This paper describes an effort to predict alumni success as measured by employer satisfaction in a veterinary medical education environment. Due to the complexity of the data, this paper sought to augment regression analysis with decision tree analysis to see if the combination of both approaches could result in new insights. Potential predictors of employer satisfaction were characterized as e...

This paper uses administrative data to analyze a large and 8-year long employer payroll tax rate cut in Sweden for young workers aged 26 or less. We replicate previous results documenting that during the earlier years of reform, it raised youth employment among treated workers, driven by labor demand (as workers’ take-home wages did not respond). First, drawing on additional data, this then doc...

Job Market Signaling and Employer Learning This paper extends the job market signaling model of Spence (1973) by allowing firms to learn the ability of their employees over time. Contrary to the model without employer learning, we find that the Intuitive Criterion does not always select a unique separating equilibrium. When the Intuitive Criterion bites and information is purely asymmetric, the...

This study measures the effect of case management interview (CMI) on 1,000 long-term sick-listed employees' probability of returning to work. In contrast to previous studies, we use instrumental variables to correct for selection effects in CMI. Using a competing hazard rate model, we find that CMI increases the probability of returning to work for the pre-sick leave employer, but has no effect...

We set out a model of monopsonistic competition, where each employer competes equally with every other employer. The employment effects of minimum wages depend on the degree of distortion in the labor market. If fixed costs per firm are high then the labor market is relatively non-competitive and minimumwages increase employment. Conversely, low fixed costs make for a more competitive labor mar...
