This paper is the first to show theoretically and empirically how firms' production technology affects the choice of their preferred wage formation regime. Our theoretical framework predicts, first, that the larger the total factor productivity of a firm, the more likely it is to opt for...

"Using a large linked employer-employee data set for Germany, we investigate differences in the unexplained gender pay gap between owner-run and manager-run firms. We hypothesise that owner-managers and hired managers differ in their discretion to engage in profit-reducing taste discrimination...

Auf Grundlage eines großen kombinierten Firmen-Beschäftigten-Datensatzes untersuchen wir Unterschiede im unerklärten geschlechtsspezifischen Lohndifferential zwischen eigentümer- und managergeführten Betrieben für Deutschland. Wir stellen die Hypothese auf, dass eigentümergeführte...

This paper investigates the relationship between the use of temporary agency work and the user firm's productivity. We hypothesise that modest use enhances numerical flexibility and thus productivity, while excessive use mirrors lowproductivity strategies utilising less social and human capital...

Using German establishment data, this study provides the first econometric analysis on the interaction of establishment-level codetermination and foreign owners. Works councils are associated with higher productivity in domestic-owned establishments while they are associated with lower...

Der Anstieg in der Leiharbeitsnutzung in Deutschland bis zur Wirtschaftskrise der Jahre 2008 und 2009 war gepraegt durch die verstaerkte Nutzung in groesseren Industriebetrieben und vollzog sich in erster Linie entlang der intensive margin, also durch eine erhoehte Leiharbeitsintensitaet in den...

Several studies have shown that anaerobic digesters integrated with combined heat and power systems (CHP/AD) are a financially attractive way to generate electricity, reduce odor, and improve nutrient management on hog farms; yet only very few systems have been installed to date. Employing...
