Bachmann, Ronald (contributor) - 2005
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of labour market dynamics in Western Ger- many by looking at gross worker flows. To do so, we use a subsample of the registry data collected by the German social security system, the IAB employment sample, for the time period 1975-2001. The...

Brändle, Tobias; Grunau, Philipp; Haylock, Michael Robert - 2020
In economics, the recruitment process of firms is largely treated as a black box. To shed light on this process, we use … across establishments relating to size, ownership, sector, and unobserved heterogeneity. Firms’ recruitment strategies have … sizeable effects on the composition of worker productivity, worker-firm match quality, the number of open vacancies, as well as …

The importance of two-sided heterogeneity for the cyclicality of labour market dynamics
Bachmann, Ronald; Bechara, Peggy - 2018
Using administrative data on individual workers' employment history and firms, we investigate the cyclicality of worker flows on the German labour market. Focusing on heterogeneities on both sides of the labour market, we find that small firms hire much more workers from unemployment than large...

Brenzel, Hanna; Gartner, Hermann; Schnabel, Claus - 2013
Using a representative establishment dataset, this paper is the first to analyze the incidence of wage posting and wage bargaining in the matching process from the employer's side. We show that both modes of wage determination coexist in the German labor market, with about two-thirds of hirings...

Conditional patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany : conference paper
Nordmeier, Daniela; Weber, Enzo - 2013
This paper studies the conditional patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany. We employ a structural VAR model and identify a technology shock and two policy shocks by using standard restrictions. Interestingly, the worker reallocation process varies substantially with the identified shocks....

Business cycle asymmetries and the labor market
Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian - 2016 - First version: April 2015. This version: February 2016
This paper shows that the matching function and the Beveridge curve in the United States exhibit strong nonlinearities over the business cycle. These patterns can be replicated by enhancing a search and matching model with idiosyncratic productivity shocks for new contacts. Large negative...
