What puts productivity spillovers into effect through worker mobility across firms? Productivity difference between the sending and receiving firms have been found to drive these spillovers; while an alternative explanation suggests that labor flows from foreign-owned companies provide...

Drawing on an unusually large set of employer-employee data, we examine how workers’ pay is related to the educational composition within their occupational group. We find that educational composition as measured by the educational diversity and the educational level of an occupational group...

We analyse a model in which (1) managers require experience in order to be productive; (2) providing managers with experience is costly and noncontractible. We demonstrate that if there is an increase in the mobility of managers, there may be a free-riding problem, in that each firm has too...

This study examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on local firms' productivity via human capital transfer from MNEs to local firms. Using the firm-level data for 2010-2015 from the Republic of Korea, we identify human capital spillovers using local firms' hired permanent foreign...

The paper addresses the link between productivity and labour mobility. The hypothesis tested is that technology is transmitted across industries through the movement of skilled workers embodying human capital. The embodied knowledge is then diffused within the new environment creating spillovers...
