Gender Gaps and the Structure of Local Labor Markets
Petrongolo, Barbara; Ronchi, Maddalena - 2020
In this paper we discuss some strands of the recent literature on the evolution of gender gaps and their driving forces. We will revisit key stylized facts about gender gaps in employment and wages in a few high-income countries. We then discuss and build on one gender-neutral force behind the...

Unemployment Invariance
Karanassou, Marika; Snower, Dennis J. - 2021
This paper provides a critique of the "unemployment invariance hypothesis," according to which the behavior of the … labor market ensures that the long-run unemployment rate is independent of the size of the capital stock, productivity, and … the equilibrating mechanisms to ensure unemployment invariance; in particular, other markets may perform part of the …

Inequality and Employment Sensitivities to the Falling Labour Share
Karanassou, Marika; Sala, Hector - School of Economics and Finance, Queen Mary - 2011
This paper aims at identifying the labour share (wage-productivity gap) as a major factor in the evolution of inequality and employment. To this end, we use annual data for the US, UK and Sweden over the past forty years and estimate country-specific systems of labour demand and Gini coefficient...

Gender Gaps Across Countries and Skills: Supply, Demand and the Industry Structure
Olivetti, Claudia; Petrongolo, Barbara - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2011
The gender wage gap varies widely across countries and across skill groups within countries. Interestingly, there is a positive cross-country correlation between the unskilled- to-skilled gender wage gap and the corresponding gap in hours worked. Based on a canonical supply and demand framework,...

The Wage-Productivity Gap Revisited: Is the Labour Share Neutral to Employment?
Karanassou, Marika; Sala, Hector - Departament d'Economia Aplicada, Universitat Autònoma … - 2010
This paper challenges the prevailing view of the neutrality of the labour income share to labour demand, and investigates its impact on the evolution of employment. Whilst maintaining the assumption of a unitary long-run elasticity of wages with respect to productivity, we demonstrate that...
