Decomposing the large firm wage premium in Germany
Lochner, Benjamin; Seth, Stefan; Wolter, Stefanie - 2020
We use an extensive,matched employer-employee dataset to analyze the employer-size wage relation and its contribution to wage inequality in Germany. Applying models with additive fixed effects for workers and establishments, we document that the large firm wage premium, which has risen over 25...

The effects of high-skilled immigration policy on firms : evidence from visa lotteries
Doran, Kirk B.; Gelber, Alexander M.; Isen, Adam - 2022
We compare winning and losing firms in lotteries for H-1B visas, matching administrative data on these lotteries to administrative tax data on U.S. firms and to approved U.S. patents. Winning one additional H-1B visa crowds out about 1.5 other workers at the firm. Additional H-1Bs have...

Clustering life trajectories : a new divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm for discrete-valued discrete time series
Dlugosz, Stephan - 2011
A new algorithm for clustering life course trajectories is presented and tested with large register data. Life courses are represented as sequences on a monthly timescale for the working-life with an age span from 16–65. A meaningful clustering result for this kind of data provides interesting...

Infinite portfolio strategies
LeRoy, Stephen F. - In: Contemporary economics 6 (2012) 4, pp. 54-60
In continuous-time stochastic calculus a limit in probability is used to extend the definition of the stochastic integral to the case where the integrand is not square-integrable at the endpoint of the time interval under consideration. When the extension is applied to portfolio strategies,...

Infinite Portfolio Strategies
Leroy, Stephen F. - 2013
In continuous-time stochastic calculus a limit in probability is used to extend the definition of the stochastic integral to the case where the integrand is not square-integrable at the endpoint of the time interval under consideration. When the extension is applied to portfolio strategies,...

Optimal Investment Policy : An Application of Stokes' Theorem
Sethi, Suresh - 2014
An application of the Stokes' theorem is illustrated by solving the two state problem, with inequality constraints, of Dobell and Ho concerning the optimal investment of resources. Whenever applicable, the Stokes' theorem approach seems to be elegant and parsimonious

Decomposing Changes in the Distribution of Real Hourly Wages in the U.S.
Fernández-Val, Iván; Peracchi, Franco; Vella, Francis; … - 2019
We analyze the sources of changes in the distribution of hourly wages in the United States using CPS data for the … annual hours of work and estimating a nonseparable model of wages which uses a control function to account for selection … distribution. We decompose changes in the distribution of wages into composition, structural and selection effects. Composition …
