Methods for the analysis of linked employer-employee data are not yet available in standard econometrics packages. In this paper, we make the fixed-effects methods developed originally by Abowd, Kramarz, Margolis and others more accessible, where possible, and show how they can be implemented in...

In the empirical literature on the estimation of firm and worker heterogeneity using linked employer-employee data, unobserved worker quality appears to be negatively correlated with unobserved firm quality. We investigate the possibility that this is simply caused by standard estimation error...

We develop a dynamic, stochastic multi-sectoral, equilibrium model that allows for worker turnover, job turnover and career mobility. This serves to bridge the reallocation and job career literatures. Our model makes a number of predictions: a positive correlation between job turnover rates and...
