Studies of individual wage dynamics typically ignore firm heterogeneity, whereas decompositions of earnings into worker and firm effects abstract from life-cycle considerations. We study firm effects in individual wage dynamics using administrative data on the population of Italian employers and...

Aggregate wages display little cyclicality compared to what a standard model would predict. Wage rigidities are an … allocative efficiency on wages paid across firms. We show that this measure has improved over time since prior to the recent …. We then focus on the recent downturn and find that large firms were able to adjust wages more than small firms, and that …

I examine the extent to which the returns to college majors are influenced by selective migration and occupational choice across locations in the US. To quantify the role of selection, I develop and estimate an extended Roy model of migration, occupational choice, and earnings where, upon...

We examine the association between brain types and wages using the UK Behavioural Study dataset for the period 2011 to … 2013 (four waves). By applying Empathising-Systemising Theory (E-S), the estimations suggest that, for men and women …

We investigate how workers' performance is affected by the timing of wages in a real-effort experiment. In all … wages by small amounts raises performance by about 15% relative to a constant wage. The effort reactions can be organized by … a model in which agents reciprocally respond to wage impulses, comparing wages to an adaptive reference standard …

We estimate the changes in US male labor market risk over the last three decades in a model of endogenous labor supply and job mobility. Across education groups permanent shocks to productivity have become more dispersed. Moreover, heterogeneity in pay across offered jobs has increased for...

This paper analyzes wage decomposition methodology in the context of panel data sample selection embedded in a correlated random effects setting. Identification issues unique to panel data are examined for their implications for wage decompositions. As an empirical example, we apply our...

In the service industries, workers are affected in terms …
