Off the labor supply curve : the zero employer size wage effect within large firms

Diegmann, André; Müller, Steffen; Schoefer, Benjamin - 2026

We revisit the employer size wage effect (ESWE) - arguably the most basic and influential departure from the law of one price for labor. Our main result is that this canonical fact disappears completely across establishments within the same firm, even though they operate in different local labor...

Old and new jobs : understanding wage formation, sorting, and firm behavior

Gülümser, Dogan - 2026

This paper studies hiring and wage setting in new jobs. Using Swedish matched employeremployee data covering 1.7 million new hires, I show that entrants into occupations new to the firm have more labor market experience and are more likely to be hired from other employers. Conditional on entrant...

Identifying labor market power : a quasi-experimental approach

Fonseca, João Galindo da; Santarrosa, Rogerio - 2025

We test whether firms react to changes in the wages and size of their competitors. We use a unique institutional feature of public procurement auctions in Brazil: the moment in which the auction ends is random. For close auctions, winner and runner-up are as good as randomly assigned. We first...

Monopsony in the New Zealand labour market : first estimates from administrative data

Allan, Corey; Maré, David C.; Hyslop, Dean Robert - 2025

We examine employer monopsony power in the New Zealand private sector labour market. New Zealand has a small, geographically dispersed population, meaning that outside employment options for workers may be limited. However, New Zealand is generally considered to have a flexible labour market...

Does tax transparency influence wage setting? : evidence on gender gaps

This paper examines how an often-overlooked source of pay transparency-the public disclosure of tax information-affects gender wage gaps. We exploit a 2001 change in Norway that made individual tax returns searchable online. Using matched employer-employee data and a differencein-differences...

Internal pay equity and the quantity-quality trade-off in hiring

Amior, Michael; San, Shmuel - 2026

Firms face significant constraints in their ability to differentiate pay by worker productivity. We show how these internal equity constraints generate a quantity-quality tradeoff in hiring: firms which offer higher wages attract higher skilled workers, but cannot profitably employ lower skilled...
