Compulsory military service in Gemany revisited
Paloyo, Alfredo R. - 2010
restricting conscription only to men born on or after July 1, 1937, difference-in-differences estimates of the effect of … conscription on average daily wages can be computed using cohorts of women as a comparison group. The results indicate that … conscription had no significant impact on a draftee’s labor-market performance, validating an earlier result using an alternative …

Decomposition of co-worker wage gains
Boza, István; Ilyés, Virág - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 9 (2020) 1/8, pp. 1-31
We address the presence, magnitude, and composition of wage gains related to former co-workers and discuss the mechanisms that could explain their existence. Using Hungarian linked employer-employee administrative data and proxying actual co-workership with overlapping work histories, we show...

Average Wage, Qualification of the Workforce and Export Performance in German Enterprises : Evidence from Kombifid Data
Wagner, Joachim - 2012
Empirical investigations with enterprise level data from official statistics often use the average wage as a proxy variable for the qualification of the workforce, mostly due to the lack of detailed information on the qualification of the employees. This paper uses unique newly available data...

Task-Biased Changes of Employment and Remuneration : The Case of Occupations
Kampelmann, Stephan - 2011
Different empirical studies suggest that the structure of employment in the U.S. and Great Britain tends to polarise into "good" and "bad" jobs. We provide updated evidence that polarisation also occurred in Germany since the mid-1980s until 2008. Using representative panel data, we show that...

Effects of the timing of births on women's earnings : evidence from a natural experiment
Karimi, Arizo - 2014
This paper studies the causal effect of the timing of first birth on highly educated women's career outcomes using exogenous variation in first birth timing induced by the occurrence of pregnancy loss before first birth. Contrasting previous findings, my results suggest that a one-year delay has...

On the Persistence of Income Shocks Over the Life Cycle : Evidence, Theory, and Implications Second Version
Karahan, Fatih - 2011
How does the persistence of earnings change over the life cycle? Do workers at different ages face the same variance of idiosyncratic shocks? This paper proposes a novel specification for residual earnings that allows for an age profile in the persistence and variance of labor income shocks. We...

Estimating Heterogeneity in Lifetime Earnings Risk
Drewianka, Scott D.; Oberg, P. - 2021
This paper measures risk in the present value of workers’ remaining lifetime earnings. Building upon a common earnings specification, our estimate combines flexible, heterogeneous forecasts of individuals’ expected earnings growth rates and the variances of potential permanent and temporary...

Age, wage and productivity
van Ours, Jan C.; Stoeldraijer, Lenny - 2010
Previous empirical studies on the effect of age on productivity and wages find contradicting results. Some studies find that if workers grow older there is an increasing gap between productivity and wages, i.e. wages increase with age while productivity does not or does not increase at the same...
