Earnings dynamics, foreign workers and the stability of inequality trends in Luxembourg 1988-2009

Denisa, SOLOGON; Philippe, VAN KERM - Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research … - 2014

This paper exploits a large-scale administrative dataset to document trends in male earnings inequality in Luxembourg over twenty years of rapid economic growth. A detailed error components model is estimated to identify persistent and transitory components of log hourly earnings variance. Given...

Earnings Dynamics of Men and Women in Finland: Permanent Inequality versus Earnings Instability

Kässi, Otto - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011

I decompose the variance of earnings of Finnish male and female workers to its permanent and transitory components and study their evolution between the years 1998 and 2007. I find that the increasing earnings inequality of men and women is driven by both transitory and permanent components of...

Identification of the covariance structure of earnings using the GMM estimator

Doris, Aedín; O'Neill, Donal; Sweetman, Olive - 2010

In this paper we study the performance of the GMM estimator in the context of the covariance structure of earnings. Using analytical and Monte Carlo techniques we examine the sensitivity of parameter identification to key features such as panel length, sample size, the degree of persistence of...

GMMCOVEARN: A Stata Module for GMM Estimation of the Covariance Structure of Earnings

Doris, Aedin; O'Neill, Donal; Sweetman, Olive - Department of Economics, National University of Ireland - 2010

This note describes and illustrates a new Stata program, gmmcovearn, that estimates the covariance structure of earnings for a variety of models using the GMM estimator. The program estimates models that incorporate time factor loadings and cohort factor loadings on both the transitory and...

Aggregate Earnings Inequality in Europe: Permanent Differences or Transitory Fluctuations?

Doris, Aedin; O'Neill, Donal; Sweetman, Olive - Department of Economics, National University of Ireland - 2010

This paper examines the relationship between aggregate inequality and its underlying components for a number of European countries. We use a well established GMM approach to separate the permanent component from the transitory component of earnings inequality. Our results show that three...

Earnings dynamics and inequality in the EU, 1994-2001

Denisa, SOLOGON; O’DONOGHUE Cathal - Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research … - 2010

Relying on a consistent cross-national comparative data set – ECHP, we explore the extent to which changes in cross-sectional earnings inequality in 14 EU countries over the period 1994 and 2001 reflect an increase in lifetime earnings inequality or in earnings instability. Equally weighted...

Does growth affect the nature of inequality? Ireland 1994 -2001

Doris, Aedín; O'Neill, Donal; Sweetman, Olive - 2008

Much has been written about the relationship between economic growth and aggregate inequality in recent years. In this paper we extend this literature by examining whether economic growth affects, not the level, but rather the nature of inequality. To do this we focus on the Irish economy which...
