Wage Mobility in Israel: The Effect of Sectoral Concentration

چکیده
Wage Mobility in Israel: The Effect of Sectoral Concentration Using a unique eight-year data set, merging population census and national insurance data, the paper examines and compares patterns of wage mobility in Israel. First, the public and the private sectors are compared. Second, within each of these sectors, a distinction is made between sub-sector groupings that exhibit a high level of concentration and those that are more diffuse and unregulated. Based on alternative measures of wage mobility, the central finding of the paper is that the extent of wage mobility in a given economic sector is negatively related to the degree of concentration in that sector. JEL Classification: J3, J6, L5

متن کاملLabor Contracts, Equal Treatment and Wage-Unemployment Dynamics
This paper analyses a model in which rms cannot pay discriminate based on year of entry to a rm, and develops an equilibrium model of wage dynamics and unemployment. The model is developed under the assumption of worker mobility, so that workers can costlessly quit jobs at any time. Firms on the other hand are committed to contracts. Thus the model is related to Beaudry and DiNardo (1991). We...
