Combining this experiment with high frequency panel data on wages and individual work decisions, we … document how labor supply responds to exogenous changes in expected market wages in a setting with virtually no restrictions on …

How much should we trust estimates of firm effects and worker sorting?
Bonhomme, Stéphane; Holzheu, Kerstin; Lamadon, Thibaut; … - 2021
Many studies use matched employer-employee data to estimate a statistical model of earnings determination where log-earnings are expressed as the sum of worker effects, firm effects, covariates, and idiosyncratic error terms. Estimates based on this model have produced two influential yet...

Inequality in current and lifetime income
Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2012
Standard theory of intertemporal choice predicts that people smooth out life-cycle changes in income by borrowing and saving, such that their standard of living in any given year depends more on lifetime income than on that year’s income. Yet, contemporary empirical studies of income...

Robust Inequality Comparisons
Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such situations Aaberge (2009) introduced two...

Broadband Internet: An Information Superhighway to Sex Crime?
Bhuller, Manudeep; Havnes, Tarjei; Leuven, Edwin; … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011
Does internet use trigger sex crime? We use unique Norwegian data on crime and internet adoption to shed light on this question. A public program with limited funding rolled out broadband access points in 2000-2008, and provides plausibly exogenous variation in internet use. Our instrumental...
