    Egger, Hartmut, Udo Kreickemeier, Christoph Moser & Jens Wrona (2024): Offshoring and job polarisation between firms. In: Journal of International Economics, Jg. 148. DOI:10.1016/j.jinteco.2024.103892

    Abstract

    "Using linked employer–employee data for Germany, we provide evidence for job polarisation between firms and identify offshoring as an important determinant of these employment changes. To accommodate these findings, we set up a model in which offshoring to a low-wage country can lead to job polarisation in the high-wage country due to a reallocation of labour across firms that differ in productivity and pay wages that are positively linked to their profits. Offshoring is chosen only by the most productive firms, and only for those tasks with the lowest variable offshoring costs. A reduction in those variable costs increases offshoring at the intensive and at the extensive margin. Well in line with our evidence, this causes domestic employment shifts from the newly offshoring firms in the middle of the productivity distribution to firms at the tails of this distribution, paying either very low or very high wages."

    Lukesch, Veronika & Thomas Zwick (2024): Do outside options drive wage inequalities in retained jobs? Evidence from a natural experiment. In: BJIR, Jg. 62, H. 1, S. 127-153. DOI:10.1111/bjir.12771

    Abstract

    "We provide evidence that suggests that a reduction in outside wage options reduces wage increases in retained jobs. We use the natural experiment of a reform that reduced outside wage options for employees in deregulated crafts occupations in comparison to employees in not reformed crafts occupations. To avoid estimation biases from general reform effects on wages, we concentrate on employees active in crafts occupations who worked for employers in the industry and commerce sectors and exclude employees in the crafts sector. Four years after the reform, the wages of treated employees in deregulated crafts were 5 per cent lower than wages of employees in not reformed occupations (control group). The reform, therefore, led to wage differentiation between comparable employees. The wage effects are concentrated in employers with high general wage increases after the reform and they can be found even at individual employers."

    Sondergeld, Virginia & Katharina Wrohlich (2024): Gender Pay Gap in einem Betrieb sinkt mit mehr Frauen in Führungspositionen. In: DIW-Wochenbericht, Jg. 91, H. 3, S. 38-43. DOI:10.18723/diw_wb:2024-3-3

    Abstract

    "Frauen sind in hohen Führungspositionen privatwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen in Deutschland nach wie vor unterrepräsentiert. In den vergangenen Jahren hat die Politik mehrfach Maßnahmen ergriffen, um den Frauenanteil in Führungspositionen zu erhöhen. Hat ein Betrieb mehr Frauen im Management, kann das positive Wirkungen auf alle Frauen in diesem Betrieb entfalten. Wie die empirischen Analysen in diesem Bericht auf Basis von Linked-Employer-Employee-Daten des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) zeigen, senkt ein höherer Frauenanteil auf der ersten und zweiten Führungsebene den betriebsspezifischen Gender Pay Gap. Statistisch signifikante Effekte durch den Frauenanteil auf der obersten Führungsebene sind allerdings erst ab einem Drittel zu beobachten – derzeit liegt der Frauenanteil dort im Durchschnitt noch deutlich niedriger. Die Unternehmen sollten also ihre Bemühungen, mehr Frauen in hohe Führungspositionen zu befördern, fortsetzen. Dies könnte die ökonomische Ungleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern auf allen Hierarchieebenen eines Betriebs vermindern." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "We conduct a decomposition analysis based on recentred influence function (RIF) regressions to disentangle the relative importance of automation and robotization for wage inequality in the manufacturing sector in Germany between 1996 and 2017. Our measure of automation threat combines occupation-specific scores of automation risk with sector-specific robot densities. We find that besides changes in the composition of individual characteristics, structural shifts among different automation threat groups are a non-negligible factor associated with wage inequality between 1996 and 2017. Moreover, the increase in wage dispersion among the different automation threat groups has contributed significantly to higher wage inequality in the 1990s and 2000s."

    Abstract

    "Das Entgelttransparenzgesetz soll dazu beitragen, das Gebot des gleichen Entgelts für Frauen und Männer bei gleicher oder gleichwertiger Arbeit durchzusetzen. Nach der zweiten Evaluation wird deutlich, dass dies mit den vorhandenen Instrumenten des Gesetzes nicht erreicht wird. Ohne größere Änderungen bleibt das Gesetz in großen Teilen ineffektiv – bei gleichzeitig substanziellen bürokratischen Auflagen für Betriebe. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Ergebnisse der zweiten Evaluation und zeigt auf, in welche Richtung Reformen gehen könnten." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    The anatomy of labor cost adjustment to demand shocks: Germany and Italy during the Great Recession (2023)

    D'Amuri, Francesco, Salvatore Lattanzio & Benjamin S. Smith (2023): The anatomy of labor cost adjustment to demand shocks. Germany and Italy during the Great Recession. (Temi di discussione / Banca d'Italia 1411), Rom, 55 S.

    Abstract

    "We shed light on the anatomy of labor cost adjustment in German and Italian manufacturing firms with more than 20 employees, leveraging matched employer employee-balance sheet data and an exogenous demand shifter that exploits the collapse in world trade during the Great Recession. Following a 1 per cent exogenous decrease in sales, the average German firm cuts wage growth by 0.19 per cent, twice as much as its Italian counterpart. The employment adjustment is gradual in both countries but more pronounced in Germany, where, however, firms in sectors hardest hit by the world trade collapse had been increasing employment in the run-up to the Great Recession. These results are not driven by differences in the response of hours per worker, in labor supply conditions, or in firms' exposure to the concurrent negative credit shock. Finally, we find that - in both countries - producer prices were reduced to a similar extent in response to the shock." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    The effect of temporary workers and works councils on process innovation (2023)

    Durach, Christian F., Frank Wiengarten & Mark Pagell (2023): The effect of temporary workers and works councils on process innovation. In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management, Jg. 43, H. 5, S. 781-801. DOI:10.1108/IJOPM-07-2022-0427

    Abstract

    "This study aims to investigate the effects of temporary workers and works councils on process innovations at manufacturing sites. The impact of temporary workers, commonly viewed as a means of operational flexibility and cost savings, on firms’ ability to innovate is underexplored. Works councils represent and help integrate temporary workers, but are often equated with unions, which have been criticized as barriers to innovation, especially in the US. The authors use secondary data collected by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the German Federal Employment Agency. Specifically, the authors conduct a series of regression analyses using 11-year panel data covering the period 2009 – 2019 with 11,641 manufacturing site-year observations. The results suggest that the use of temporary workers initially promotes process innovation, but at too high a level, it impairs firms’ ability to innovate. Furthermore, the results suggest that works councils have a positive impact on innovation and dampen the curvilinear effect found with respect to temporary workers. Research has largely focused on the cost and flexibility benefits of temporary workers. The authors analyze the effectiveness of temporary workers in terms of innovativeness. By including works councils, the study also consider the contextual environment in which temporary workers are employed. Finally, the results reject the assumption that works councils have a similar negative impact as unions on innovation; in fact, the authors find the opposite."

