Der Beitrag analysiert den Übergang von der Ausbildung ins Berufsleben in Sachsen. Dabei werden zwei Ausbildungskohorten (1994/1995 und 2011/2012) hinsichtlich ihrer Weiterbeschäftigung, ihres Wechselverhaltens und der Entgeltentwicklung an dieser sog. Zweiten Schwelle beobachtet. Dabei zeigt...

This paper examines how labor mobility restrictions such as non-compete clauses in employment contracts affect the incentives and resulting behavior of employees. Using the investment industry as a testing laboratory, we find that mutual fund managers respond to heightened career concerns due to...

Die Migration von Pflegekräften spielt seit Jahren eine wichtige Rolle in der Pflege. Österreich zählt dabei, obwohl von der Forschung bisher wenig beachtet, zu einem wichtigen Zielland. Dieses Buch befasst sich ausführlich mit diesem Phänomen. Es setzt sich zunächst mithilfe einer eigenen...

The world is becoming more interconnected, with an acceleration in the movement of information, capital, goods, services and people across international borders. As it becomes easier to travel and work in other countries – especially in common market areas such as the European Union – the...

We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975–2014. We find that worker turnover moves more procyclical than job turnover. This procyclical worker churn takes place along the entire employment...

Existing management research has so far dealt with the consequences of labor turnover for established firms, but has not addressed its effect on young entrepreneurial businesses. In this paper I assess, both theoretically and empirically, the productivity effects of worker replacement in young...

We measure the contribution of match quality to the wage growth experienced by job movers. We reject the exogenous mobility assumption needed to estimate a standard fixed-effects wage regression in the Danish matched employer-employee data. We exploit the sub-sample of workers hired from...

Large and persistent earnings losses following displacement have adverse consequences for the individual worker and the macroeconomy. Leading models cannot explain their size and disagree on their sources. Two mean-reverting forces make earnings losses transitory in these models: search as an...

Average wages are considerably lower in agriculture than in the other sectors. We document this fact for thirteen countries ranging from rich (Canada, U.S.) to poor (India, Indonesia). We develop a measure of human capital that accounts for the selection of workers with different unobserved...
