This paper proposes a new measure of gender differences in access to jobs based on a job assignment model. This measure is the probability ratio of getting a job for females and males at each rank of the wage ladder. We derive a non-parametric estimator of this access measure and estimate it for...

Dynamic monopsony : evidence from a French establishment panel

Fakhfakh, Fathi (contributor); FitzRoy, Felix R. (contributor) - 2005

This paper uses a panel of about 6000 French establishments to test some implications of the modern theory of dynamic monopsony or upward sloping labour supply curves for average firm wages. Panel estimates provide strong evidence of a much larger long run employer size - wage effect (ESWE) than...

Differences in positions along a hierarchy : counterfactuals based on an assignment model

Gobillon, Laurent; Meurs, Dominique; Roux, Sébastien - 2017

We propose an assignment model in which positions along a hierarchy are attributed to individuals depending on their characteristics. Our theoretical framework can be used to study differences in assignment and outcomes across groups and we show how it can motivate decomposition and...

Do firms really share rents with their workers?

Margolis, David N.; Salvanes, Kjell G. - 2001

We use matched firm-worker panel data from France and Norway to consider observationally equivalent alternatives to the hypothesis that firms share product market rents with their workers in the form of higher wages. After documenting the main stylized facts, we find that neither the main...