    Bank Bonus Pay as a Risk Sharing Contract (2023)

    Abstract

    "We argue that risk sharing motivates the bankwide structure of bonus pay. In the presence of financial frictions that make external financing costly, the optimal contract between shareholders and employees involves some degree of risk sharing whereby bonus pay partially absorbs negative earnings shocks. Using payroll data for 1.26 million employee-years in all functional divisions of Austrian, German, and Swiss banks, we uncover several empirical patterns in bonus pay that are difficult to rationalize exclusively with incentive theories of bonus pay but that support an important risk sharing motive."

    Guri, Romina (2023): Unlocking exporting: Human Capital, Organizational Innovation, and Digital Technologies. Groningen: University of Groningen, 136 S. DOI:10.33612/diss.819479069

    Abstract

    "Exporting is a familiar and yet complex internationalization strategy used by many firms to tap into foreign markets. While prior research has delved into how firms expand abroad and improve their performance by doing so, certain aspects of firms’ export behavior remain still poorly understood. How do firms learn to improve export performance? How do firms learn by exporting beyond productivity and technological innovations? And how do digital technologies facilitate firms to internationalize early and rapidly? This dissertation seeks to provide answers to these questions by going beyond the traditional boundaries of learning that underpin exporting. Chapter 2 distinguishes between learning to start exporting and learning to improve export performance. By drawing from the strategic human capital literature it conceptualizes how prior work experience of employees encompassing both knowledge and skills but also habits and routines shape hiring firms’ export performance. Chapter 3 brings new insights into the learning-by-exporting effects by introducing mechanisms that explain how exporting allows firms to improve the way they organize their activities and introduce organizational innovation while considering domestic market contingencies. Chapter 4 adopts a business model perspective to explore the role of digital technologies for early and rapid internationalization. By conceptualizing digital technologies in terms of value creation, delivery, and capture, this chapter provides new insights into how their different roles enable firms to follow a rapid internationalization path. Overall this dissertation develops several important theoretical insights into the mechanisms that underpin firms’ export behavior." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This thesis is comprised of three essays. They focus on the implications of Short-Time Work policies and Innovation for the economy as a whole. In the first chapter, “Short Time Work and the Unemployment Scar,” I investigate the economic effects of short-time work. I assess its welfare effects, who benefits most from it, and whether it is suitable as an automatic stabilizer. For this purpose, I develop a heterogeneous agents model, for which the income process is generated by a job ladder search and matching model. I calibrate the model to match the German labor market around the great recession and estimate key parameters governing the value a worker generates after entering STW using German social security data in combination with a survey on the use of STW. Workers at the peak of their career benefit most strongly, as they stand to lose job and firm specific knowledge, as well as the high wages they negotiated in the past. Chapter two, “Why Britain? The Right Place (in the Technology Space) at the Right Time,” is joint work with W. Walker Hanlon and Lukas Rosenberger. We ask why Britain attained economic leadership during the Industrial Revolution, and argue that Britain possessed an important but underappreciated innovation advantage: British inventors worked in technologies that were more central within the innovation network. We offer a new approach for measuring the innovation network using patent data from Britain and France in the 18th and early 19th century. We show that the network influenced innovation outcomes and then demonstrate that British inventors worked in more central technologies within the innovation network than inventors from France. Then, drawing on recently-developed theoretical tools, we quantify the implications for technology growth rates in Britain compared to France. Our results indicate that the shape of the innovation network, and the location of British inventors within it, can help explain the more rapid technological growth in Britain during the Industrial Revolution. Chapter three, “Invention and Technological Leadership during the Industrial Revolution,” is written jointly with Emre Enes Yavuz and Lukas Rosenberger. It provides the first empirical cross-country evidence on inventive activity during the Industrial Revolution. Idiosyncrasies in the French historic patent law allow us to compare invention rates in Britain and France across sectors based on French patent data from 1791 to 1855. Our key result is a robust, positive association of invention rates in Britain and France at the sectoral level. Furthermore, we provide the first quantitative evidence on technological leadership in invention at the sectoral level." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Women and Leading Positions in Germany: The Role of Promotion Programs for Women (2023)

    Kohaut, Susanne & Iris Möller (2023): Women and Leading Positions in Germany: The Role of Promotion Programs for Women. In: Management revue, Jg. 34, H. 1, S. 30-52., 2022-08-10. DOI:10.5771/0935-9915-2023-1-30

    Abstract

    "Although women are as well educated as men, they do not reach a proportion in management that reflects their workforce share. Obviously, different actors' policies are required to help promote women to leading positions. This paper addresses the question of whether the introduction and existence of special promotion programs for women impact the probability of reaching a management position. Social role and expectation state theory argue why it is difficult for women to rise to leadership positions. On the organisational level, the "homophily principle" leads to state dependence which is one explanation for the persistence of male leadership. Hence, it is argued that women need special opportunities to demonstrate their skills. Mentoring programs could be one way to support women in their careers. In multi-variate analyses, probit models are estimated to model the influence of promotion programs on the probability of reaching a leading position. The estimations are based on a German linked employer-employee dataset of almost 142,000 women employed in 3,240 establishments. The dataset covers the time from 2008 to 2014 and allows to control for individual and firm-specific variables. The results show that the introduction of women-friendly policies increases the probability of reaching a managerial position, whereas the existence of such programs does not have an impact."

    Kölling, Arnd (2023): Does skill shortage pay off for nursing staff in Germany? Wage premiums for hiring problems, industrial relations, and profitability. (MPRA paper 116205), München, 32 S.

    Abstract

    "This study investigates the impact of hiring problems, industrial relations at the workplace and profitability on compensation and wage premia for nursing staff in Germany. Based on Mincer-type earnings functions and a large linked-employee dataset, regressions with unobserved individual and firm-specific fixed effects are estimated. The econometric analysis shows that firms with staffing problems pay a wage premium of about 4 to 5% for nurses. However, this only holds for firms that do not have a works council and/or are not profitable. Here, the wage premium for staffing is paid at the expense of previous premiums for co-determination at the workplace or rent sharing. These premiums are significantly reduced or eliminated due to better outside options. Overall, the pay increases for nurses in firms with staffing problems. Nevertheless, this does not apply to all skilled workers in Germany." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This article describes the processing and accessibility of the person and establishment fixed wage effects in German administrative data. These effects have been estimated following the approach of Abowd, J., Kramarz, F., and Margolis, D. (1999. High wage workers and high wage firms. Econometrica 67: 251–333) and Card, D., Heining, J., and Kline, P. (2013. Workplace heterogeneity and the rise of West German wage inequality. Q. J. Econ. 128: 967–1015). They can be linked to most of the available administrative datasets provided by the Research Data Center (FDZ) of the German Federal Employment Agency at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). They are available for different time intervals from 1985 until 2021. These effects have been used in numerous articles that deal with the contributions of workers and establishments to earnings inequality." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © De Gruyter) ((en))

