The Public Pay Gap in Britain: Small Differences That (Don’t?) Matter

Postel-Vinay, Fabien; Turon, Hélène - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

The existing literature on inequality between private and public sectors focuses on cross-section differences in earnings levels. A more general way of looking at inequality between sectors is to recognize that forward-looking agents will care about income and job mobility too. We show that...

Structural Empirical Evaluation of Job Search Monitoring

den Berg, Gerard J van; van der Klaauw, Bas - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

We structurally estimate a novel job search model with endogenous job search effort, job quality dispersion, and effort monitoring, taking into account that monitoring effects may be mitigated by on-the-job search and search channel substitution. The data are from a randomized experiment...

Preferences for Redistribution in the Land of Opportunities

Alesina, Alberto F; La Ferrara, Eliana - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002

The poor favour redistribution and the rich oppose it, but that is not all. Social mobility may make some of today …’s poor into tomorrow’s rich and since redistributive policies do not change often, individual preferences for redistribution … should depend on the extent and the nature of social mobility. We estimate the determinants of preferences for redistribution …

The Quality of Entrepreneurs

Hvide, Hans K - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

What determines the quality of entrepreneurs? To address this question, the paper proposes a simple model of the interaction between individual workers’ decision to become entrepreneurs and established firms’ effort to keep their best workers and ideas. The main prediction from the model is...

The Returns to Seniority in France (and Why are They Lower than in the United States?)

Beffy, Magali; Buchinsky, Mosche; Fougère, Denis; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

We estimate a model of the joint participation and mobility along with the individuals' wage formation in France. Our model makes it possible to distinguish between unobserved person heterogeneity and state-dependence. We estimate the model using state of the art Bayesian methods employing a...

Career Progression and Formal versus On-the-Job Training

Adda, Jérôme; Dustmann, Christian; Meghir, Costas; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

We develop a dynamic discrete choice model of training choice, employment and wage growth, allowing for job mobility, in a world where wages depend on firm-worker matches, as well as experience and tenure and jobs take time to locate. We estimate this model on a large administrative panel data...

Apprenticeships and Job Tenure: A Competing Risks Model with Time-varying Covariates

The paper examines the extent of apprenticeships in the first job for a cohort of young men entering the labour market at age 16 in the late 1970s. The impact of the apprenticeship on employment duration and early labour market mobility is estimated. The data set used is the National Child...

Wages, Experience and Seniority

Dustmann, Christian; Meghir, Costas - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

This paper develops and estimates a human capital model of wage growth based on learning by doing. Learning by doing rates are assumed to be heterogeneous and firms offer different career structures in terms of the rate of acquisition of firm specific human capital. The model is estimated using...

Options to Quit

Pfann, Gerard Antonie - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2000

This paper develops a theoretical model of optimal quit behaviour for a worker who holds an option to quit but faces a fixed cost of quitting. A worker will accept the outside offer only if the net present value of the difference in expected future cash flows associated with the old and the new...
