How wage announcements affect job search : a field experiment
Belot, Michèle; Kircher, Philipp; Muller, Paul - 2018
We study how job seekers respond to wage announcements by assigning wages randomly to pairs of otherwise similar vacancies in a large number of professions. High wage vacancies attract more interest, in contrast with much of the evidence based on observational data. Some applicants only show...

Why do French engineers find stable jobs faster than PhDs?
Margolis, David N.; Miotti, Egidio Luis - 2017
This paper studies why PhDs in France take longer to find stable jobs than engineers. Using data from CEREQ's "Génération 2004" survey, we show that job finding rates of PhDs are lower than those of engineers and document the differences in their observable characteristics and fields of study....

What determines the share of labour in national income? : a cross-country analysis
Guerriero, Marta; Sen, Kunal - 2012
Recent evidence on functional income distribution suggests that the shares of capital and labour in national income vary considerably both over time and across countries. Specifically, there seems to be a general reduction in the labour share around the world, in particular from the mid-1980s...