    Müller, Christoph (2023): Technological change, training, and within-firm wage inequality in Germany. In: European Sociological Review online erschienen am 19.09.2023, S. 1-14. DOI:10.1093/esr/jcad051

    Abstract

    "Technological change increases the demand for higher skills and fosters wage inequality. Studies on technological change often emphasize the importance of training to adapt workers’ skills to technology use and mitigate inequality. However, we know little about firms’ training activities and their consequences for inequality in the context of technological change. This article investigates, first, whether firms’ decisions to invest in information technology (IT) are associated with skill bias in firms’ training activities, whether this is conditional on the job tasks of workers, and, whether the relationship between IT investments and training activities affects the wage gap within firms. Using linked employer–employee data containing detailed information about investments and training, I show that firms’ IT investments have a large positive effect on the training participation of high-skilled workers. In contrast, the positive effect on low-skilled workers is smaller, short lasting and conditional on workers job tasks. Additional investigations show that the training of high-skilled workers mediates approximately 5 per cent of the effect of IT investments on wage inequality within firms. In the conclusions, I highlight the broader implications of these findings for the effects of technological change for inequality in training opportunities."

    Abstract

    "Diese Studie präsentiert neue Erkenntnisse im Bereich der Löhnlücke zwischen einheimischen und ausländischen Beschäftigten in Deutschland unter Berücksichtigung regionaler Unterschiede zwischen 2000 und 2019. Unter Verwendung von Linked-Employer-Employee-Daten des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung werden unbedingte Quantilsregressionen geschätzt, um den Grad der Integration von ausländischen Beschäftigten im deutschen Arbeitsmarkt auf regionaler Ebene bewerten zu können. Die Ergebnisse der erweiterten Oaxaca-Blinder Zerlegungsmethode erbringen Nachweis über entscheidende Faktoren, die die Lohnlücke entlang der gesamten Verteilung beeinflussen. Ergebnisse werden nicht nur für Westdeutschland als Ganzes präsentiert, sondern es wird zusätzlich zwischen Metropolregionen und ländlichen Regionen unterschieden. Die Unterscheidung zwischen verschiedenen Regionen in Deutschland zeigt, dass im Durchschnitt höhere Lohnlücken in Metropolregionen erkennbar sind mit einem gleichzeitig höheren Anteil an ausländischer Bevölkerung. Zusätzlich ändert sich nicht nur der relative Einfluss bestimmter erklärender Variablen im Laufe der Zeit, sondern auch mögliche Faktoren der Lohnlücke haben unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen an verschiedenen Stellen der Lohnverteilung. Entscheidende Faktoren in diesem Zusammenhang sind der ausgeübte Beruf und die Zugehörigkeit zu einem bestimmten Wirtschaftssektor. Bei der getrennten Beobachtung von Metropolregionen und ländlichen Regionen zeigt sich, dass vor allem Unterschiede in der Bildung zu Lohnlücken in städtischen Regionen führen. Hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes der Lohnlücken zwischen ausländischen und einheimischen Beschäftigten ist in den Jahren nach 2012 eine Trendumkehr zu erkennen, die mit einem Anstieg im Bereich der Medianlöhne verbunden ist."

    Women in Management and the Gender Pay Gap (2023)

    Sondergeld, Virginia & Katharina Wrohlich (2023): Women in Management and the Gender Pay Gap. (DIW-Diskussionspapiere 2046), Berlin, 31 S.

    Abstract

    "We analyze the impact of women’s managerial representation on the gender pay gap among employees on the establishment level using German Linked-Employer-EmployeeData from the years 2004 to 2018. For identification of a causal effect we employ a panel model with establishment fixed effects and industry-specific time dummies. Our results show that a higher share of women in management significantly reduces the gender pay gap within the firm. An increase in the share of women in first-level management e.g. from zero to above 33 percent decreases the adjusted gender pay gap from a baseline of 15 percent by 1.2 percentage points, i.e. to roughly 14 percent. The effect is stronger for women in second-level than first-level management, indicating that women managers with closer interactions with their subordinates have a higher impact on the gender pay gap than women on higher management levels. The results are similar for East and West Germany, despite the lower gender pay gap and more gender egalitarian social norms in East Germany. From a policy perspective, we conclude that increasing the number of women in management positions has the potential to reduce the gender pay gap to a limited extent. However, further policy measures will be needed in order to fully close the gender gap in pay." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Recent research shows that firms and jobs are more important for understanding gender wage inequalities than individual-level and occupational-level attributes. I investigate how two mechanisms derived from relational inequality theory, opportunity hoarding and exploitation, affect within-firm gender wage gaps. First, men might exclude women from high-paying firms or jobs (i.e. opportunity hoarding), resulting in gender wage inequalities. Second, male managers might use their relational power to redistribute wages from females to males (exploitation). Increasing the number of female managers might stop this exploitation. While previous literature focused on the effect of female managers on the gender wage gap, I contribute to the literature by also considering the impact of female managers on males’ wages theoretically and empirically. Using German linked employer-employee data and fixed-effect regressions at the firm and job levels, I find evidence for opportunity hoarding at both the firm and the job levels. For the exploitation mechanism, female managers increase females’ wages and lower males’ wages, suggesting the existence of the exploitation mechanism. Further analyses show that the increases in females’ wages are proportional to the decreases in males’ wages. Thus, I find evidence for female managers redistributing males’ wages to females."

    Do Organizational Policies Narrow Gender Inequality? Novel Evidence from Longitudinal Employer-Employee Data (2023)

    Abstract

    "Scholars have long proposed that gender inequalities in wages are narrowed by organizational policies to advance gender equality. Using cross-sectional data, scarce previous research has found an association between gender wage inequalities and these organizational policies, but it remains unclear whether this correlation represents a causal effect. We provide first evidence on this topic by using longitudinal linked employer–employee data covering almost 1,500 firms and nearly one million employee observations in Germany. We investigate whether and how organizational policies affect gender gaps using firm fixed-effects regressions. Our results show that organizational policies reduce the gender wage gap by around nine percent overall. Investigating channels, we show that this effect is entirely driven by advancing women already employed at a given firm, whereas we find no effect on firms’ composition and wages of new hires. Furthermore, we show that our findings are not driven by potential sources of bias, such as reverse causality." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Servitization, Inequality, and Wages (2022)

    Boddin, Dominik & Thilo Kroeger (2022): Servitization, Inequality, and Wages. In: Labour Economics, Jg. 77, H. August. DOI:10.1016/j.labeco.2021.102011

