In this paper we analyse how labour market institutions and technology affect wage determination through rent sharing. To this aim we first extend the theoretical framework of Estevao and Tevlin (2003) to account for heterogeneity of labour (regular and non-regular workers). The predictions of...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the effects on regional manufacturing productivity of various external factors that characterize the economic, social, and institutional environments to which they belong. We define and distinguish here between homogeneous and urban heterogeneous...

This research focuses on the effects of incentive pay schemes (IPSs) on the within-firm gender wage gap, and explores whether the intensity of investments in intangibles at the industry level moderates such effects. To this aim, we use establishment-level data from the Structure of Earning...

This paper provides empirical evidence of the link between technological change in different technology intensive sectors and overall income (and not simply earnings) inequality in some EU eastern and western countries. In a first step, skill-biased technological change hypothesis is tested...

The objective of this paper is to analyse theoretically and empirically the effects of sectoral homogeneity and urban heterogeneity on regional manufacturing “pure” productivity differentials. Hypotheses of the existence and co-existence of the two types of external effects are formulated...
