Ramos, Carlos Alberto; Carneiro, Francisco Galrão - In: Nova Economia 12 (2002) 2, pp. 31-56

The article discusses the determinants of labour turnover in Brazil. We contrast the view suggesting that severance … payments (FGTS) induce labour turnover with arguments suggesting that turnover rates are a function of the characteristics of … supply and demand for labour in Brazil.

The decline in job-to-job flows

Hyatt, Henry R. - In: IZA World of Labor (2015)

As part of a more general process of employment reallocation from less to more productive employers, job-to-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...

Productivity insurance: The role of unemployment benefits in a multi-sector model

Fuller, David L.; Kudlyak, Marianna; Lkhagvasuren, Damba - In: Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 47 (2014) C, pp. 39-53

We construct a multi-sector search and matching model where the unemployed receives idiosyncratic productivity shocks that make working in certain sectors more productive than in the others. Agents must decide which sector to search in and face moving costs when leaving their current sector for...

Le marché du travail dans la crise : un cadrage statistique

Marchand, Olivier; Minni, Claude - In: Revue de l'OFCE n° 115 (2010) 4, pp. 63-80

The economic crisis of 2008-2009, the most important that France knew since the Second world war, had a significant impact on the employment situation but, in relation with the fall of the production, the observed destructions of jobs were less large this time than during the recession of...

Fixed-term employment contracts in an equilibrium search model

Alvarez, Fernando; Veracierto, Marcelo - In: Journal of Economic Theory 147 (2012) 5, pp. 1725-1753

We develop a theoretical model of firm dynamics and unemployment and characterize equilibria with tenure dependent separation taxes. The model is a version of the Lucas and Prescott island model with undirected search. Two equivalent decentralizations are considered: one with spot labor markets...

Efficiency wages: Variants and implications

Schlicht, Ekkehart - In: IZA World of Labor (2016)

Higher wages increase labor costs but also improve the productivity of the labor force in several ways. If firms take this into account and set their wages accordingly, the resulting wages could fail to adjust demand and supply but may induce phenomena like over-education, discrimination,...

Watch your workers win: Changing job demands and HRM responses

Haywood, Luke - In: Management Revue 22 (2011) 1, pp. 47-64

This paper considers how the demand for non-material aspects of jobs evolves over changing wealth levels and how firms may want to react. We first consider the importance of non-material job aspects in general before turning to two specific human resource practices: flexible working hour...

The 2012 social balance sheet

Heuse, P. - In: Economic Review (2013) III, pp. 101-137

A new form introduced in 2012 for firms and associations filing full-format accounts paved the way for a new kind of analysis, such that a distinction could be made between the situations of women and men employed by these firms. A population of 8 862 firms formed the basis for assessing the...

The composition of wage differentials between migrants and natives

Nanos, Panagiotis; Schluter, Christian - In: European Economic Review 65 (2014) C, pp. 23-44

We consider the role of unobservables, such as differences in search frictions, reservation wages, and productivities for the explanation of wage differentials between migrants and natives. We disentangle these by estimating an empirical general equilibrium search model with on-the-job search...
