The occupational skill structure depends on the business cycle if employers respond to shortages of applicants during upturns by lowering their hiring standards. The notion and relevance of hiring standards adjustment was advanced by Reder and investigated formally in a search-theoretic...

The occupational skill structure depends on the business cycle if employers respond to shortages of applicants during upturns by lowering their hiring standards. Devereux uses this implication to construct empirical tests for the notion of hiring standards adjustment (the so-called Reder...

"We test the theoretical claim that coordination and centralisation in wage setting reduce strike activity by estimating nonlinear regression models using a dataset of 17 OECD countries for the period 1972-2000. We find moderating effects of coordination on strike activity but the effects are...

"The analysis of FDZ BA data is hampered by changing industry classifications. This report describes two methods to deal with this and provides ready-to-use working tools. The first method is the usage of directional correspondence tables. We create several correspondence tables for the...

"Trainingsmaßnahmen sind ein Instrument der aktiven Arbeitsförderung, mit dem je nach Ausrichtung unterschiedliche Zielsetzungen verfolgt werden. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Variante der Trainingsmaßnahmen, die Maßnahme zur Überprüfung der Verfügbarkeit, evaluiert. Diese Maßnahme zielt...

"Short-term training programmes are an instrument of active employment promotion which pursues several goals. The objective of this paper is to evaluate short-term training programmes which test unemployed individuals' availability for employment. The primary aim of these programmes is to review...

I will discuss my experience with Stata's ml method d2 when coding and estimator for a multi-state Markov transition model with unobserved heterogeneity. When analytical derivatives are available, programming a "d2" estimator is in principle straightforward and offers potentially huge rewards in...
