Variable Labor Adjustment Costs and Aggregate Nonlinear Dynamics Simulation Based Estimation and Testing with Us Data
This paper investigates a model of labor-market search, where rms operate under uncertainty. The paper starts from a descriptive approach with U.S. hours worked data. EEciency units display signiicant nonlinearities and speciication tests allow to select a exi-ble non-linear model. We assess the ability of the structural model to mimic these empirical features. Since the reduced form induces un...
متن کاملLabor Adjustment Costs and Capital Structure Decisions
This paper investigates how the costs associated with dismissing employees impact a firm’s capital structure decisions. I hypothesize that increases in these labor adjustment costs reduce a firm’s optimal amount of debt financing by lowering expected profitability and raising financial distress costs and operating leverage. To test this hypothesis, I adopt a difference-in-differences research d...
متن کاملData Sketches for Disaggregated Subset Sum Estimation
We introduce and study a new data sketch for processing massive datasets. It addresses two common problems: 1) computing a sum given arbitrary lter conditions and 2) identifying the frequent items or heavy hiers in a data set. For the former, the sketch provides unbiased estimates with state of the art accuracy. It is specically designed to handle the challenging scenario when the data is di...
متن کاملEmployment Dynamics and the Structure of Labor Adjustment Costs
Employment Dynamics and the Structure of Labor Adjustment Costs In this paper we document the patterns of employment adjustment at the micro-level. We find clear evidence of lumpy adjustment consistent with the presence of non-convexities in the adjustment technology inaction is pervasive, action spells are short-lived, extreme adjustment episodes occur and are responsible for a non-trivial sha...
متن کاملFactor adjustment costs: A structural investigation
This paper assesses various capital and labor adjustment costs functions estimating a general equilibrium framework with Bayesian methods using US aggregate data. The estimation finds that the adjustment costs are convex in both capital and labor and allowing for their joint interaction is important. The structural model enables us to identify the response of factor adjustment costs to exogenou...
