Ob und wie lange Jugendliche nach Abschluß ihrer Lehre weiterhin im Ausbildungsbetrieb arbeiten, ist eine Fragestellung, deren Beantwortung für das Verständnis des Arbeitsmarktes in mehrfacher Hinsicht von Nutzen sein kann. Zum einen liefern Abgänge aus dem Ausbildungsbetrieb ohne...

Based on theoretical models of job mobility this paper provides an empirical analysis of job durations in West Germany using information from two cohorts of new entrants to the labor force. We adopt an accelerated failure time model allowing for unobserved heterogeneity. Thereby we combine the...

There has been a shift in the U.S. job tenure distribution toward longer-duration jobs since 2000. This change is apparent both in the tenure supplements to the Current Population Survey and the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics matched employer-employee data. A substantial portion of...

This paper updates previous Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) publications that have examined employee tenure data of American workers. The latest data on employee tenure from the January 2008 Supplement to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS) are examined and...

This paper combines two strains of the literature on the employment effects of deferred compensation. The first strain separates seniority and job matching wage effects on the basis of individual data, but can not look at employment consequences. The second strain explains the employment...

This paper considers the optimal level of firm-specific training by taking into account the positive effect of training on the expected duration of workers current employment. In the framework of an efficiency wage model, a short expected job tenure represents a disamenity that reduces the...

We estimate a model of the joint participation and mobility along with the individuals' wage formation in France. Our model makes it possible to distinguish between unobserved person heterogeneity and state-dependence. We estimate the model using state of the art Bayesian methods employing a...
