Dustmann, Christian; Windmeijer, Frank - 2000
This paper presents a life cycle model for the demand for health, and derives empirical specifications that distinguish between permanent and transitory wage responses. Using panel data, we estimate dynamic health and health input demand equations. We find evidence of negative transitory wage...

Bachmann, Ronald; Felder, Rahel; Tamm, Marcus - 2018
Recent research shows that start-ups are important for job creation, but these firms are also inherently volatile. We use linked employer-employee data to examine the relative importance of firm age and firm size for job creation and destruction in Brazil. Firm age is a more important...

Dustmann, Christian; Kirchkamp, Oliver - 2001
If migrants return to their origin countries, two questions arise which are of immediate economic interest for both immigration and emigration country: What determines their optimal migration duration, and what are the activities migrants choose after a return. Little research has been devoted...

A structural approach to estimating the effect of taxation on the labor market dynamics of older workers
Haan, Peter; Prowse, Victoria - 2009
We estimate a dynamic structural life-cycle model of employment, non-employment and retirement that includes endogenous accumulation of human capital and intertemporal non-separabilities in preferences. Additionally, the model accounts for the effect of the tax and transfer system on work...
