Higher wages in exporting firms: self-selection, export effect, or both? : first evidence from German linked employer-employee data
Schank, Thorsten (contributor); Schnabel, Claus (contributor) - 2008
While it is a stylized fact that exporting firms pay higher wages than non-exporting firms, the direction of the link between exporting and wages is less clear. Using a rich set of German linked employer-employee panel data we follow over time plants that start to export. We show that the...

Addison, John T.; Schank, Thorsten; Schnabel, Claus; … - In: Schmollers Jahrbuch : journal of contextual economics 126 (2006) 2, pp. 251-283
This paper uses data from a nationally representative panel of establishments to estimate the effects of German works councils on firm performance, 1997 - 2000. We analyze the impact of this institution on sales and sales growth using OLC and fixed effect estimates of a translog production...

High wage workers match with high wage firms : clear evidence of the effects of limited mobility bias
Andrews, Martyn J.; Gill, Leonard; Schank, Thorsten; … - 2012
Positive assortative matching implies that high productivity workers and firms match together. However, there is almost no evidence of a positive correlation between the worker and firm contributions in two-way fixed-effects wage equations. This could be the result of a bias caused by standard...

German works councils in the production process
Addison, John T.; Schank, Thorsten; Schnabel, Claus; … - 2003
We estimate the effects of works councils on productivity, 1997-2000, using the IAB Establishment Panel, a nationally representative German data set. We recoup the works council effect by estimating translog production functions, stochastic frontier production functions, and a model in first...
