Bohachova, Olga; Boockmann, Bernhard; Buch, Claudia M. - CESifo - 2011

Muendler, Marc-Andreas; Becker, Sascha O. - CESifo - 2006

Multinational labor demand responds to wage differentials at the extensive margin, when a multinational enterprise (MNE) expands into foreign locations, and at the intensive margin, when an MNE operates existing affiliates across locations. We derive conditions for parametric and nonparametric...

Bargain, Olivier; Immervoll, Herwig; Peichl, Andreas; … - CESifo - 2011

Scars of Recessions in a Rigid Labor Market

Cockx, Bart; Ghirelli, Corinna - CESifo - 2015

We study the impact of graduating in a recession in Flanders (Belgium), i.e. in a rigid labor market. In the presence of a high minimum wage, a typical recession hardly influences the hourly wage of low educated men, but reduces working time and earnings by about 4.5% up to twelve years after...
