The Impact of Educational Mismatch on Firm Productivity: Evidence from Linked Panel Data
Rycx, Francois; Kampelmann, Stephan - Centre Emile Bernheim, Solvay Brussels School of … - 2012
We provide first evidence regarding the direct impact of educational mismatch on firm productivity. To do so, we rely on representative linked employer-employee panel data for Belgium covering the period 1999-2006. Controlling for simultaneity issues, time-invariant unobserved workplace...

Productivity Gains and Spillovers from Offshoring
Michel, Bernhard; Rycx, Francois - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011
Offshoring is generally believed to be productivity-enhancing and this belief is underpinned by economic theory. This article contributes to the growing literature that tests empirically whether offshoring does indeed help to improve productivity. Estimating the impact of materials and business...

Efficient Inference with Time-Varying Identification Strength
Antoine, Bertille; Boldea, Otilia - Department of Economics, Simon Fraser University - 2014
In the last two decades, there has been a lot of empirical evidence suggesting that many macroeconometric and financial models (e.g. for inflation, interest rates, or exchange rates) are subject to both parameter instability and identification problems. In this paper, we address both issues in a...

On the relevance of weaker instruments
Antoine, Bertille; Renault, Eric - Department of Economics, Simon Fraser University - 2014
specifically, we study the asymptotic properties of the standard GMM estimator and the Hansen J-test when additional moment … restrictions that are weaker than the original ones are available. We show that the consistency of the GMM estimator is not … the efficiency of GMM estimator. Finally, we study the behavior of the Hansen J-test to assess the compatibility between …

Part-time Work, Wages and Productivity: Evidence from Belgian Matched Panel Data
Rycx, Francois; Garnero, Andrea; Kampelmann, Stephan - Centre Emile Bernheim, Solvay Brussels School of … - 2013
The authors use matched employer-employee panel data on Belgian private-sector firms to estimate the relationship between wage/productivity differentials and the firm’s labor composition in terms of part-time and sex. Findings suggest that the groups of women and part-timers generate employer...

The heterogeneous effects of workforce diversity on productivity, wages and profits
Rycx, Francois; Garnero, Andrea - Centre Emile Bernheim, Solvay Brussels School of … - 2013
We estimate the impact of workforce diversity on productivity, wages and productivity-wage gaps (i.e. profits) using detailed Belgian linked employer-employee panel data. Findings, robust to a large set of covariates, specifications and econometric issues, show that educational (age) diversity...
