Labour market polarisation, job tasks and monopsony power
Bachmann, Ronald; Demir, Gökay; Frings, Hanna - 2020
Using a semi-structural approach based on a dynamic monopsony model, we examine to what extent workers performing different job tasks are exposed to different degrees of monopsony power, and whether these differences in monopsony power have changed over the last 30 years. We find that workers...
