Bankruptcy and Voluntary Liquidation: Evidence for New Firms in East and West Germany after Unification
Prantl, Susanne - 2003
Exploiting the unique economic situation after German unification, I investigate how exit decisions deviate between new firms in a transition and a comparatively stable market environment. Two competing exit mechanisms are considered: entrepreneurial self-selection via voluntary liquidation and...

Bayesian estimation of Cox model with non-nested random effects: an application to the ratification of ILO conventions by developing countries
Horney, Guillaume; Boockmann, Bernhard; Djurdjevic, Dragana - 2005
We use a multivariate hazard model for the analysis of data on the timing of ratifications of different conventions. The model accounts for two random effects, one at the country level and the other at the convention level. We use a semi-parametric Bayesian approach, based on the partial...

Fixed-term Contracts as Sorting Mechanisms: Evidence From Job Durations in West Germany
Boockmann, Bernhard; Hagen, Tobias - 2005
We estimate the effect of initial episodes under fixed-term contracts (FTCs) on job duration in the further course of the employment spell, using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from 1985 to 2002. Using a statistical matching approach, we find that job exit rates are initially...

Productivity and distribution effects of codetermination in an efficient bargaining
Kraft, Kornelius - 2017
affect the efficiency of production and the bargaining power of labor. Based on a model that covers both efficient bargaining … and employment bargaining a simple equation is derived that is suited to empirical testing. The empirical test is based on … the productivity of labor and relative bargaining power of capital and labor. It turns out that codetermination does not …

Unemployment Durations in West-Germany Before and After the Reform of the Unemployment Compensation System During the 1980s
Fitzenberger, Bernd; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2004
This paper empirically analyzes the distribution of unemployment durations in West- Germany before and after the changes during the mid 1980s in the maximum entitlement periods for unemployment benefits for elderly unemployed. The analysis is based on the comprehensive IAB employment subsample...

Unemployment Duration and the Length of Entitlement Periods for Unemployment Benefits: Do the IAB Employment Subsample and the German Socio-Economic Panel Yield the Same Results?
Biewen, Martin; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2005
We compare information on the length of unemployment spells contained in the IAB employment subsample (IABS) and in the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). Due to the lack of information on registered unemployment in the IABS, we use two proxies of unemployment in the IABS as introduced by...

The ratification of ILO conventions: a failure time analysis
Boockmann, Bernhard - 2000
There are over 180 ILO conventions in many areas of labour law, industrial relations and social security, but they are not ratified universally: for the conventions adopted between 1975 and 1995, the cumulated probability of ratification is about 13 per cent ten years after their adoption. In...
