Job Tenure and Labour Market Regulation: A Comparison of Britain and Italy using Micro Data

Lifetime Jobs and Transient Jobs: Job Tenure in Britain 1975-91

This paper provides a new way of analyzing tenure profiles in wages, by modelling simultaneously the evolution of wages and the distribution of tenures. Starting point is the observation that within-job log wages for an individual can be described by random walk. We develop a theoretical model...
