Acquisitions, Multinationals and Wage Dispersion
Multinational firms pay relatively high wages. Less is known about the wage structure within multinational and non-multinational firms. We examine the impact of acquisitions on wage dispersion in Sweden using a large matched employer-employee data set. Foreign acquisitions of Swedish firms increase wage dispersion by increasing wages for high-skilled workers. The positive impact is concentrated...

With a vertical decomposition of the firm’s activities, whether there is substitution or complementarity between employment in different parts of the firm will depend on whether wage changes lead to a relocation of activities or simply to changes in marginal costs and demand fo...

This paper examines how primitive skills associated with occupations are formed and rewarded in the labor market over the careers of young male high school graduates. The objective task complexity measurement from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles enables a more direct look into primitive skills of workers. Through characterizing a worker’s optimal occupational choice, I show that the task ...

While recent studies show that preference heterogeneity across countries explains little of this variation, we focus on two other important features: observation period and estimation method. We start with a thorough survey of existing evidence for both Western Europe and the USA...
