Equilibrium worker-firm allocations and the deadweight losses of taxation
Bagger, Jesper; Moen, Espen R.; Vejlin, Rune Majlund - 2021
We analyse the deadweight losses of tax-induced labor misallocation in an equilibrium model of the labour market where workers search to climb a job ladder and firms post vacancies. Workers differ in abilities. Jobs differ in productivities and amenities. A planner uses affine tax functions to...

Using the National Compensation Survey between 2004-2017, we document three stylized facts and quantify cyclical heterogeneity among performance pay and fixed wage jobs. First, there is substantial dispersion in the incidence of performance pay, even within the same occupation; hourly...

Back-Loaded Wages and On-the-Job Training in a Frictional Labor Market
Sim, Seung-Gyu - 2019
This paper analyzes the coexistence of on-the-job (general) training and on-the-job search in a frictional labor market where firms post skill-dependent labor contracts to preemptively back-load compensation after training. The back-loaded compensation scheme discourages trained workers'...

Testing for Asymmetric Employer Learning and Statistical Discrimination
Ge, Suqin - 2020
We test if firms statistically discriminate workers based on race when em- ployer learning is asymmetric. Using data from the NLSY79, we find evidence of asymmetric employer learning. In addition, employers statistically discrimi- nate against non-college educated black workers at time of...

Testing for asymmetric employer learning and statistical discrimination
Ge, Suqin; Moro, Andrea; Zhu, Beibei - 2020
We test if firms statistically discriminate workers based on race when employer learning is asymmetric. Using data from the NLSY79, we find evidence of asymmetric employer learning. In addition, employers statistically discriminate against non-college educated black workers at time of hiring. We...

Business taxation and wages : redistribution and asymmetric effects
Bauer, Thomas K.; Kasten, Tanja; Siemers, Lars - 2017 - This version: July 2017
Empirical evidence on the degree of business-tax shifting is rare. It remains open to which extent the tax burden is shifted, whether there are differences for tax increases and decreases, or whether there exists some treatment heterogeneity. Using a large administrative panel data set, we...