    Abstract

    "This paper studies the effect of servitization, i.e., within-establishment changes in the labor force composition towards higher shares of workers with service occupations, on within-establishment wage inequality. We identify servitization as being a main driver of increasing within-establishment wage inequality. Servitization accounts for roughly 7% of the observed increase in the within-establishment wage inequality in manufacturing industries between 1994 and 2017. Higher servitization of an establishment’s labor force is associated with, on average, a lower wage level for otherwise equal workers across the majority of occupations. The wage decrease is particularly pronounced for workers in low-skilled manufacturing occupations and workers at the lower end of the wage distribution. These heterogeneous wage effects explain the increase in within-establishment wage inequality." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2022 Elsevier) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Wage transparency regulation is widely considered and adopted as a tool to reduce the gender wage gap. We combine field and laboratory evidence to address how and when wage transparency can be effective and explore the role of belief adjustments as a mechanism. In the field, this paper studies a German wage transparency policy that allows employees to request wage information of comparable employees. Exploiting variation across firm size and time, we first provide causal evidence that this regulation does not affect the gender wage gap. In an online laboratory experiment, we study whether the failure of this policy hinges on two aspects: (1) the endogenous availability of wage information, and (2) the absence of performance information. Our data underline the importance of both factors. In contrast to endogenously acquired wage information, exogenously provided wage information does increase overall wages. So does the provision of performance information. However, none of these types of information reduce the gender wage gap. Wage information even deters women from entering negotiations."

    Superstar Teams: The Micro Origins and Macro Implications of Coworker Complementarities: Revised 22 June 2023 (2022)

    Freund, Lukas B. (2022): Superstar Teams: The Micro Origins and Macro Implications of Coworker Complementarities. Revised 22 June 2023. (Cambridge working papers in economics 2276), Cambridge, 108 S. DOI:10.2139/ssrn.4312245

    Abstract

    "This paper proposes a model of the firm as a “team assembly technology,” with the aim of explaining why differences between firms represent a large and growing dimension of wage inequality. In the model, firms assign tasks to workers who vary in overall quality and task-specific skills. Hiring takes place in a frictional labor market. Worker-task specialization not only reinforces the potential gains from team production, but also endogenously generates coworker complementarity: the quality of the least capable team member disproportionately influences joint output. In equilibrium, therefore, employers hire workers of similar quality and those with superstar teams pull away in terms of productivity and pay. The key model mechanisms are validated using rich administrative micro data. A theory-informed measure of coworker complementarity doubles from the mid-1980s to the 2010s, mirroring a shift towards greater task complexity. According to a structural estimation exercise, this rise explains close to 40% of the empirically observed increase in the between-firmshare of wage inequality in Germany. Additionally, the model sheds light on how the interaction between specialization and labor market frictions influences total factor productivity." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Using administrative data for West Germany, we study the relative importance of portable and non-portable agglomeration effects for the urban wage premium. In doing so, we advance the established strategy of estimating wage-tenure profiles for urban-rural and rural-urban movers by adding worker, firm, and match fixed effects. This allows us to distinguish unambiguously between both types of agglomeration effects. Our results show that portable and non-portable agglomeration effects equally contribute to the urban wage premium. Moreover, portable agglomeration effects are not only observed in the biggest cities. Instead, the speed of human capital accumulation continuously increases with city size."

    Hammermann, Andrea, Jörg Schmidt & Oliver Stettes (2022): Fluktuation auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt. Dynamik von Personalbewegungen und deren Einflussfaktoren. (IW-Analysen 149), Köln, 72 S.

    Abstract

    "Die Arbeitskräftefluktuation in Deutschland ist im Zeitverlauf nahezu konstant, sie sinkt jedoch leicht in wirtschaftlichen Krisenzeiten wie der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise und der Corona-Pandemie. Dies liegt unter anderem daran, dass die Personalabgänge maßgeblich durch arbeitnehmerseitige Kündigungen bestimmt sind, die prozyklisch den gesamtwirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen folgen. Während die volkswirtschaftliche Perspektive die Funktion von Personalbewegungen für eine bessere Ressourcenallokation herausstellt, gilt auf betrieblicher Ebene eine hohe Fluktuation häufig als Ausdruck einer geringen Mitarbeiterbindung. Allerdings zeigen sich nur wenige Betriebe (2016 waren es rund 9 Prozent) auch tatsächlich besorgt über das Ausmaß ihrer Fluktuation in den kommenden Jahren. Vielmehr sind Personalwechsel und Beschäftigungsentwicklung stark durch das betriebliche Umfeld wie den Wettbewerbsdruck und die jeweilige personalpolitische Strategie geprägt. Demgegenüber spielt die Diversität der Belegschaft mit Blick auf das Geschlecht, die Altersverteilung und den kulturellen Hintergrund der Beschäftigten für die Dynamik der Personalbewegungen eher eine untergeordnete Rolle. Angesichts steigender Fachkräfteengpässe in Verbindung mit den strukturellen Veränderungen durch den ökologischen und digitalen Wandel könnte die Fluktuation als volkswirtschaftliche Kennziffer und betriebliche Steuerungsgröße noch weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen."

    Körner, Konstantin (2022): Offshoring and Labor Market Outcomes. Evidence from Germany. Berlin, 162 S. DOI:10.18452/23453

