Using the Helmert-Transformation to Reduce Dimensionality in a Mixed Model: Application to a Wage Equation with Worker and Firm Heterogeneity
Nilsen, Øivind Anti; Raknerud, Arvid; Skjerpen, Terje - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011
A model for matched data with two types of unobserved heterogeneity is considered – one related to the observation unit, the other to units to which the observation units are matched. One or both of the unobserved components are assumed to be random. This mixed model allows identification of...

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...

On the Cyclicality of Real Wages and Wage Differentials
Otrok, Christopher; Pourpourides, Panayiotis M. - Central Bank of Cyprus - 2011
In this paper we investigate the cyclicality of real wages. The approach we take is to search for the largest possible common cyclical component in a statistical sense. This contrasts with the existing literature which uses observable variables to proxy for a common cycle. We do so by using a...

Downward nominal and real wage rigidity: survey evidence from European firms
Babecký, Jan; Caju, Philip Du; Kosma, Theodora; … - Bank of Greece - 2010
It has been well established that the wages of individual workers react little, especially downwards, to shocks that hit their employer. This paper presents new evidence from a unique survey of firms across Europe on the prevalence of downward wage rigidity in both real and nominal terms. We...

Using the Pareto Distribution to Improve Estimates of Topcoded Earnings
Burkhauser, Richard V.; Armour, Philip; Larrimore, Jeff - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2014
Inconsistent censoring of top earnings in the public-use March Current Population Survey (CPS) is an important … limitation in using it to measure labor earnings trends. Using less-censored internal CPS data, combined with Pareto estimates …-use CPS. We find previous common approaches for imputing topcoded earnings systematically understate top earnings. Annual …

A methodological note on the measurement of labor income in Mexico
Vazquez, Raymundo M. Campos; Lustig, Nora; Santillán, … - In: Estudios Económicos 29 (2014) 1, pp. 107-123
In this methodological note we present a homogeneous measurement of labor income that is comparable over all years. Because the categories included in the definition of labor income have changed over time, an adjustment is necessary. In the measurement of inequality it is important not to...

Potential emigration of Latvian labour force after joining the EU and its impact on Latvian labour market
Hazans, Mihails - Baltic International Center for Economic Policy Studies … - 2003
This paper uses empirical evidence from several sources to shed light on patterns of mobility of Latvian labour force during the transition period as well as in the years to come. Updated inter-regional migration rates show that Latvian population is relatively mobile compared to some other...
