We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975–2014. We find that worker turnover moves more procyclical than job turnover. This procyclical worker churn takes place along the entire employment...

We study the relationship between employment growth and worker flows in excess of job flows (churn) at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975-2014. Churn is above 5 percent of employment along the entire employment growth distribution and most pronounced at...

We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the plant level using a new data set spanning from 1976-2006. We find that procyclical labor demand explains relatively little of procyclical worker flows. Instead, all plants in the employment growth distribution increase their...

Wir dokumentieren, basierend auf administrativen Daten, dass in ostdeutschen Betrieben - im Vergleich zu westdeutschen - die Löhne mit der Größe der Betriebe stärker steigen, dass ostdeutsche Betriebe weniger in Marketing investieren, kleiner bleiben und im Durchschnitt niedrigere Löhne...
