The distribution of the gains from spillovers through worker mobility between workers and firms
Knowledge spillovers through worker mobility between firms, found in previous research, imply that knowledge production within firms creates a positive externality to the hiring firms and their workers. We calculate the shares in the gains from spillovers retained by these parties using matched employer–employee data from Danish manufacturing. We find that around two-thirds of the total output ...
متن کاملWorker Democracy and Worker Productivity
A major source of oppression in industrial and post-industrial society is the restrictive and highly authoritarian nature of the workplace. One response is to democratize the workplace by increasing the participation of workers in making decisions and in choosing and evaluating managers as well as sharing in the ownership of the firm. These are not new ideas, and there are many examples of orga...
متن کاملMatch Quality, Worker Productivity, and Worker Mobility: Direct Evidence From Teachers
I investigate the importance of the match between teachers and schools for student achievement. I show that teacher effectiveness is higher after a move to a different school, and I estimate teacher-school match effects using a mixed effects estimator. Match quality can "explain away" a quarter of, and is as economically important as, teacher quality. Supporting models of worker mobility, teach...
متن کاملThe Mobility - Productivity Paradox Exploring The Negative Relationships Between Mobility and Economic Productivity
This paper explores a paradox: negative correlations between indicators of mobility (such as VMT) and productivity (such as GDP), and positive correlations between mobility constraints (higher road use prices or traffic congestion) and productivity. These relationships contradict common assumptions that policies and projects that increase vehicle travel (roadway expansions and lower road user p...
متن کاملModelling the Heterogeneous Price Setting Behavior of Firms (DSGE Approach)
Despite the empirical evidence of the difference in the degree of price stickiness of goods and services, in the new standard Keynesian models, the same price stickiness is considered for all firms producing intermediate goods. In recent years, a new generation of pricing models has been introduced to simulate the heterogeneous price setting behavior in which, unlike standard pricing models, th...
