Brück, Tilman; Haisken-DeNew, John P.; Zimmermann, Klaus F. - 2003

"Marginal employment" and the demand for heterogenous labour : empirical evidence from a multi-factor labour demand model for Germany
Freier, Ronny (contributor); Steiner, Viktor (contributor) - 2007
We develop a structural multi-factor labour demand model which distinguishes between eight labour categories including non-standard types of employment such as marginal employment. The model is estimated for both the number of workers and total working hours using a new panel data set. For...

Employment effects of a sectoral minimum wage in Germany
Müller, Kai-Uwe - 2010
In this paper employment effects of a sectoral minimum wage in the German construction sector are estimated from a single cross-sectional wage distribution using parametric and semi-parametric models. Parametric functional form assumptions seem too restrictive and lead to implausible results. We...
