Using two data sets derived from German administrative data, including a linked employer-employee data set, we investigate the cyclicality of worker and job ʿows. The analysis stresses the importance of two-sided labour market heterogeneity in this context, taking into account both observed and...

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 mainly unemployed workers, and that they do so...

This paper studies the role of job-to-job transitions in driving unemployment dynamics. Three stylized facts emerge from applying and extending a well-known stocks-flows based decomposition to the UK and US labour markets for the past two decades. First, the variations in the job-to-job...

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...

I study the long-term effects of landing a first job at a large firm versus a small one using Spanish social security data. Size could be a relevant employer attribute for inexperienced workers since large firms are associated with greater training, higher wages, and enhanced productivity. The...

As part of a more general process of employment reallocation from less to more productive employers, jobto- job flows tend to be beneficial for productivity and for workers. Thus, when this rate slows, it is important to understand why. In the US, for example, the job-to-job flow rate is now at...

This paper analyses the hiring and separation rates in Tunisia before and after the Arab Spring of 2011. Several models are specified to study employment decisions based on quarterly administrative firm level data over the period of 2007 to 2012. The data provides information about important...
