Rent-sharing, hold-up, and wages : evidence from matched panel data

Card, David E.; Devicienti, Francesco; Maida, Agata - 2011

It is widely believed that rent-sharing reduces the incentives for investment when long term contracts are infeasible because some of the returns to sunk capital are captured by workers. We propose a simple test for the degree of hold-up based on the fraction of capital costs that are deducted...

Influence in economics and aging

Jelnov, Pavel; Weiss, Yoram - 2020

We study the relationship between age and influence in a closed group of 1,000 leading economists. We consider, as a measurement of influence, monthly RePEc rankings. We find that the rankings are not related to age but are related to experience. The optimal level of experience is 30 years from...

The wage-productivity gap revisited : is the labour share neutral to employment?

Karanassou, Marika; Sala, Hector - 2010

This paper challenges the prevailing view of the neutrality of the labour income share to labour demand, and investigates its impact on the evolution of employment. Whilst maintaining the assumption of a unitary long-run elasticity of wages with respect to productivity, we demonstrate that...