    Abstract

    "In der Dissertation werden die Effekte von Offshoring auf dem Arbeitsmarkt eines Hochlohnlandes untersucht. Sie beinhaltet 3 voneinander unabhängige Studien am Beispiel Deutschland. Im 1. Kapitel werden die Lohneffekte von Offshoring untersucht. Dabei wird Arbeit nach der Komplexität seines Aufgabenspektrums unterschieden und Offshoring je nach Lohnniveau des Ziellandes eingeteilt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Offshoring nach Westeuropa zu relativen Lohngewinnen für weniger komplexe Jobs in Deutschland führt, während der Lohn komplexer Jobs negativ beeinflusst wird. Offshoring nach Osteuropa hat entgegengesetzte Lohneffekte. Zudem zeichnet sich ab, dass Offshoring nach Westeuropa mit einer arbeits- und nach Osteuropa mit einer kapitalintensiveren Produktion einhergeht. Das 2. Kapitel untersucht ausländischen Direktinvestitionen (FDI) deutscher multinationale Unternehmen (MNE) in Tschechien. Es wird analysiert wie sich die Beschäftigung verändert, wenn MNE Zugang zu “Niedriglohnarbeit” erhalten. Bei Verwendung des Coarsened Exact Matching und eines Event-Study-Ansatzes ergibt sich, dass das inländische Beschäftigungswachstum von MNE im Vergleich zu nicht-MNE abnimmt. Das betrifft im verarbeitenden Gewerbe vor allem Beschäftigte mit niedrigem oder mittlerem Bildungsabschluss und im Dienstleistungssektor Beschäftigte mit mittlerem oder hohem Bildungsniveau. Das 3. Kapitel basiert auf dem gleichen Daten, um die Auswirkungen von FDI auf die Nachfrage von bestimmten Tätigkeiten zu schätzen. Eine neue Methode schätzt Propensity Scores für FDI-Entscheidungen mithilfe von Lasso-Logit-Regressionen. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass Unternehmen mit viel juristischen oder organisatorischen Aufgaben eher zu FDI neigen. Nach einem Matching-Verfahren, werden in einem Diff-in-Diff-Ansatz die heimischen Nachfrageverschiebungen bestimmter Aufgaben untersucht, nachdem FDI getätigt wurde. MNE erhöhen typische Aktivitäten eines Unternehmenssitz, wie managen, analysieren oder verhandeln. Im verarbeitenden Gewerbe reduzieren sie zudem typische Aufgaben der Produktion wie das Überwachen von Maschinen, Herstellen oder Messen. Im Servicesektor werden hingegen typische Servicetätigkeiten reduziert, wie das Beraten/Informieren, Reparieren sowie medizinische Tätigkeiten." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "In this article, we focus on the gender pension gap for statutory pensions, as statutory pension entitlements cover by far the largest fraction of employees (83%) and retired individuals (81%) in Germany (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales 2016). In addition, they account for most of the income of people over 65 in Germany, while private pensions and the company pension scheme are voluntary benefits and depend highly on an individual’s life situation. In this article, we first quantify the gender pension gap. Then, we discuss two of its major determinants: the “motherhood penalty” and the gender investment gap. We conclude with suggestions on how the gender pension gap can be closed." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "In den letzten Jahrzehnten waren viele Industrieländer durch eine Polarisierung von Arbeitsplätzen gekennzeichnet. Während Verschiebungen der Arbeitsnachfrage, nämlich eine vermehrte Ausübung von Routine-Tätigkeiten sowie die Verlagerung von Arbeitsplätzen ins Ausland, üblicherweise zur Erklärung von Job-Polarisierung herangezogen werden, gibt es nur wenig Evidenz dazu, ob Verschiebungen im Arbeitsangebot entlang der Arbeitsnachfragekurve ebenfalls zu einer Job-Polarisierung geführt haben. In dieser Studie untersuchen wir, inwieweit Verschiebungen des Arbeitsangebots das Phänomen der Job-Polarisierung in Deutschland erklären können. Zu diesem Zweck bestimmen wir unkonditionale Lohnelastizitäten der Arbeitsnachfrage, indem wir zum ersten Mal in der Literatur ein Gewinnmaximierungsmodell mit verknüpften Arbeitgeber-Arbeitnehmer-Daten schätzen. Anders als in bisherigen Studien berücksichtigen wir dabei explizit Produktionsschwankungen und stellen fest, dass negative Skaleneffekte eine große Rolle für Änderungen in der Arbeitsnachfrage spielen. Sowohl für eine Aufteilung der Belegschaft nach Qualifikationsniveaus als auch nach Tätigkeiten zeigen unsere Elastizitäten, dass Angebotsverschiebungen aufgrund von Zuwanderung und eines Rückgangs der Tarifdeckung die Beschäftigungsentwicklung in den 1990er Jahren erfolgreich erklären können."

    Abstract

    "This study presents new evidence on immigrant-native wage differentials estimated in consideration of regional differences regarding the presence of Non-German population in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas between 2000 and 2019 in Germany. Using linked employer-employee-data, unconditional quantile regression models are estimated in order to assess the degree of labor market integration of foreign workers. Applying an extended version of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method, the results provide evidence on driving factors behind wage gaps along the entire wage distribution. There are not only changes in the relative importance of explanatory factors over time, but also possible sources of wage differentials shift between different points of the wage distribution. Differentiating between various areas in Germany, on average, larger wage gaps are revealed in metropolitan areas with at the same time a higher presence of the foreign population. Regarding the size of overall estimated wage gaps, after 2012 a reversal in trend and particular increasing tendencies around median wages are identified." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "Auch wenn Frauen in den letzten Jahren ihren Anteil an Führungspositionen in geringem Maße erhöhen konnten, sind sie in Führungspositionen immer noch deutlich unterrepräsentiert. Organisatorische Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Gleichstellung der Geschlechter und der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie werden als eine Möglichkeit angesehen, die Ungleichheiten zwischen Männern und Frauen zu verringern. Allerdings gibt es nur relativ wenige Betriebe, die formalisiert organisatorische Gleichstellungspolitik betreiben. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersuche ich, ob organisatorische Maßnahmen die Karrierechancen von Frauen erhöhen oder die Übernahme von Führungspositionen in Teilzeit fördern können. Dies wird mit einem deutschen Linked-Employer-Employee-Datensatz (LIAB) von 2012 bis 2016 und logistischen Panelregressionsmodellen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse veranschaulichen, dass vor allem die gezielte Förderung von Frauen deren Aufstiegschancen verbessern. Dies zeigt sich allerdings nicht bei Müttern und deren Chancen auf eine Führungsposition in Teilzeit: diese sind niedriger, wenn Frauenförderung im Unternehmen praktiziert wird. Auch Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Vereinbarkeit, wie die betriebliche Unterstützung bei der Kinderbetreuung oder von Beschäftigten mit pflegebedürftigen Angehörigen haben einen positiven Effekt auf den Aufstieg in Führungspositionen. Die Wirkung familienfreundlicher Arbeitsbedingungen in einem Betrieb ist heterogen: Während Frauen in Betrieben mit solchen Maßnahmen zwar geringere Aufstiegschancen haben, sind ihre Chancen auf eine Führungsposition mit reduzierter Arbeitszeit höher. Die Mitgliedschaft eines Betriebes in einem familienfreundlichen Unternehmensnetzwerk wirkt sich dagegen negativ auf die Karriere- und Aufstiegschancen von Frauen aus." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    The Determinants of Displaced Workers' Wages: Sorting, Matching, Selection, and the Hartz Reforms (2022)

    Abstract

    "We present a simple new method to decompose the wage effects of displacement into components due to differences in the way that displaced and non-displaced workers are sorted across higher- and lower-paying employers (a sorting effect), differences in the quality of worker-employer matches they enter into (a matching effect), and differences in their unobservable characteristics (a selection effect). In an extended application, we apply our decomposition to understand how the determinants of displaced workers' wages in Germany changed following the 2003-2005 Hartz reforms. We find that the wages of displaced workers fell substantially after the reforms, and that over 80 percent of the decline was because they found re-employment at lower-paying employers. Sorting into worse matches explains a smaller 5-9 percent of the wage decline experienced by men, and 12-23.5 percent of the female wage decline. Collectively, the sorting and matching channels explain almost all of the post-reform decline in displaced workers' wages, and selection played little role." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

