Accounting for Labor Demand Effects in Structural Labor Supply Models When assessing the effects of policy reforms on the labor market, most studies only focus on labor supply. The interaction of supply and demand side is not explicitly modeled, which might lead to biased estimates of potential labor market outcomes. This paper proposes a straightforward method to remedy this shortcoming. We us...

The demand for labor in the long run should be important to labor economists for a variety of reasons. So long as the supply of labor to an occupation, industry or area is not perfectly elastic in the long run, the nature of demand for labor in that subsector interacts with the shape of the supply function to determine the level of wages. As in the market for a commodity, so too in the market f...

his study attempts to examine the empirical relationship between gasoline taxes (as the most effective energy carrier of emissions) and labor productivities in the case of Iran using the time series data for the period 1990-2015  usingthe autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach. This research tests the interrelationship between the variables using the bounds testing to cointegration proc...

The authors "present estimates of the elasticity of demand for labor [in the United States] by region for the manufacturing sector....A brief theoretical framework for analyzing the demand for labor is presented.... This framework is used to develop a model that is well suited to analyze interregional differences in the elasticity of demand for labor....[It is] shown that there are significant ...

We propose and estimate a novel specification of labor demand which encompasses search frictions and the role of entrepreneurs in new firm creation. Using city-industry variation over four decades, we estimate the wage elasticity of employment demand to be close to -1 at the industry-city level and -0.3 at the city level. We argue that the difference between these estimates reflects the congest...

Do multinational Ž rms exhibit different patterns of labor demand from purely domestic Ž rms? Many standardmodels of trade and multinational companies suggest one such differencemay be labor-demand elasticities. For several reasons, multinationalsmay have more-elastic labor demands than do purely domestic Ž rms. In this paper we discuss the theory issues involved. We then present industry-level...
