Man-cessions, fiscal policy, and the gender composition of employment

Bredemeier, Christian; Jüßen, Falko; Winkler, Roland - 2015

In recessions, predominantly men lose their jobs, which has given rise to the term "man-cessions". We analyze whether fiscal expansions bring men back into jobs. To do so, we estimate vector-autoregressive models and identify the effects of fiscal shocks and non-fiscal shocks on the gender...

Estimates of Frisch labor-supply elasticities are biased in the presence of borrowing constraints. We show that this estimation bias is less pronounced for secondary than for primary earners. The reason is that, in households with two earners and joint borrowing constraints, wage-rate...

Zero-hours contracts in a frictional labor market

Dolado, Juan J.; Lalé, Etienne; Turon, Hélène - 2021

We propose a model to evaluate the U.K.'s zero-hours contract (ZHC) - a contract that exempts employers from the requirement to provide any minimum working hours, and allows employees to decline any workload. We find quantitatively that ZHCs improve welfare by enabling firms with more volatile...

Accounting for limited commitment between spouses when estimating labor-supply elasticities

Bredemeier, Christian; Gravert, Jan Hendrik; Jüßen, Falko - 2021

The Frisch elasticity of labor supply can be estimated by regressing hours worked on the hourly wage rate, controlling for consumption of the individual worker. However, most household panel surveys contain consumption information only at the household level. We show that proxying individual...
