This paper analyses the causal effects of weaker dismissal protection on the incidence of long-term sickness ( six weeks). We exploit a German policy change, which shifted the threshold exempting small establishments from dismissal protection from five to ten workers. Using administrative data,...

International trade and collective bargaining outcomes : evidence from German employer-employee data

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Hauptmann, Andreas; Schmerer, … - 2012

In theoretical trade models with variable markups and collective wage bargaining, export exposure may reduce the exporter wage premium. We test this prediction using linked German employer-employee data from 1996 to 2007. To separate the rent-sharing mechanism from assortative matching, we...

Does downward nominal wage rigidity dampen wage increases?

Stüber, Heiko; Beissinger, Thomas - 2010

Viele empirische Studien, die die Komprimierung von Lohnkürzungen betrachteten, finden einen hohen Grad an Abwärtsnominallohnstarrheit (ANLS). Die resultierenden makroökonomischen Effekte scheinen jedoch überraschend gering zu sein. Dieser Widerspruch kann in einem intertemporalen Rahmen...

Firm Size Distortions and the Productivity Distribution : Evidence from France

Garicano, Luis - 2014

We show how size-contingent laws can be used to identify the equilibrium and welfare effects of labor regulation. Our framework incorporates such regulations into the Lucas (1978) model and applies this to France where many labor laws start to bind on firms with exactly 50 or more employees....

Wage Flexibility and Employment Fluctuations : Evidence from the Housing Sector

Pischke, Jörn-Steffen - 2016

Many economists suspect that downward nominal wage rigidities in ongoing labor contracts are an important source of employment fluctuations over the business cycle but there is little direct empirical evidence on this conjecture. This paper compares three occupations in the housing sector with...

Unemployment Fluctuations, Match Quality, and the Wage Cyclicality of New Hires

Gertler, Mark - 2016

Macroeconomic models often incorporate some form of wage stickiness to help account for employment fluctuations. However, a recent literature calls in to question this approach, citing evidence of new hire wage cyclicality from panel data studies as evidence for contractual wage flexibility for...
