Job flows are typically defined on the basis of the employment changes at the plant level. When calculated in this way, the job creation rate was 22.4% and destruction rate 23.8% in the Finnish business sector in the four-year period 2000-2004. However, when the different occupations (using...

This paper analyzes the impact of formal training on worker mobility. Using data from the Swiss Labor Force Survey, we find that on-the-job search activities and, to a smaller extent, actual job separations are significantly affected by both employer-provided and general training. Moreover,...

We make several findings related to the dynamics of labour markets and industry life cycles in our analysis, which makes use of longitudinal employer-employee data that cover the whole working age population in Finland. Firstly, we find that across industry transitions of the employed are...

We analyze the effects of increased immigration of foreign workers on the unionization rates of native workers in Austrian firms over the period 2002-2012. Our results suggest that lower union density of natives' in firms with more foreign workers is driven not by natives leaving unions, but by...

We analyze the effects of increased immigration of foreign workers on the union- ization rates of native workers in Austrian firms over the period 2002-2012. Our results suggest that lower union density of natives' in firms with more foreign workers is driven not by natives leaving unions, but...

We study whether older workers are costly to firms. Our estimation equations are derived from a variant of the decomposition methods frequently used for measuring micro-level sources of industry productivity growth. By using comprehensive linked employer-employee data from the Finnish business...

Linked employer-employee data from the Finnish business sector is used in an analysis of worker turnover. The data is an unbalanced panel with over 219 000 observations in the years 1991-97. The churning (excess worker turnover), worker inflow (hiring), and worker outflow (separation) rates are...
