We estimate a model of the joint participation and mobility along with the individuals’ wage formation in France. Our model makes it possible to distinguish between unobserved person heterogeneity and state-dependence. We estimate the model using state of the art bayesian methods employing a...

In this paper, we expand on the seminal work of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R4">Altonji and Shakotko (1987)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R38">Topel (1991)</xref> and reinvestigate the returns to seniority in the United States. We begin with the same wage equation as in previous studies. We extend the model of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R25">Hyslop (1999)</xref> and explicitly model the...
