Canonical Correlation and Assortative Matching: A Remark
Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

Brides for Sale: Cross-Border Marriages and Female Immigration
Kawaguchi, Daiji; Lee, Soohyung - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
Every year, a large number of women immigrate as brides from developing countries to developed countries in East Asia. This phenomenon virtually did not exist in the early 1990s, but foreign brides currently comprise 4 to 35 percent of newlyweds in these developed Asian countries. This paper...

Workplace Heterogeneity and the Rise of West German Wage Inequality
Card, David; Heining, Jörg; Kline, Patrick - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013
We study the role of establishment-specific wage premiums in generating recent increases in West German wage inequality. Models with additive fixed effects for workers and establishments are fit in four sub-intervals spanning the period from 1985 to 2009. We show that these models provide a good...

Identifying Sorting: In Theory
Eeckhout, Jan; Kircher, Philipp - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009
We argue that using wage data alone, it is virtually impossible to identify whether Assortative Matching between worker … and firm types is positive or negative. In standard competitive matching models the wages are determined by the marginal …

Job Durations with Worker and Firm Specific Effects: MCMC Estimation with Longitudinal Employer-Employee Data
Horny, Guillaume; Mendes, Rute; den Berg, Gerard J. van - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009
We study job durations using a multivariate hazard model allowing for worker-specific and firm-specific unobserved determinants. The latter are captured by unobserved heterogeneity terms or random effects, one at the firm level and another at the worker level. This enables us to decompose the...

The basic intuition underlying our empirical strategy is that, in the presence of positive … (negative) assortative matching, good workers are more (less) likely to move to better firms than bad workers. Assuming that … matching is pervasive in the labor market. This result is in contrast with what we find from correlating the worker and firm …
