A tanulmány három részből áll. Az első rész egy kvázi-keresztmetszeti makromodell segítségével rekonstruálja a cigányság (csaknem) teljes foglalkoztatásának 1984 és 1994 közötti leépülését és a kilencvenes évekre jellemző új foglalkoztatási minta kialakulását. A...

A tanulmány a különböző iskolázottságú és életkorú munkaerőcsoportok piaci értékelésének és termelékenységének alakulását elemzi 1986 és 1999 között egyéni kereseti adatok, valamint (a nagyvállalatokra becsült) termelési függvények segítségével. A béradatok az...

This paper provides some evidence on the existence of the wage curve - the negative relationship between individual wages and the local unemployment rate - within a number of occupations. It exploits the Bank of Italy's Household Survey and draws data from 1977 to 2008. An occupation-level wage...

We ask whether sectoral shocks and the subsequent labor reallocation are responsible for unemployment within selected European economies. Our measure of sectoral labor reallocation is adjusted for aggregate influences and the remaining variation is linked to unemployment in country specific...

This paper studies the effect of graduating from college on lifetime earnings. We develop a quantitative model of college choice with uncertain graduation. Departing from much of the literature, we model in detail how students progress through college. This allows us to parameterize the model...

Inflation-adjusted spending on means-tested subsidies have increased sharply since 2007, and most of this growth was due to changes in eligibility rules, and increases in subsidies per eligible person, rather than increases in the number of people who would have been eligible under pre-recession...
