Estimation of linear dynamic panel data models with time-invariant regressors
Kripfganz, Sebastian; Schwarz, Claudia - 2013 - This Version: May 6, 2013
This paper considers estimation methods and inference for linear dynamic panel data models with unit-specific heterogeneity and a short time dimension. In particular, we focus on the identification of the coefficients of time-invariant variables in a dynamic version of the Hausman and Taylor...

Labor shortage and innovation
Horbach, Jens; Rammer, Christian - 2020
Skilled labor is a key input to the innovation process. A shortage in supply of skilled labor may hence impede innovation activities, resulting in lower productivity gains. While governments are concerned about these likely negative impacts, there is only limited empirical evidence whether and...

Monopsony and automation
Azar, José; Chugunova, Marina; Keller, Klaus; Samila, … - 2023
We examine the impact of labor market power on firms' adoption of automation technologies. We develop a model that incorporates labor market power into the task-based theory of automation. We show that, due to higher marginal cost of labor, monopsonistic firms have stronger incentives to...

The demand of heterogeneous labour in Germany
Falk, Martin; Koebel, Bertrand M. - 1997
In this paper, four commonly provided explanations for the shift in labour demand for different skill groups are investigated: the substitutability of inputs; the own-price sensitivity for different types of labour; the effect of economic growth and the impact of technological change. In...

The impact of a negative labor demand shock on fertility : evidence from the fall of the Berlin Wall
Liepmann, Hannah - 2018
How does a negative labor demand shock impact fertility? I analyze this question in the context of the East German fertility decline after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. I exploit differential pressure for restructuring across East German industries which led to unexpected, exogenous, and...

The labor demand effects of refugee immigration : evidence from a natural experiment
Berbée, Paul; Brücker, Herbert; Garloff, Alfred; … - 2022
We study the labor demand effect of immigration on local labor markets by exploiting the fact that refugees in Germany are banned from working in the first few months after arrival. This natural experiment allows isolating a pure immigration-induced labor demand effect. For empirical...