DOI:10.5771/0038-6073-2022-2-309

    Abstract

    "Ein erheblicher Teil der an- und ungelernten Beschäftigten in Deutschland übt Fachkrafttätigkeiten aus, für die eigentlich ein formaler Berufsabschluss erforderlich ist. Der vorliegende Artikel untersucht vor diesem Hintergrund die Rolle von non-formalen betrieblichen Weiterbildungsaktivitäten für berufliche Aufstiege von An- und Ungelernten im internen Arbeitsmarkt. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach der Rolle regulierender Strukturen. Ausgehend von der Humankapital- und Filtertheorie sowie dem Labor-Queue-Modell werden Hypothesen zum Einfluss betrieblicher Weiterbildungsaktivitäten auf berufliche Statusveränderungen und Lohnzuwächse von vollzeitbeschäftigten An- und Ungelernten formuliert und mit Linked-Employer-Employee Daten (LIAB) für den Zeitraum von 2005 bis 2010 getestet. Unterschiede der Regulierung des internen Arbeits-marktes werden bezüglich tariflicher Standards, einer formalisierten Personalarbeit oder Interessenvertretungsstrukturen untersucht. Darüber hinaus wird die Rolle von Betriebswechseln berücksichtigt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen positiven Zusammenhang von regelmäßigen betrieblichen Weiterbildungsinvestitionen und beruflichen Statusverbesserungen für An- und Ungelernte, die im Untersuchungszeitraum nicht den Betrieb gewechselt haben („Stayer“). Dieser ist stärker in regulierten internen Arbeitsmärkten ausgeprägt und geht dort auch eher mit einer höheren Lohnentwicklung einher. Bei einer hohen Weiterbildungsquote von An- und Ungelernten sinken hingegen die Chancen, zur Fachkraft aufzusteigen. Damit ist der berufliche Aufstieg für An- und Ungelernte in den Betrieben erschwert, die in der Weiterbildung dieser Gruppe besonders aktiv sind. Berufliche Statusverbesserungenlassen sich unter diesen Bedingungen eher im Rahmen von Betriebswechseln(„Mover“) realisieren. Insgesamt verweist die Untersuchung auf die Wichtigkeit regulierender Strukturen des internen Arbeitsmarktes für den beruflichen Aufstieg von An- und Ungelernten im Rahmen betrieblicher Weiterbildung."

    Abstract

    "Previous research shows that female managers narrow the gender wage gap (GWG) among workers but does not disentangle two general underlying mechanisms. First, female managers might use their organizational power to change organizational practices and make organizations more gender-equal. Second, female workers might benefit from interacting with a female manager, e.g. through homophily and mentoring. To disentangle these two mechanisms, I distinguish between female managers at the first management level, which is responsible mainly for organizational practices, and at the second management level, which mainly interacts with workers. Additionally, I consider practices enhancing gender equality, such as work-life balance practices. Using German linked employer– employee panel data and a firm fixed-effects regression, I find that female first-level managers slightly narrow the GWG. This influence is not affected by the consideration of organizational practices. Hence, female first-level managers do not affect workers’ by changing organizational practices. In contrast, female second-level managers considerably narrow the GWG among workers. In summary, female managers substantially reduce the GWG among workers, and this effect works via the manager–worker interaction mechanism. Hence, increasing the share of female second-level managers might close the GWG." (Author's abstract, ) ((en))

    Boddin, Dominik & Thilo Kroeger (2021): Structural change revisited: The rise of manufacturing jobs in the service sector. (Discussion paper / Deutsche Bundesbank 2021,38), Frankfurt am Main, 55 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper reconsiders the labor market consequences of structural change over the past 43 years. Taking two different ways of defining manufacturing and service employment as point of departure - according to the industry classification of firms or establishments and according to the occupation and hence the tasks of the workers - we show that structural change is far less pronounced than generally perceived. Manufacturing and service employment numbers based on the occupations of workers deviate markedly from the employment numbers based on the industry classification of employers. The decline in manufacturing jobs in Germany is far lower if the measurement of employment is based on the occupation of the worker. About 52% of manufacturing jobs that were lost in manufacturing industries between 1975 and 2017 are offset by new manufacturing jobs in service industries. This also has important implications for empirical applications. By way of example, we reestimate the effect of international trade on manufacturing employment based on the occupation of the worker. Contrary to previously identified negative effects, we cannot identify significant effects of import exposure on employment in manufacturing occupations. Using detailed, comprehensive German social security data, we show at the worker level that the service sector increasingly acts as a valuable alternative employment option for workers with manufacturing occupations. We estimate the causal effects of a switch to the service sector on employment outcomes by following workers over time after mass layoffs. The results reinforce our claim that structural change is less pronounced than perceived, as workers who retain their initial occupation and switch to employment in the service sector experience no significant differences in future employment trajectories compared to workers who manage to stay in the manufacturing sector."

    Bonfiglioli, Alessandra & Federica De Pace (2021): Export, Female Comparative Advantage and the Gender Wage Gap. (CEPR discussion paper 15801), London, 52 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper studies the effect of firms' export activity on the gender wage gap among its workers. Using matched employer-employee data from Germany for the period between 1993 and 2007, we show that an increase in a firm's export widens the wage gap between male and female blue-collar workers, while it reduces it between male and female white collars. In particular, the former effect is stronger for workers in routine manual tasks, while the latter is driven by employees performing interactive tasks. This evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that serving foreign markets relies more on interpersonal skills, which reinforces female comparative advantage and reduces (widens) the gender wage gap in white-collar (blue-collar) occupations. Our results, identified out of the variation in wages within firm-worker pairs, are robust to controlling for a series of worker and firm characteristics, and a host of firm, sector, time and state fixed effects, and heterogeneous trends."

    Abstract

    "Die hohe Dynamik der COVID-19-Krise stellt die politischen Entscheidungsträger in aller Welt vor die beispiellose Herausforderung, geeignete Maßnahmen zur Einkommensstabilisierung zu ergreifen. Um solche Maßnahmen angemessen auszugestalten, ist es wichtig, ihre Auswirkungen in Echtzeit zu quantifizieren. Die hierfür benötigten Daten sind jedoch in der Regel nur mit erheblichen Zeitverzögerungen verfügbar. In diesem Papier entwickeln wir einen neuen Ansatz, um die Verteilungswirkungen von makroökonomischen Schocks und der daraus folgenden Politikmaßnahmen in Echtzeit zu analysieren. Unser Ansatz kombiniert verschiedene ökonomische Modelle, die auf Unternehmens- und Haushaltsdaten geschätzt werden: ein VAR-Modell für die Produktionserwartungen, ein strukturelles Arbeitsnachfragemodell sowie ein Mikrosimulationsmodell. Wir wenden unsere Methode im Kontext der COVID-19-Pandemie auf Deutschland an. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die COVID-19-Krise sich in einer spürbaren Verringerung des Bruttoarbeitseinkommens über die gesamte Einkommensverteilung hinweg niederschlägt. Das Steuer-Transfer-System und diskretionäre Krisenmaßnahmen fungieren jedoch als Einkommensstabilisatoren und sorgen dafür, dass der Effekt auf die Verteilung der verfügbaren Haushaltseinkommen progressiv verläuft: Die unteren beiden Dezilgruppen gewinnen Einkommen, die mittleren Einkommensgruppen sind kaum betroffen und nur die oberen Dezile verlieren Einkommen."

