This paper studies occupational mobility of ethnic German migrants who have entered Germany since 1984. The empirical analysis suggests significant differences in the probability of downward occupational mobility by gender, immigration status, and schooling levels. In general, migrants with...

This paper uses a German employer-employee matched panel data set to investigate the effect of organizational and technological changes on gross job and worker flows. The empirical results indicate that organizational change is skill-biased because it reduces predominantly net employment growth...

It is well known that, unless worker-firm match quality is controlled for, returns to firm tenure (RTT) estimated directly via reduced form wage (Mincer) equations will be biased. In this paper we argue that even if match quality is properly controlled for there is a further pervasive source of...

This paper describes the updated version of the Administrative Wage and Labor Market Flow Panel (AWFP, v1.1). The AWFP is a dataset on labor market flows and stocks for the universe of German establishments covering the years 1975-2014. It contains data on job flows, worker flows, and wages for...

This paper describes the new Administrative Wage and Labor Market Flow Panel (AWFP). The AWFP is a dataset on labor market flows and stocks for the universe of German estab-lishments. It contains data on job flows, worker flows, and about wages for each establishment. The AWFP contains this...

We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975–2014. We find that worker turnover moves more procyclical than job turnover. This procyclical worker churn takes place along the entire employment...

We study the relationship between employment growth and worker flows in excess of job flows (churn) at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975-2014. Churn is above 5 percent of employment along the entire employment growth distribution and most pronounced at...
