We estimate a standard human capital earnings model, augmented to allow for different firmspecific wage premia. The earnings of an individual depend on her human capital bundle and the earnings mark-up of the firm she is currently working for. We use linked employer-employee data from Norway which allows us to directly estimate the skill premium as a function of firm specific variables such as ...
متن کاملTime Varying Synchronicity in Individual Stock Returns: A Cross-Country Comparison, by Kan Li, Randall Morck, Fan Yang, and Bernard Yeung. IMF Global Linkages Conference, Washington DC (January 20, 2003)

We show that a similar international trend, albeit weaker, is visible for many countries. Using both regre...

We find that openness leads to a positive industry wage premium, but its contribution to firm-level wage inequality is relatively small, only 4.69%. The major contributor to wage ineq...

This paper investigates the relationship between capital account openness and the share of labour in national income. Employing a new index of financial openness and a cross-country panel of labour shares available from the United Nations System of National Accounts, the author shows a robust negative correlation between the degree of openness and the labour share. Although this effect is not p...
