The Polarization of the U.S. Labor Market
Much research (surveyed in Katz and Autor, 1999) documents a substantial widening of the U.S. wage structure since the late 1970s, driven by increases in educational wage differentials and residual wage inequality. The growth in wage inequality was most rapid during the 1980s, and involved a spreading out of the entire wage distribution. Rapid secular growth in the demand for skills, partly fro...
متن کاملThe dynamics of youth labor market integration
This paper provides a theoretical and quantitative explanation for the time-consuming integration process of young workers. The search process fails both in matching costlessly firms and workers and in screening matches of poor quality, thus leading to recurring job loss and high unemployment at the entry of the labor market.

متن کاملAustralian labor market dynamics across the ages
a r t i c l e i n f o Transition probabilities between four labor market states (full-time employment, part-time employment, unemployment and inactive) for three age groups (the young, mature and old) are calculated using monthly gross flow data for Australia from October 1997 to May 2012. We determine the responses of the different groups to phases of the business cycle by estimating four unob...
متن کاملInternational Trade and Polarization in the Labor Market
The paper builds an argument that international trade can be an explanation behind polarization of employment in the labor market observed in developed countries such as U.K. and U.S. It considers a small open economy, having production sectors which use three types of labor: high-skill, middle-skill and low-skill. The economy faces an increase in the relative price of the high-skill intensive ...
متن کاملCostly external finance and labor market dynamics
We study the role of agency frictions and costly external finance in cyclical labor market dynamics, with a focus on how credit-market frictions may amplify aggregate TFP shocks. The main result is that aggregate TFP shocks lead to large fluctuations of labor market quantities if the model is calibrated to the empirically observed countercyclicality of the finance premium. A financial accelerat...
