Skill mismatch and learning-by-doing : theory and evidence from time allocation on tasks

Storm, Eduard - 2023

This paper studies wage effects and job mobility as a result of skill mismatch in worker- occupation pairs. I develop a Roy model in which learning on the job induces workers to shift more time towards job-specific activities. Using a short task panel containing data on worker’s time...

Individualism vs. collectivism : how inherited cultural values affect labor market outcomes of second generation immigrants in the US

Höckel, Lisa Sofie - 2017

The labor market performance of second generation immigrants is a crucial determinant of integration. Labor market returns to their different cultural traits, however, have been rarely researched within the economic literature. This study provides insight on the link between the level of...

This paper analyzes the effect of educational mismatch on wages in Germany, using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. Educational mismatch has been discussed extensively, mostly by applying OLS wage regressions which are prone to an unobserved heterogeneity bias. This problem is...

Educational mismatch and mobility

Roller, Christiane; Rulff, Christian; Tamminga, Michael M. - 2019

With increasing educational attainment in Germany, the issue of inefficient human capital allocation gains importance. Especially overeducation seems to be a problem, since more and more highly educated individuals are required to take jobs that do not match their educational level, settling for...

Hours risk, wage risk, and life-cycle labor supply

Jessen, Robin; König, Johannes - 2018

We decompose permanent earnings risk into contributions from hours and wage shocks. In order to distinguish between hours shocks and labor supply reactions to wage shocks we use a life-cycle model of consumption and labor supply. Estimating our model with the Panel Study of Income Dynamics...

Labor market effects of minimum wage shocks

Micheli, Martin - 2019

The theoretical literature argues that labor markets outcomes are affected by real minimum wages. Real minimum wages, however, co-move with the business cycle; their correlation with labor market outcomes should therefore not be interpreted causally. We employ structural vector autoregression to...

Bachmann, Ronald; David, Peggy - 2009

Using two data sets derived from German administrative data, including a linked employer-employee data set, we investigate the cyclicality of worker and job flows.The analysis stresses the importance of two-sided labour market heterogeneity in this context, taking into account both observed and...

Labour market polarisation, job tasks and monopsony power

Bachmann, Ronald; Demir, Gökay; Frings, Hanna - 2020

Using a semi-structural approach based on a dynamic monopsony model, we examine to what extent workers performing different job tasks are exposed to different degrees of monopsony power, and whether these differences in monopsony power have changed over the last 30 years. We find that workers...
