Accounting for Labor Demand Effects in Structural Labor Supply Models
Peichl, Andreas - 2010
microdata level. We show the performance and relevance of our extension by introducing a pure labor supply side reform, the … workfare concept, in Germany and simulating the labor market outcome of the reform. We find that demand effects offset about 25 … percent of the positive labor supply effect of the policy reform …

Distributional Consequences of Labor Demand Adjustments to a Downturn : A Model-Based Approach with Application to Germany 2008-09
Bargain, Olivier - 2010
Macro-level changes can have substantial effects on the distribution of resources at the household level. While it is possible to speculate about which groups are likely to be hardest-hit, detailed distributional studies are still largely backward-looking. This paper suggests a straightforward...

Exporting and Labor Demand : Micro-Level Evidence from Germany
Lichter, Andreas - 2013
It is widely believed that globalization increases the volatility of employment and decreases the bargaining power of workers. One mechanism explaining this relationship is given by the long-standing Hicks-Marshall laws of derived demand: with international trade increasing competition and...

The Own-Wage Elasticity of Labor Demand : A Meta-Regression Analysis
Lichter, Andreas - 2014
Firms' labor demand responses to wage changes are of key interest in empirical research and policy analysis. However, despite extensive research, estimates of labor demand elasticities remain subject to considerable heterogeneity. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive meta-regression...

Can the Labor Demand Curve Explain Job Polarization?
Peichl, Andreas; Popp, Martin - 2022
In recent decades, many industrialized economies have witnessed a pattern of job polarization. While shifts in labor demand, namely routinization or offshoring, constitute conventional explanations for job polarization, there is little research on whether shifts in labor supply along the labor...

Welfare, Labor Supply and Heterogeneous Preferences : Evidence for Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier - 2011
Following the report of the Stiglitz Commission, measuring and comparing well-being across countries has gained renewed interest. Yet, analyses that go beyond income and incorporate non-market dimensions of welfare most often rely on the assumption of identical preferences to avoid the...

Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US
Bargain, Olivier - 2011
Despite numerous studies on labor supply, the size of elasticities is rarely comparable across countries. In this paper, we suggest the first large-scale international comparison of elasticities, while netting out possible differences due to methods, data selection and the period of...

Comparing Labor Supply Elasticities in Europe and the US : New Results
Bargain, Olivier - 2012
We suggest the first large-scale international comparison of labor supply elasticities for 17 European countries and the US, separately by gender and marital status. Measurement differences are netted out by using a harmonized empirical approach and comparable data sources. We find that own-wage...
