The Impact of ICT Investments on the Relative Demand for High-, Medium-, and Low-Skilled Workers : Industry Versus Country Analysis

Schneider, Dorothee - 2011

In this paper I analyze the impact of investments into information and communication technology (ICT) on relative … compensation shares of high-, medium-, and low-skilled workers. Next to investigating the influence of ICT in 14 countries, I … explore this impact for 23 industries. I find that the skill-biased technological change hypothesis is rejected if single …

The statutory minimum wage in Germany and the labor demand elasticities of low-skilled workers : a regression discontinuity approach with establishment panel data

Kölling, Arnd - 2020 - This version: October 16th, 2020

This study examines the influence of the statutory minimum wage on labor demand elasticities regarding low-skilled workers. For this, a regression discontinuity analysis is conducted using company panel data from 2013 to 2018. In addition, a possible endogeneity of the remuneration for...

Supply and Demand, Allocation and Wage Inequality : An International Comparison

Dupuy, Arnaud; Borghans, Lex - 2021

In this paper, we develop an allocation model of workers differentiated by their field of study to test whether international differences in the wage structure can be explained by differences in labor demand and supply in each country. The model explicitly takes into account the effects of...

The impact of labour demand shocks when occupational labour supplies are heterogeneous

Böhm, Michael; Etheridge, Ben; Irastorza-Fadrique, Aitor - 2024

We develop a tractable equilibrium model of the labour market, featuring heterogeneous labour supply elasticities across occupations that can be estimated in a baseline period using observed worker flows. We use this model to study the heterogeneous impact of subsequent demand shifts on wages...

The impact of labour demand shocks when occupational labour supplies are heterogeneous

Böhm, Michael; Etheridge, Ben; Irastorza-Fadrique, Aitor - 2025

As technological advances accelerate and labour demands shift, the ability of workers to reallocate across occupations will be crucial for shaping labour market dynamics, inequality, and effective policy design. In this paper, we develop a tractable equilibrium model of the labour market that...

The labor supply curve is upward sloping : the effects of immigrant-induced demand shocks

Galaasen, Sigurd Mølster; Kostøl, Andreas R.; Monras, Joan - 2025

What is the effect of immigration on native labor-market outcomes? An extensive literature identifies the differential impact of immigration on natives employed in jobs that are more exposed to immigrant labor (supply exposure). But immigrants consume in addition to producing output. Despite...

The Impact of Sectoral Segregation on the Earning Differential between Natives and Immigrants in Russia

Polyakova, Evgeniya; Smirnych, L. I. - 2015

Using nationally representative data (RMLS-NRU HSE) from 2004-2012, this paper examines sectoral segregation between immigrant (persons with an immigration background) and native workers and its impact on the earning differential in Russia. This is the first micro-level study in Russia about...

Labor demand and unequal payment : does wage inequality matter? ; analyzing the influence of intra-firm wage dispersion on labor demand with German employer-employee data

Kölling, Arnd - 2014 - This Version: Nov. 11th 2014

This paper examines the relationship between intra-firm wage dispersion and establishments' employment in a theoretical analysis and empirical regressions using German "Linked Employer-Employee Data from the IAB" (LIAB) for the years of 1996 through 2008. Therefore, fractional probit models for...
