Does wage rigidity really exist? : new evidence from US panel data
Blanckenburg, Korbinian von; Geist, Alexander; Schmidt, … - 2009
Downward nominal wage rigidity (DNWR) could prevent real wage adjustments in times of low inflation rates. Nominal wage rigidity based on annual wages can at least be reduced, if the number of working hours is considered. This leads to a lower degree of DNWR in hourly wage changes. In this...

Worker Flows and Wage Dynamics : Estimating Wage Growth Without Composition Effects
Carrasco, Raquel; García Pérez, J. Ignacio; Jimeno, … - 2021
Wage dynamics is closely intertwined with job flows. However, composition effects associated to the different sizes and characteristics of workers entering/ exiting into/from employment that may blur the "true" underlying wage growth, are not typically accounted for. In this paper, we take these...

Mergers and Managers : Manager-Specific Wage Premiums and Rent Extraction in M&As
He, Alex Xi - 2020
This paper shows that some managers systematically pay higher wages to rank-and-file workers and these managers are targets of M&As. We use a manager-firm-worker matched dataset covering the entire population of Denmark from 1995 to 2011, and develop a novel framework to identify manager fixed...

Optimal quota for sector-specific immigration
Mayr, Karin - 2008
Sectoral labor supply shortage is a cause of concern in many OECD countries and has raised support for immigration as a potential remedy. In this paper, we derive a general equilibrium model with overlapping generations, where natives require a compensating wage differential for working in one...

A Theory of Dual Job Search and Sex-Based Occupational Clustering
Benson, Alan - 2014
I present a theory of couples' job search whereby women sort into lower-paying geographically-dispersed occupations due to expectations of future spouses' geographically-clustered occupations and (thereby) inability to relocate for work. Results confirm men segregate into...

Wage Distribution and the Spatial Sorting of Workers and Firms
Matano, Alessia - 2010
Spatial sorting plays an important role in accounting for disparities in average wages among locations. This paper shows that sorting also matters when addressing the relation between spatial externalities and wage distribution, i.e. across workers located at different percentiles of the wage...
