costs in unionized economies

Modesto, Leonor; Thomas, Jonathan P. - 2000

In this paper we conduct a theoretical analysis of the implications of a union which can exploit the existence of firm labour adjustment costs. We consider a model involving a large number of identical firms facing a single, economy-wide union. We solve (i) for the Markov perfect equilibria with...

Market-Based Compensation, Price Informativeness and Short-Term Trading

Calcagno, Riccardo - 2007

This paper shows that there is a natural trade-off when designing market-based executive compensation. The benefit of market-based pay is that the stock price aggregates speculators' dispersed information and therefore takes a picture of managerial performance before the long-term value of a...

Managerial payoff and gift exchange in the field

Englmaier, Florian; Leider, Stephen G. - 2012

We conduct a field experiment where we vary both the presence of a gift exchange wage and the effect of the worker's effort on the manager's payoff. The results indicate a strong complementarity between the initial wage gift and the agent's ability to repay the gift. We collect information on...

Asymmetric Wage Adjustment and Employment in European Firms

Marotzke, Petra - 2017

We explore the impact of wage adjustment on employment with a focus on the role of downward nominal wage rigidities. We use a harmonised survey dataset, which covers 25 European countries in the period 2010-2013. These data are particularly useful for this paper given the firm-level information...

Endogenous Labor Share Cycles : Theory and Evidence

Growiec, Jakub - 2015

Based on long US time series we document a range of empirical properties of the labor's share of GDP, including its substantial medium-run swings. We explore the extent to which these empirical regularities can be explained by a calibrated micro-founded long-run economic growth model with...

Wage and Employment Cyclicalities at the Establishment Level

Merkl, Christian; Stueber, Heiko - 2021

We document substantial cross-sectional heterogeneity of German establishments’ real wage cyclicality over the business cycle. While wages of the median establishment are moderately procyclical, 36 percent of establishments have countercyclical wages. We estimate a negative connection between...
