Task-Biased Changes of Employment and Remuneration: The Case of Occupations

Kampelmann, Stephan; Rycx, Francois - 2011

Different empirical studies suggest that the structure of employment in the U.S. and Great Britain tends to polarise into "good" and "bad" jobs. We provide updated evidence that polarisation also occurred in Germany since the mid-1980s until 2008. Using representative panel data, we show that...

Technological progress, occupational structure, and gender gaps in the German labour market

Kropfhäußer, Frieder; Sunder, Marco - 2014

We estimate the relationship between changes in the body mass index (bmi) and wages or satisfaction, respectively, in a panel of German employees. In contrast to previous literature, the dynamic models indicate that there is an inverse u-shaped association between bmi and wages among young...
