Money on the table? : firms' and workers' gains from productivity spillovers through worker mobility
Stoyanov, Andrey; Zubanov, Nikolay - 2013
We estimate how much of the gains from productivity spillovers through worker mobility is retained by the hiring firms, by the workers who bring spillovers, and by the other workers. Using linked employer-employee data from Danish manufacturing for the period 1995-2007, we find that at least...

High Wage Workers Match with High Wage Firms : Clear Evidence of the Effects of Limited Mobility Bias
Andrews, Martyn J. - 2012
Positive assortative matching implies that high productivity workers and firms match together. However, there is almost no evidence of a positive correlation between the worker and firm contributions in two-way fixed-effects wage equations. This could be the result of a bias caused by standard...

Understanding the reallocation of displaced workers to firms
Brandily, Paul; Hémet, Camille; Malgouyres, Clément - 2022
We study job displacement in France. In the medium run, losses in firm-specific wage premium account for a substantial share of the overall cost of displacement. However, and despite the positive correlation between premium and productivity in the cross-section of firms, we find that workers are...

Job Ladders by Firm Wage and Productivity
Bertheau, Antoine; Vejlin, Rune - 2023
We investigate whether workers reallocate up firm productivity and wage job ladders, and the cyclicality of this process. We document that productivity is a better measure of the job ladder than the average wage, since high productivity firms relative to low poach more workers than high wage...
