Rent-Sharing, Holdup, and Wages : Evidence from Matched Panel Data
Card, David - 2010
When wage contracts are relatively short-lived, rent sharing may reduce the incentives for investment since some of the returns to sunk capital are captured by workers. In this paper we use a matched worker-firm data set from the Veneto region of Italy that combines Social Security earnings...

Adjusted Estimates of Worker Flows and Job Openings in Jolts
Davis, Steven J. - 2010
We develop and implement a method to improve estimates of worker flows and job openings based on the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Our method involves reweighting the cross-sectional density of employment growth rates in JOLTS to match the corresponding density in the...

Minimally Altruistic Wages and Unemployment in a Matching Model
Rotemberg, Julio J. - 2010

Wages and Informality in Developing Countries
Meghir, Costas - 2012
It is often argued that informal labor markets in developing countries promote growth by reducing the impact of regulation. On the other hand informality may reduce the amount of social protection offered to workers. We extend the wage-posting framework of Burdett and Mortensen (1998) to allow...

Measuring Job-Finding Rates and Matching Efficiency with Heterogeneous Jobseekers
Hall, Robert E. - 2015
Matching efficiency is the productivity of the process for matching jobseekers to available jobs. Job-finding is the … output; vacant jobs and active jobseekers are the inputs. Measurement of matching efficiency follows the same principles as … measuring an index of productivity of production. We develop a framework for measuring matching productivity when the population …
