Individual Pay and Outside Options: Evidence from the Polish Labour Force Survey

Duffy, Fiona; Walsh, Patrick Paul - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2001

Using Polish Labour Force Survey data, we examine whether competition for labour has induced individual pay to depend on outside options, availability and quality of jobs. Exploiting the lack of inter-regional job and worker flows we estimate the elasticity of individual pay, amongst a rich set...

Lazear, Edward P. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003

Some have observed that individuals perform worse after being promoted. The Peter Principle, which states that people are promoted to their level of incompetence, suggests that something is fundamentally misaligned in the promotion process. This view is unnecessary and inconsistent with the...
