The returns to entrepreneurship : evidence from matched person-firm data

Praag, Mirjam van; Raknerud, Arvid - 2017

Empirical studies show low pecuniary returns of switching from wage employment to entrepreneurship. We reconsider the pecuniary gains of this switching by employing a two-stage procedure, where the randomness in the timing of inheritance transfers is used as an exclusion restriction to identify...

Using the Helmert-transformation to reduce dimensionality in a mixed model : application to a wage equation with worker and firm heterogeneity

Nilsen, Øivind Anti; Raknerud, Arvid; Skjerpen, Terje - 2011

A model for matched data with two types of unobserved heterogeneity is considered - one related to the observation unit, the other to units to which the observation units are matched. One or both of the unobserved components are assumed to be random. This mixed model allows identification of the...

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...

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - 2017

Researchers contributing to the empirical rent-sharing literature have typically resorted to estimating the responsiveness of workers' wages on firms' ability to pay in order to assess the extent to which employers share rents with their employees. This paper compares rent-sharing estimates...
