The Intergenerational Overlap and Human Capital Formation
Stark, Oded; Wang, Yong - Department of Economics and Finance Research and … - 2004

Stark, Oded; Hyll, Walter - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 105 (2014) C, pp. 173-177

The prospect of migration, sticky wages, and 'educated unemployment'
Fan, C. Simon; Stark, Oded - Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät, … - 2011
