This paper is the first to investigate the role of firm-level upstreamness (i.e. the number of steps before the … upstreamness is also found to vary substantially depending on the origin of the workers. Unconditional quantile estimates suggest …. Quantile decompositions further show that, while differences in average values of upstreamness according to workers' origin …

We analyze the most important drivers of the recent rise in overall German wage dispersion and pin down the relative contribution of central establishment and worker characteristics. Moreover, we separately investigate the drivers of between as well as within establishment wage dispersion. Using...

Using rich linked employer-employee data for (West) Germany between 1996 and 2014, we analyze the most important drivers of the recent rise in German wage dispersion and pin down the relative contribution of plant and worker characteristics. Moreover, we separately investigate the drivers of...
