Consistent with the view that labor market institutions are more rigid in France … somewhat less in Canada, and did not fall at all in France. Contrary to expectations, however, we find little evidence that …

Exploitation of Labor? Classical Monopsony Power and Labor's Share

Brooks, Wyatt J. - 2019

How important is the exercise of classical monopsony power against labor for the level of wages and labor's share? We examine this in the context of China and India - two large, rapidly-growing developing economies. Using theory, we develop a novel screen to quantify how wages are affected by...

Machine Labor

Angrist, Joshua - 2019

Machine learning (ML) is mostly a predictive enterprise, while the questions of interest to labor economists are mostly causal. In pursuit of causal effects, however, ML may be useful for automated selection of ordinary least squares (OLS) control variables. We illustrate the utility of ML for...

Rethinking the Area Approach : Immigrants and the Labor Market in California, 1960-2005

Peri, Giovanni - 2010

I show that a CES production-function-based approach with skill differentiation and integrated national labor markets has predictions for the employment effect of immigrants at the local level. The model predicts that if I look at the employment (rather than wage) response by skill to...

Climate Policy and Labor Markets

Deschenes, Olivier - 2010

An important component of the debate surrounding climate legislation in the United States is its potential impact on labor markets. Theoretically the connection is ambiguous and depends on the sign of cross-elasticity of labor demand with respect to energy prices, which is a priori unknown. This...

A Formal Test of Assortative Matching in the Labor Market

Abowd, John M. - 2009

We estimate a structural model of job assignment in the presence of coordination frictions due to Shimer (2005). The coordination friction model places restrictions on the joint distribution of worker and firm effects from a linear decomposition of log labor earnings. These restrictions permit...

The stock market and aggregate employment

Chen, Long - 2009

We study the interactions between the stock market and the labor market. When aggregate risk premiums are time-varying, predictive variables for market excess returns should forecast long-horizon growth in the marginal benefit of hiring and thereby long-horizon aggregate employment growth....

Unraveling Results from Comparable Demand and Supply : An Experimental Investigation

Niederle, Muriel - 2009

Markets sometimes unravel, with offers becoming inefficiently early. Often this is attributed to competition arising from an imbalance of demand and supply, typically excess demand for workers. However this presents a puzzle, since unraveling can only occur when firms are willing to make early...
