Performance pay and prior learning : evidence from a retail chain

Manthei, Kathrin; Sliwka, Dirk; Vogelsang, Timothy J. - 2018

hinges on prior job experience. Introducing sales-based performance pay for district- and later for store-managers, we find … performance pay decreases with experience and may even vanish in the limit. We provide empirical evidence in line with this … hypothesis, for instance, finding positive treatment effects (only) in stores with low job experience. …

Hiring and firing costs, adverse selection and long-term unemployment

Kugler, Adriana D.; Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2000

In this paper, we present a matching model with adverse selection that explains why flows into and out of unemployment are much lower in Europe compared to North America, while employment-to-employment flows are similar in the two continents. In the model, firms use discretion in terms of whom...

Cyclicality of job and worker flows : new data and a new set of stylized facts ; conference paper

Bachmann, Ruediger; Bayer, Christian; Seth, Stefan; … - 2013

We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the plant level using a new data set spanning from 1976-2006. We find that procyclical labor demand explains relatively little of procyclical worker flows. Instead, all plants in the employment growth distribution increase their...

Effects of labor reallocation on productivity and inequality : insights from studies on transition

Tyrowicz, Joanna; Van der Velde, Lucas; Švejnar, Jan - 2016

From a theoretical perspective the link between the speed and scope of rapid labor reallocation and productivity growth or income inequality is ambiguous. Do reallocations with more flows tend to produce higher productivity growth? Does such a link appear at the expense of higher income...

30,000 minimum wages : the economic effects of collective bargaining extensions

Martins, Pedro S. - 2014

Several countries extend collective bargaining agreements to entire sectors, therefore binding non-subscriber workers and employers. These extensions may address coordination issues but may also distort competition by imposing sector-specific minimum wages and other work conditions that are not...

Population growth, immigration and labour market dynamics

Elsby, Michael W. L.; Smith, Jennifer C.; Wadsworth, … - 2021

This paper examines the role of population flows on labour market dynamics across immigrant and native-born populations in the United Kingdom. Population flows are large, and cyclical, driven first by the maturation of baby boom cohorts in the 1980s, and latterly by immigration in the 2000s. New...

When opportunity knocks: confronting theory and empirics about dynamics of gender wage inequality

Tyrowicz, Joanna; Van der Velde, Lucas - 2021

We present empirical evidence that large structural shocks are followed by changes in labor market inequality. Specifically, we study short-run fluctuations in adjusted gender wage gaps (unequal pay for equal work) following episodes of structural shocks in the labor markets, using several...

Employment reallocation over the business cycle: evidence from Danish data

Bertheau, Antoine; Bunzel, Henning; Vejlin, Rune Majlund - 2020

We present new evidence on how employment growth varies across firm types (size, productivity, and wage) and over the business cycle using Danish data covering almost 30 years. We decompose net employment growth into two recruitment margins: net hirings from/to employment (poaching) and net...

Takhtamanova, Yelena F.; Sierminska, Eva - 2016

This paper studies the mechanisms driving the persistently high unemployment rate during the last recession and mild recovery. Previous studies have examined the demographic aspect of the recession. We focus on specific industries. Consequently, we propose a methodology to decompose changes in...
