Deferred payments, as implicit contracts, are predicted to bind workers to firms as long as workers believe that firms adhere to these implicit contracts. We employ a unique personnel data set from a Russian manufacturing firm to investigate whether wage arrears, delayed payments of wages,...

Looking inside the perpetual-motion machine : job and worker flows in OECD countries

Bassanini, Andrea; Marianna, Pascal - 2009

There is an increasing interest in the process of job creation and destruction as well of hirings and separations. Many studies suggest that idiosyncratic firm-level characteristics shape both job and worker flows in a similar way in all countries. Others argue that cross-country differences in...

High wage workers match with high wage firms : clear evidence of the effects of limited mobility bias

Andrews, Martyn J.; Gill, Leonard; Schank, Thorsten; … - 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...

Unemployment and endogenous reallocation over the business cycle

Carrillo-Tudela, Carlos; Visschers, Ludo - 2013

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous labor markets. Facing search frictions within markets and reallocation frictions between markets, workers endogenously separate from employment and endogenously reallocate between...

Worker beliefs about outside options

Jäger, Simon; Roth, Christopher; Roussille, Nina; … - 2021

Workers wrongly anchor their beliefs about outside options on their current wage. In particular, low-paid workers underestimate wages elsewhere. We document this anchoring bias by eliciting workers' beliefs in a representative survey in Germany and comparing them to measures of actual outside...
