In this study, we develop an alternative modelling that examines a) the determinants of firm productivity and wages and …-employee dataset, our estimates indicate that an additional hour of training per worker results in an increase of 0.12% in productivity … then find that 82% of the gains in productivity are captured by firms and 18% by workers. Given the training costs, we …

In this study, we investigate the impact of the share of the foreign labor force on the wage of native workers in Portugal between 2010 and 2019 using linked employer-employee data from Quadros de Pessoal. By leveraging job characteristics from the O*NET skill taxonomy, we create more...

This study provides updated evidence on the union contract differential in Germany using establishment-wide wage data and two estimation strategies. It provides pairwise estimates of the union differential based on separate samples of collective bargaining leavers and joiners vis-à-vis the...
