چکیده

Self-Employment Dynamics, State Dependence and Cross-Mobility Patterns This paper analyzes the mobility between self-employment, wage employment and nonemployment. Using data for men in West Germany, we find strong true state dependence in all three states. Moreover, compared to wage employment, non-employment increases the probability of self-employment significantly, and self-employment goes along with a higher risk of future non-employment.

Social Networks in Determining Employment and Wages: Patterns, Dynamics, and Inequality

We develop a model where agents obtain information about job opportunities through an explicitly modeled network of social contacts. We show that an improvement in the employment status of either an agent’s direct or indirect contacts leads to an increase in the agent’s employment probability and expected wages, in the sense of first order stochastic dominance. A similar effect results from an ...
