The effects of labor income risk heterogeneity on the marginal propensity to consume

Savoia, Ettore - 2023

Using detailed micro-data, this paper documents that households with lower income risk (and higher income levels …) exhibit a higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) in response to transitory income shocks, all else being equal.

In this study we investigate the minimum wage (MW) effects for a German sub-construction sector where the MW bites extraordinary hard by international standards. Within a quasi-experiment we estimate the Quantile Treatment Effects of the MW on the conditional and unconditional distribution of...

When the Minimum Wage Really Bites Hard : Impact on Top Earners and Skill Supply

Gregory, Terry - 2020

We investigate minimum wage spillovers by exploiting the first-time introduction of a minimum wage within a quasi-experiment in a context with an extraordinary large bite: the German roofing industry. We find positive wage spillovers for medium-skilled workers with wages just above the minimum...

The Returns to Continuous Training in Germany : New Evidence from Propensity Score Matching Estimators

Mühler, Grit - 2008

The present paper examines the wage effects of continuous training programs using individual-level data from the German Socio Economic Panel (GSOEP). In order to account for selectivity in training participation we estimate average treatment effects (ATE and ATT) of general and firm-specific...

Heterogeneous Returns to Training an Analysis with German Data Using Local Instrumental Variables

Kuckulenz, Anja - 2018

Empirical work on the wage impact of training has noted that unobserved heterogeneity of training participants should play a role. The expected return to training, which partly depends on unobservable characteristics, is likely to be a crucial criterion in the decision to take part in training...
