Tenure profiles and efficient separation in a stochastic productivity model
Buhai, I. Sebastian; Teulings, Coen N. - 2006
This paper provides a new way of analyzing tenure profiles in wages, by modelling simultaneously the evolution of wages and the distribution of tenures. We develop a theoretical model based on efficient bargaining, where both log outside wage and log wage in the current job follow a random walk,...

Beschäftigungsanpassung in deutschen Betrieben: Flexibler als gedacht?
Upward, Richard; Gerner, Hans-Dieter; Bellmann, Lutz - In: Journal for Labour Market Research 47 (2014) 1-2, pp. 71-81
The relationship between the dynamics of employment on the one side and hirings and separations on the other side is crucial for the dynamics of unemployment and the labour market response to recessions. Although the average level of hiring and separation is much lower in Germany than in the US,...
