The effects of incomplete employee wage information : a cross-country analysis

Polachek, Solomon W.; Xiang, Jun - 2005 - This Revision: August 2005

countries that strongly support unemployment insurance (UI) receive wages closer to their potential, so that doubling UI … decreases incomplete information and results in 5% higher wages.

De-routinization of jobs and polarization of earnings : evidence from 35 countries

Longmuir, Maximilian; Schröder, Carsten; Targa, Matteo - 2020

The job polarization hypothesis suggests a U-shaped pattern of employment growth along the earnings/skill distribution, which is driven by simultaneous growth in the employment of high-skill/high-earnings and low-skill/low-earnings occupations due to Routine-Biased Technological Change (RBTC)...

Can the structure of inequality explain fiscal redistribution? : revisiting the social affinity hypothesis

Luebker, Malte - 2019

Lupu and Pontusson (2011) argue that the structure of income inequality, rather than its level, can explain differences in fiscal redistribution across modern welfare states. Contrary to the assertion that there is robust evidence in support of this proposition, the present paper challenges the...

How redistributive policies reduce market inequality : education premiums in 22 OECD countries

Weisstanner, David; Armingeon, Klaus - 2018

What explains the large cross-country variation in the wage premium for higher education? Economic analyses of wage differentials by education point to technological change and globalisation, but we know little about the impact of different types of public policies. We argue that public...

Job tasks and the comparative structure of income and employment : routine task intensity and offshorability for the LIS

Mahutga, Matthew C.; Curran, Michaela; Roberts, Anthony - 2018

Comparative sociologists have long considered occupations to be a key source of inequality. However, data constraints make comparative research on two of the more important contemporary drivers of occupational stratification - globalization and technological change - relatively scarce. This...
