Equilibrium Wage Arrears: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Institutional Lock-In
Earle, John S.; Sabirianova, Klara Z. - 2000
We present a model of wage contract violation that implies a possibility of multiple equilibria in the level of arrears. Positive feedback arises because each employer's arrears affect the costs of late payment faced by other employers operating in the same labor market, resulting in a network...

Living wage', class conflict and ethnic strife
Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2008
We examine how group-specific differences in reservation wage, arising due to asymmetries in social entitlements, impact on distribution via the joint determination of class conflict between workers and employers, and 'ethnic' conflict among workers. We model a two-dimensional contest, where two...

The Effect of Early Life Health on Later Life Home Care Use: The Mediating Role of Household Composition
Bijwaard, Govert; Alessie, Rob; Angelini, Viola - 2018
In this paper we estimate the effect of early life health on home care use later in life, and we analyse whether this effect is mediated through household composition. We use Dutch administrative data on men born in 1944-1947 who were examined for military service between 1961-1965 and we link...

Brewer, Mike; Dang, Thang; Tominey, Emma - 2022
The UK Universal Credit (UC) welfare reform simplified the benefits system whilst strongly incentivising a return to sustainable employment. Exploiting a staggered roll-out, we estimate the differential effect of entering unemployment under UC versus the former system on mental health. Groups...

A Nation-Wide Laboratory: Examining Trust and Trustworthiness by Integrating Behavioral Experiments into Representative Surveys
Fehr, Ernst; Fischbacher, Urs; von Rosenbladt, Bernhard; … - 2003
Typically, laboratory experiments suffer from homogeneous subject pools and self-selection biases. The usefulness of survey data is limited by measurement error and by the questionability of their behavioral relevance. Here we present a method integrating interactive experiments and...

Using Panel Data on Income Satisfaction to Estimate the Equivalence Scale Elasticity
Schwarze, Johannes - 2000
In this paper a new method to estimate the equivalence scale elasticity using individual panel data on income satisfaction will be developed. In contrast to other subjective approaches, the present one benefits from the fact that no direct cardinal individual welfare function has to be...