    Abstract

    "The transition from vocational education and training to regular employment is an important step in the occupational biography of apprenticeship graduates. In the last decade, the retention rate of apprenticeship completers has remained stable at a high level, and graduates face good job opportunities in Germany. Despite these positive circumstances, not all apprenticeship graduates succeed in the direct transition from vocational training to regular employment and are affected by unemployment. My paper offers deeper insights into training establishment-specific, individual and external regional characteristics that influence the transition process at this crucial point in the employment career. I consider the employment status of apprenticeship graduates by estimating multinomial logit models at three time points after the end of training, namely, one month and one and two years later. Using linked employer-employee data, I find evidence not only that sociodemographic characteristics and training establishment-specific determinants affect the transition at the second threshold but also that regional factors influence the probability of becoming unemployed or remaining with the training establishment after the end of the apprenticeship."

    Abstract

    "This dissertation is comprised of three chapters analyzing how establishments react to increases in pensionable age. Chapter 1: Understanding the Impact of Postponed Retirements on the Hiring Decisions of Firms The solvency of public pension systems in countries with pay-as-you-go pension schemes have led many of these countries to adopt changes in the age of eligibility for full-benefits. One such country is Germany who implemented a change in their pensionable age in a major reform enacted in 1992. There have been multiple studies that have looked at the effectiveness of this reform in terms of older workers delaying their retirements. However, less is known about how firms have reacted to these changes and if these changes in policy have caused firms to change their hiring behavior. Using administrative linked employer-employee data I exploit pre-policy variation in worker age distributions to serve as a source of identification for studying how employers reacted in-terms-of hiring behavior. I find that firms that had a higher share of older workers, and thus were impacted more by the change in pensionable age, decreased their hiring. For a one percentage-point increase in the share of workers who are predicted to have retired under the old pension system the share of workers that are new hires decreases by 0.324 percentage points. This is a 2.16% decrease at the mean. When smaller age bins are studied, I find that this negative impact is found for those aged under 25 and those age 25-34. In contrast there is a positive impact on individuals age 45-54, 55-64, and over 65. When looking at contract types there is an over 7% decrease in the hires of trainees and an over 10% increase in the hires of workers on partial retirement contracts. Chapter 2: Effect of Postponed Retirements on Wage Growth of Younger Workers (with Peter Berg, Mary Hamman, Daniela Hochfellner, Matthew M. Piszczek and Christopher Ruhm) This paper uses linked-employer-employee data to examine the effects of postponed retirements on the wage progression of younger workers within establishments. A German pension reform is the source of identification. We find no evidence of slower wage growth. Instead we find faster wage growth, especially among workers aged 41 to 57. We cannot rule out separations as a mechanism, but patterns in estimates by age and tenure are not consistent with layoffs. Instead, we find evidence of less frequent promotions and we interpret the wage findings as consistent with compensating wage differentials for postponed promotions Chapter 3: Pension Reforms and their Implications for Establishment Downsizing (with Peter Berg, Mary Hamman, Daniela Hochfellner, Matthew M. Piszczek and Christopher Ruhm) While the empirical literature on the effects of pension reform on workers is broad, less is known about the impact on employers. Yet reforms that create incentives to postpone retirement may have extensive effects on employer labor demand and labor costs, especially in settings where there are strict legal protections against age discrimination in employment. Although public pension system reforms generally are structured to treat all workers within the same birth cohort similarly, the impact on employers may vary substantially due to differences in the age composition of their employees. Using this variation as a source of identification, we examine whether the differential impact of pension reform leads to differences in the incidence of workforce downsizing, a sign of possible financial distress. To ensure estimates are not biased due to attrition, we also model associations between the impact of pension reform and establishment closures and find no association. Results for downsizing consistently show establishments with a higher share of older workers are more likely to experience downsizing. When we segment workers within establishments by age, the absolute changes in downsizing probabilities are highest for younger workers. Preliminary results indicate works councils may increase the risk of downsizing for older workers and protect employment for young and prime workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Galassi, Gabriela (2021): Labor Demand Response to Labor Supply Incentives: Lessons from the German Mini-Job Reform. (Staff working paper / Bank of Canada 2021,15), Ottawa, 92 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper analyzes how firms respond to changes in tax benefits for low-earning workers and how, through equilibrium effects, such policies also affect non-targeted, high-earning workers. I explore establishment-level outcomes around Germany's 2003 Mini-Job Reform, which entailed a significant expansion of tax benefits for low-earning workers. Firms' responses are decomposed in terms of the scale effects that arise from lower labor costs and the substitution effects that are due to changes in the relative prices of low- and high-earning employment post-reform. Using a differences-in-differences approach, I document that highly exposed establishments—those with a high proportion of low-earning workers pre-reform—expand their number of employees relative to non-exposed establishments–those with a low proportion of such workers. Importantly, this relative expansion is tilted towards high-earning workers, a group that is not the target of the tax benefits. In addition, non-exposed establishments substitute employment towards low-earning workers without expanding at the same pace. My findings are consistent with a model of the labor market that features tax sharing between workers and firms and simultaneous shifts in labor supply and demand after changes in tax benefits for low-earning workers. In this setting I illustrate that the employment growth the policy intended is accompanied by a reallocation of employment and production between highly exposed firms and non-exposed firms, and this may result in an efficiency loss."

