Skill mismatch and learning-by-doing : theory and evidence from time allocation on tasks
Storm, Eduard - 2023
This paper studies wage effects and job mobility as a result of skill mismatch in worker- occupation pairs. I develop a Roy model in which learning on the job induces workers to shift more time towards job-specific activities. Using a short task panel containing data on worker’s time...

Intensive informal care and impairments in work productivity and activity
Kolodziej, Ingo; Coe, Norma B.; Van Houtven, Courtney Harold - 2023
Informal care reduces work on the intensive and extensive margins; however, we do not know how caregiving affects work productivity. We link two new unique national U.S. data sets to provide the first causal estimates of the effect of providing at least 80 hours of informal care in the past...

Hours risk, wage risk, and life-cycle labor supply
Jessen, Robin; König, Johannes - 2018
We decompose permanent earnings risk into contributions from hours and wage shocks. In order to distinguish between hours shocks and labor supply reactions to wage shocks we use a life-cycle model of consumption and labor supply. Estimating our model with the Panel Study of Income Dynamics...

Labour market polarisation, job tasks and monopsony power
Bachmann, Ronald; Demir, Gökay; Frings, Hanna - 2020
Using a semi-structural approach based on a dynamic monopsony model, we examine to what extent workers performing different job tasks are exposed to different degrees of monopsony power, and whether these differences in monopsony power have changed over the last 30 years. We find that workers...

Household labor supply and Home services in a general-equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents
Bredemeier, Christian (contributor);  … - 2009
We propose a new explanation for differences and changes in labor supply by gender and marital status, and in particular for the increase in married women's labor supply over time. We argue that this increase as well as the relative constancy of other groups' hours are optimal reactions to...
