Heterogeneous labour markets in a microsimulation-AGE model : application to welfare reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan (contributor); Feil, Michael (contributor) - 2008
Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...

How do industries and firms respond to changes in local labor supply?
Dustmann, Christian; Glitz, Albrecht - 2011

Labor supply dynamics, unemployment and human capital investments
Wasmer, Etienne - 2002
In the last decades, the OECD labor markets faced important labor supply changes with the arrival of women and the cohorts of the baby-boom. Using a survey where workers declare their true employment experience, this paper argues that these supply trends imply more inexperienced workers. It then...

Why do some people become entrepreneurs (and others don't)? Why are firms so heterogeneous, and many firms so small? To start, the paper briefly documents evidence from the empirical literature that the relationship between entrepreneurship and education is U-shaped, that many entrepreneurs...