    Abstract

    "This thesis contains four independent essays in heterogeneous agent macroeconomics. They explore the sources of income inequality and income risk and study the optimal design of public redistribution and insurance. The first chapter, joint with Filip Rozsypal, studies the origins of idiosyncratic earnings risk in frictional labor markets, with a particular focus on the role of firms for worker earnings risk. First, using administrative matched employer-employee data from Denmark, we document key properties of the worker earnings growth distribution, the firm revenue growth distribution, and their joint distribution. The worker earnings and firm revenue growth distributions exhibit strong deviations from normality, in particular excess kurtosis, with many workers and firms experiencing very small changes to their earnings/revenues, but a significant minority experiencing very large changes. Large earnings losses are more likely for workers in firms with negative revenue growth, driven both by separations to unemployment and earnings losses on the job. Second, we develop a model framework consistent with the data, with four key features: i) frictional labor markets and on the job search to capture unemployment risk and wage growth through a job ladder, ii) multi-worker firms to capture gross and net worker flows, iii) risk averse workers such that earnings risk matters, and iv) contracting with two-sided limited commitment because earnings of job stayers are changing infrequently in the data. Third, we use the model to explore policies designed to mitigate earnings fluctuations. The second chapter, joint with Annika Bacher and Lukas Nord, studies one particular private insurance margin against individual income risk only available to couples, which is the so called added worker effect. Specifically, we study how this intra-household insurance against individual job loss through increased spousal labor market participation varies over the life cycle. We show in U.S. data that the added worker effect is much stronger for young than for old households. A stochastic life cycle model of two-member households with job search in a frictional labor market is capable of replicating this finding. The model suggests that a lower added worker effect for the old is driven primarily by better insurance through asset holdings. Human capital differences between employed young and old contribute to the difference but are quantitatively less important, while differences in job arrival rates play a limited role. In the third chapter, joint with Axelle Ferriere, Gaston Navarro, and Oliko Vardishvili, we study optimal redistribution, taking into account not just the large income and wealth inequality in the data, but also the distribution of income risk that is key in the first two chapters. The U.S. fiscal system redistributes through a rich set of taxes and transfers, the latter accounting for a large part of the income of the poor. Motivated by this, we study the optimal joint design of transfers and income taxes. Within a simple heterogeneous-household framework, we derive analytical results on the optimal relationship between transfers and tax progressivity. Higher transfers are associated with lower optimal income tax progressivity. Redistribution is achieved with generous transfers while efficiency is preserved via a lower progressivity of income taxes. As such, the optimal tax-and-transfer system features larger progressivity of average than of marginal tax rates. We then quantify the optimal tax-and-transfer system in a rich incomplete-market model with realistic distributions of income, wealth, and income risk. The model features a novel flexible functional form for progressive income taxes and means-tested transfers. Relative to the current U.S. fiscal system, the optimal policy consists of more generous means-tested transfers, which phase-out at a slower rate. These larger transfers are financed with higher tax rates, but the taxes are not more progressive than the current system. The fourth chapter, joint with Axelle Ferriere and Dominik Sachs, also studies optimal redistribution, but instead of considering a stationary environment it analyzes the dynamics of the equity-efficiency trade-off along the growth path. To do so, we incorporate the optimal income taxation problem into a state-of-the-art multi-sector structural change general equilibrium model with non-homothetic preferences. We identify two key opposing forces. First, long-run productivity growth allows households to shift their consumption expenditures away from necessities. This implies a reduction in the dispersion of marginal utilities, and therefore calls for a welfare state that declines along the growth path. Yet, economic growth is also systematically associated with an increase in the skill premium, which raises inequality and the desire to redistribute. We quantitatively analyze these opposing forces for two countries: the U.S. from 1950 to 2010, and China from 1989 to 2009. Optimal redistribution decreases at early stages of development, as the role of non-homotheticities prevails. At later stages of development the rising income inequality dominates and the welfare state should become more generous." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "We investigate learning at the workplace. To do so, we use German administrative data that contain information on the entire workforce of a sample of establishments. We document that having more‐highly‐paid coworkers is strongly associated with future wage growth, particularly if those workers earn more. Motivated by this fact, we propose a dynamic theory of a competitive labor market where firms produce using teams of heterogeneous workers that learn from each other. We develop a methodology to structurally estimate knowledge flows using the full‐richness of the German employer‐employee matched data. The methodology builds on the observation that a competitive labor market prices coworker learning. Our quantitative approach imposes minimal restrictions on firms' production functions, can be implemented on a very short panel, and allows for potentially rich and flexible coworker learning functions. In line with our reduced‐form results, learning from coworkers is significant, particularly from more knowledgeable coworkers. We show that between 4 and 9% of total worker compensation is in the form of learning and that inequality in total compensation is significantly lower than inequality in wages."

    Lochner, Benjamin & Bastian Schulz (2021): Firm productivity, wages, and sorting. (University Aarhus. Economics working paper 2021-04), Aarhus, 58 S.

    Abstract

    "We study the link between firms’ productivity and the wages firms pay. Guided by labor market sorting theory, we infer firm productivity from estimating firm-level production functions, taking into account that worker ability and firm productivity may interact at the match level. Using German data, we find that high wages are not necessarily a reflection of high firm productivity. Observed worker transitions towards higher wages are sometimes directed downwards on the firm-productivity ladder. Worker sorting into high-productivity firms is thus less pronounced than sorting into high-wage firms. Consequently, an implication of increasing wage sorting could be decreasing allocative efficiency." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Outside Options Drive Wage Inequalities in Continuing Jobs: Evidence From a Natural Experiment (2021)

    Lukesch, Veronika & Thomas Zwick (2021): Outside Options Drive Wage Inequalities in Continuing Jobs: Evidence From a Natural Experiment. (ZEW discussion paper 21-003), Mannheim, 47 S.

    Abstract

    "The literature on wage bargaining so far mainly argues that unemployment benefits are relevant outside options for employees. This paper demonstrates that also a change in outside wage options drives wages in continuing jobs. We use the natural experiment of a crafts reform that reduces outside wage options for a clearly defined treatment group of employees in deregulated crafts occupations in comparison to employees in crafts occupations that have not been reformed. Five years after the reform, the wages of employees in deregulated crafts increased by five per cent less than wages of employees in the other group. Reform effects are concentrated in employers with high increases in their median wage level after the reform. Wage differences therefore seem to be the result of wage renegotiations initiated by employees, rather than renegotiations initiated by employers. Works councils or collective bargaining, firm size, firm profits or regional unemployment have no impact on wage differentiation after taking wage increases into account. We show for the first time that changes in outside options induce wage differentiation at the employer level even in the tightly regulated German labour market. We use entropy matching on the basis of a large representative administrative linked employer-employee panel data set to guarantee homogeneous treatment and control groups before the reform. We isolate the outside wage option effect from other wage determinants by restricting our sample to employers not affected by the crafts reform." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Die Eigenlohnelastizität der Arbeitsnachfrage beschreibt den Effekt höherer Löhne auf die Nachfrage nach Arbeit und beeinflusst u.a. die Auswirkungen von Angebotsschocks, Mindestlöhnen oder Tarifabschlüssen am Arbeitsmarkt. Theoretische und empirische Studien zeigen, dass eine Erhöhung des Lohnsatzes Betriebe dazu veranlasst, ihre Arbeitsnachfrage zu reduzieren. Die vorliegende Dissertation umfasst drei wissenschaftliche Aufsätze, die neue empirische Evidenz zur Eigenlohnelastizität der Arbeitsnachfrage enthalten. Die Analyse bezieht sich auf den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt und setzt sich schwerpunktmäßig mit der Wechselwirkung von Arbeitsnachfrage und Friktionen, d.h. Koordinations- oder Transaktionshemmnissen, die den Marktmechanismus beeinträchtigen, auseinander. Neben der Analyse der Arbeitsnachfrage tragen die geschätzten Modelle und Elastizitäten zum Verständnis des deutschen Arbeitsmarktes bei, nämlich im Hinblick auf Job-Polarisierung, Mindestlöhne und Arbeitskräftemangel."
