Profit-maximizing firms should fill job positions at the lowest possible cost. Because employees may have preferences over the attributes of their jobs, we can view this problem as one of finding the optimal way to sell job attributes to potential employees. In this paper, we characterize the...

Polarization, purpose and profit

Ferreira, Daniel Bernardo Soares; Nikolowa, Radoslawa - 2024

We present a model in which firms compete for workers who have a taste for a nonpecuniary job attribute, such as purpose, sustainability, ES/CSR, or working conditions. Firms can invest in flexible production technologies that allow them to create jobs with different levels of the desirable job...

Firm pay dynamics

Engbom, Niklas; Moser, Christian; Sauermann, Jan - 2021

We study the nature of firm pay dynamics. To this end, we propose a statistical model that extends the seminal framework by Abowd, Kramarz, and Margolis (1999a) to allow for idiosyncratically time-varying firm pay policies. We estimate the model using linked employeremployee data for Sweden from...

The importance of education for the reallocation of labor: Evidence from Swedish linked employer-employee data 1986 - 2002

Gartell, Marie; Jans, Ann-Christin; Persson, Helena - 2007

Using employer-employee data covering the whole Swedish economy over a uniquely long time period from 1986 to 2002, we examine how job flows and worker flows have been distributed both on an aggregate level and across educational levels. We find that job and worker flows vary by educational...

Determinants of plant closures in Swedish manufacturing

Andersson, Fredrik; Vejsiu, Altin - 2001

We study the derminants of plant closures i Swedish manufacturing using linked employer-employee data. From our theoretical framework we derive and empirically test hypothesis regarding the linkages between the probability of plant failure and: 1) industry-specific characteristics of production...

Misallocation of talent in competitive labor markets

Ferreira, Daniel; Nikolowa, Radoslawa - 2015

We develop a model in which competition in the labor market may produce worker-firm matches that are inferior to those obtained in the absence of competition. This result contrasts with the conventional wisdom that competition among employers allocates scarce talent efficiently. In a model in...

Market failures and misallocation

Shenoy, Ajay - 2015

I develop a method to measure and separate the production misallocation caused by failures in factor markets versus … financial markets. When I apply the method to rice farming villages in Thailand I find surprisingly little misallocation …. Optimal reallocation would increase output in most villages by less than 15 percent. By 2006 most misallocation comes from …

Does inflation targeting reduce the dispersion of price setters' inflation expectations?

Paulie, Charlotte - 2018

Using detailed Swedish micro data on prices and costs, this paper documents a decrease in the dispersion of changes in prices and markups following the introduction of an official inflation target of 2 percent. Using a structural model to decompose the change in the price-change distribution by...
