Unionization, stochastic dominance, and compression of the wage distribution : evidence from Germany
Burda, Michael C.; Fitzenberger, Bernd; Lembcke, Alexander - 2008
This paper establishes theoretical and empirical linkages between union wage setting and the structure of the wage distribution. Theoretically, we identify conditions under which a right-to-manage model implies compression of the wage distribution in the union sector relative to the nonunion...

Get training or wait? : Long-run employment effects of training programs for the unemploymed in West Germany
Fitzenberger, Bernd (contributor);  … - 2006
Long-term public sector sponsored training programs often show little or negative short-run employment effects and often it is not possible to assess whether positive long-run effects exist. Based on unique administrative data, this paper estimates the long-run differential employment effects of...

New insights on unemployment duration and post unemployment earnings in Germany : censored box-cox quantile regression at work
Fitzenberger, Bernd (contributor);  … - 2007
In light of nonstationary search theory (van den Berg, 1990), this paper estimates the effects of benefit entitlement periods and the size of unemployment benefits on unemployment durations and post{unemployment earnings in West Germany. For the unemployment duration, we estimate censored...

The Phillips curve and NAIRU revisited : new estimates for Germany
Fitzenberger, Bernd (contributor);  … - 2007
This paper provides new estimates of a timevarying NAIRU for Germany taking account of the structural break caused by German unification based on the Kalman Filter and on a partially linear model as two alternatives. Estimating a standard Phillips curve, the sum of coefficients associated with...

The economic literature has largely overlooked the importance of repeat and circular migration. The paper studies this behavior by analyzing the number of exits and the total number of years away from the host country using count data models and panel data from Germany. More than 60% of migrants...
