Chaisemartin, Clément de; D'Haultfœuille, Xavier - 2015

In many applications of the differences-in-differences (DID) method, the treatment increases more in the treatment group, but some units are also treated in the control group. In such fuzzy designs, a popular estimator of treatment effects is the DID of the outcome divided by the DID of the...

Tenure, experience, human capital and wages : a tractable equilibrium search model of wage dynamics

Bagger, Jesper; Fontaine, François; Postel-Vinay, Fabien; … - 2014 - rev.

We develop and estimate an equilibrium job search model of worker careers, allowing for human capital accumulation, employer heterogeneity and individual-level shocks. Career wage growth is decomposed into the contributions of human capital and job search, within and between jobs. Human capital...
