General Equilibrium Effects of Land Market Restrictions on Labor Market: Evidence from Wages in Sri Lanka
Taking advantage of a historical quasi-experiment in Sri Lanka, this paper provides evidence on the effects of land market restrictions on equilibrium wage and its spatial pattern. For identification, we exploit the effects of historical malaria prevalence on the incidence of land restrictions through the availability of ‘crown land’. The results show that there is important spatial heterogenei...
متن کاملLabor Market Institutions, Wages, and Investment
Labor Market Institutions, Wages, and Investment Labor market institutions, via their effect on the wage structure, affect the investment decisions of firms in labor markets with frictions.

These different trends are the result of different investment decisions by firm...

متن کاملLabor market programs , the discouraged - worker effect , and labor force participation ∗
This paper estimates the macroeconomic effect of labor market programs on labor force participation. Labor market programs could counteract business-cycle variation in the participation rate that is due to the discouraged-worker effect, and they could prevent labor force outflow. An equation that determines the participation rate is estimated with GMM, using panel data (1986-1998) for Sweden’s ...
متن کاملOptimal ( Capital ) - Taxation and ( Female ) - Labor Force Participation – The Importance of Labor Market Flows ∗
This paper asks how good actual US-fiscal policy was on average and over the cycle in the last 40 years compared to a Ramsey-optimal policy of a frictional labor market model. In our model labor taxes are intertemporally distortive, making the trade-off between capital and labor taxes interesting. Quantitatively, (optimal) taxation results hinge upon an estimate of the intratemporal elasticity ...
