It is often argued that a mandatory minimum wage is binding only if the wage density displays a spike at it. In this paper we analyze a model with search frictions and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after imposition, the...

In labor markets with worker and firm heterogeneity, the matching between firms and workers may be assortative, meaning …-employee data from Portugal. Using dynamic panel data methods, we quantify a firm-specific productivity term for each firm, and we … relate this to the skill distribution of workers in the firm. We find that there is positive assortative matching, in …

We provide first evidence regarding the direct impact of educational mismatch on firm productivity. To do so, we rely … productivity, we find that: i) a higher level of required education exerts a significantly positive influence on firm productivity …, ii) additional years of over-education (both among young and older workers) are beneficial for firm productivity, and iii …
