Employer-to-Employer Flows in the United States: Estimates Using Linked Employer-Employee Data

Evidence from German Individual and Linked Employer-Employee Data

Using both household and linked employer-employee data for Germany, we assess the effects of non-union representation in the form of works councils on (1) individual sickness absence rates and (2) a subjective measure of personnel problems due to sickness absence as perceived by a firm's management. We find that the existence of a works council is positively correlated with the incidence and th...

MCMC estimation with longitudinal employer-employee data

We study job durations using a multivariate hazard model allowing for workerspecific and firm-specific unobserved determinants. The latter are captured by unobserved heterogeneity terms or random effects, one at the firm level and another at the worker level. This enables us to decompose the variation in job durations into the relative contribution of the worker and the firm. We also allow the ...

Using Matched Employer-Employee Data to Study Labor Market Discrimination

Using Matched Employer-Employee Data to Study Labor Market Discrimination Wage gaps between individuals of difference races, sexes, and ethnicities have been documented and replicated extensively, and have generated a long history in labor economics research of empirical tests for labor market discrimination. The most widely-used approach to test for labor market discrimination is based on wage...

Is Offshoring Linked to Offshoring Potentials ? Evidence from German Linked - Employer - Employee Data

This paper analyses the link between offshoring in German plants and the offshoring potential of their employees. We use information on the offshoring potential of jobs from representative task data and merge it with linked employer-employee data, for which information on different modes of offshoring behaviour is available. We empirically identify individual and plant-level determinants of off...
