Gautier, Pieter A.; Moraga-González, José Luis; … - Tinbergen Institute - 2007

We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

Compensation of On-call and Fixed-term Employment: the Role of Uncertainty

Graaf-Zijl, Marloes de - Tinbergen Institute - 2005

In this paper I analyse the use and compensation of fixed-term and on-call employment contracts in the Netherlands.

Regional Wage Differences in the Netherlands: Micro-Evidence on Agglomeration Externalities

Groot, Stefan P.T. de; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Smit, Martijn - Tinbergen Institute - 2011

Based on micro-data on individual workers for the period 2000-2005, we show that wage differentials in the Netherlands are small but present. A large part of these differentials can be attributed to individual characteristics of workers. Remaining effects are partially explained by variations in...

Oligopsony and the Distribution of Wages

Bhaskar, V.; To, Ted - EconWPA - 1999

A number of theories (search and efficiency wages) have been developed, in part, to explain why identically able workers are often paid different wages. However, when there is a minimum wage, they do not explain the resulting ``spike" in the wage distribution. Our model's predictions are...
