The Heterogeneous Effects of Training Incidence and Duration on Labor Market Transitions

Fitzenberger, Bernd - 2010

This paper estimates the impact of training incidence and duration on employment transitions accounting for the endogeneity of program participation and duration. We specify a very flexible bivariate random effects probit model for employment and training participation and we use Bayesian Markov...

Descriptive Evidence on Labor Market Transitions and the Wage Structure in Germany

Fitzenberger, Bernd - 2008

Equilibrium search theory suggests that the wage distribution in a cross section of workers is closely related to labor market transitions and associated wage changes. Accordingly, job-to-job transitions are central in explaining the wage distribution. This paper uses the IAB employment...

The Phillips Curve and NAIRU Revisited : New Estimates for Germany

Fitzenberger, Bernd - 2008

This paper provides new estimates of a time-varying NAIRU for Germany taking account of the structural break caused by German unification based on the Kalman Filter and on a partially linear model as two alternatives. Estimating a standard Phillips curve, the sum of coefficients associated with...

Rising Wage Inequality in Germany : Increasing Heterogeneity and Changing Selection into Full-Time Work

Biewen, Martin - 2017

This study revisits the increase in wage inequality in Germany. Accounting for changes in various sets of observables, composition changes explain a large part of the increase in wage inequality among full-time workers. The composition effects are larger for females than for males, and...

Can a Task-Based Approach Explain the Recent Changes in the German Wage Structure?

Antonczyk, Dirk - 2009

This paper investigates the changes in the German wage structure for full-time working males from 1999 to 2006. Our analysis builds on the task-based approach introduced by Autor et al. (2003), as implemented by Spitz-Oener (2006) for Germany, and also accounts for job complexity. We perform a...

Employment and Earnings Effects of Awarding Training Vouchers in Germany

Doerr, Annabelle - 2014

In 2003, Germany moved from a system in which participants in training programs for the unemployed are assigned by caseworkers to an allocation system using vouchers. Based on the rich administrative data for all vouchers and on actual program participation, we provide inverse probability...

A Sequential Decomposition of the Drop in Collective Bargaining Coverage

Fitzenberger, Bernd - 2015

Union representation has been in strong decline in most OECD countries with potentially important consequences for wages. What drives this decline? We try to answer this question by developing and implementing a detailed decomposition approach based on Fairlie (2005). Using linked...

Union Density and Varieties of Coverage : The Anatomy of Union Wage Effects in Germany

Fitzenberger, Bernd - 2009

Collective bargaining in Germany takes place either at the industry level or at the firm level; collective bargaining coverage is much higher than union density; and not all employees in a covered firm are necessarily covered. This institutional setup suggests to explicitly distinguish union...
