Worker identity, employment fluctuations and stabilization policy
Snower, Dennis J.; Lechthaler, Wolfgang - 2013
This paper provides a model of "social hysteresis" whereby long, deep recessions demotivate workers and thereby lead them to change their work ethic. In switching from a pro-work to an anti-work identity, their incentives to seek and retain work fall and consequently their employment chances...

Dinlersoz, Emin Murat; Hyatt, Henry R.; Janicki, Hubert P. - 2016
Young and small firms are typically matched with younger and nonemployed individuals, and they provide these workers with lower earnings compared to other firms. To explore the mechanisms behind these facts, a dynamic model of entrepreneurship is introduced, where individuals can choose not to...

Gender, selection into employment, and the wage impact of immigration
Borjas, George J.; Edo, Anthony - 2021
Immigrant supply shocks are typically expected to reduce the wage of comparable workers. Natives may respond to the lower wage by moving to markets that were not directly targeted by immigrants and where presumably the wage did not drop. This paper argues that the wage change observed in the...

Labor market frictions and lowest low fertility
Guner, Nezih; Kaya, Ezgi; Sánchez Marcos, Virginia - 2019
The total fertility rate is well below its replacement level of 2.1 children in high-income countries. Why do women choose such low fertility levels? We study how labor market frictions affect the fertility of college-educated women. We focus on two frictions: uncertainty created by dual labor...
