Job levels and wages

Bayer, Christian; Kuhn, Moritz - 2025

Job levels summarize the complexity, autonomy, and responsibility involved in executing tasks. They are conceptually distinct from occupations and education. Our finding that job levels can be constructed from task execution data demonstrates their economic content. We present a novel theory of...

Using post-regularization distribution regression to measure the effects of a minimum wage on hourly wages, hours worked and monthly earnings

Biewen, Martin; Erhardt, Pascal - 2024

We evaluate the distributional effects of a minimum wage introduction based on a data set with a moderate sample size but a large number of potential covariates. Therefore, the selection of relevant control variables at each distributional threshold is crucial to test hypotheses about the impact...

Immigrant-native wage gaps and immigration tariffs : examining the case for an H-1B visa tax

Clemens, Michael A. - 2026

The US government in 2025 imposed a $100,000 tax on each high-skill foreign worker entering with an H-1B work visa. The only public economic justification calculates the tax to offset an estimated wage penalty for H-1B workers relative to US natives. But this estimate suffers from substantial...

Job transformation, specialization, and the labor market effects of AI

Freund, Lukas; Mann, Lukas - 2026 - Original version: August 2025, this version: March 2026

A central effect of automation is to transform jobs-shifting their task content. We develop a general-equilibrium model of this process. Occupations bundle tasks; workers possess task-specific skills and sort by comparative advantage. When a task is automated, remaining tasks gain in importance,...
