Morkutė, Gintarė - 2016

Firm Specific Human Capital Vs. Job Matching : A New Test

Stevens, John J.; Quintin, Erwan - 2003

We use a unique data set on employee turnover by industry in Arizona to test competing theories of turnover. We find that industries with lower establishment survival rates have more employee turnover, even after controlling for differences in the distribution of employee tenure. This result is...

Skill mismatch and the costs of job displacement

Neffke, Frank; Nedelkoska, Ljubica; Wiederhold, Simon - Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle - 2023

When workers are displaced from their jobs in mass layoffs or firm closures, they experience lasting adverse labor market consequences. We study how these consequences vary with the amount of skill mismatch that workers experience when returning to the labor market. Using novel measures of skill...

Raising the Bar for Models of Turnover

Quintin, Erwan; Stevens, John J. - 2005

It is well known that turnover rates fall with employee tenure and employer size. We document a new empirical fact about turnover: Among surviving employers, separation rates are positively related to industry-level exit rates, even after controlling for tenure and size. Specifically, in a...

Growing Old Together : Firm Survival and Employee Turnover

Quintin, Erwan; Stevens, John J. - 2005

Labor market outcomes such as turnover and earnings are correlated with employer characteristics, even after controlling for observable differences in worker characteristics. We argue that this systematic relationship constitutes strong evidence in favor of models where workers choose how much...
