Firm Dynamics, Job Turnover, and Wage Distributions in an Open Economy

Cosar, A. Kerem; Guner, Nezih; Tybout, James - 2013

This paper explores the combined effects of reductions in trade frictions, tariffs, and firing costs on firm dynamics, job turnover, and wage distributions. It uses establishment-level data from Colombia to estimate an open economy dynamic model that links trade to job flows in a new way. The...

Firm Dynamics and Residual Inequality in Open Economies

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Impullitti, Giammario; Prat, Julien - 2014

Increasing wage inequality between similar workers plays an important role for overall inequality trends in … trade with heterogeneous firms and homogeneous workers. Wage inequality across and within firms results from their different … Hartz labor market reforms account for the sharp increase in residual inequality observed in the data. By contrast …

Structural Estimation of Search Intensity: Do Non-Employed Workers Search Enough?

Wolthoff, Ronald; Gautier, Pieter A.; Moraga-González, … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

Wage Employment, Unemployment and Self-Employment across Countries

Poschke, Markus - 2023

Poor countries have low wage employment and high self-employment. This paper shows that they also have high unemployment relative to wage employment, and that self-employment increases with this ratio. To understand the sources of these patterns, I build a search and matching model with choice...

An empirical model of growth through product innovation

Lentz, Rasmus; Mortensen, Dale T. - 2005

Productivity dispersion across firms is large and persistent, and worker reallocation among firms is an important source of productivity growth. The purpose of the paper is to estimate the structure of an equilibrium model of growth through innovation that explains these facts. The model is a...

Firm Dynamics with Frictional Product and Labor Markets

Kaas, Leo; Kimasa, Bihemo - 2018

This paper analyzes the joint dynamics of prices, output and employment across firms. We develop a dynamic equilibrium model of heterogeneous firms who compete for workers and customers in frictional labor and product markets. Idiosyncratic productivity and demand shocks have distinct...

Employment Protection, Firm Selection, and Growth

Poschke, Markus - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

This paper analyzes the effect of firing costs on aggregate productivity growth. For this purpose, a model of endogenous growth through selection and imitation is developed. It is consistent with recent evidence on firm dynamics and on the importance of reallocation for productivity growth. In...
