    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."

    Grübener, Philipp, Dominik Sachs, Annika Bacher, Lukas Nord, Filip Rozsypal, Axelle Ferriere, Gaston Navarro & Oliko Vardishvili (2021): Essays in Quantitative Macroeconomics: Income, Inequality, Income Risk and Optimal Redistribution. Florenz, 191 S.

    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))

    Learning From Coworkers (2021)

    Jarosch, Gregor, Ezra Oberfield & Esteban Rossi-Hansberg (2021): Learning From Coworkers. In: Econometrica, Jg. 89, H. 2, S. 647-676. DOI:10.3982/ECTA16915

    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."

    Firm productivity, wages, and sorting (2021)

    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))

    Popp, Martin (2021): Labor Demand in Frictional Markets. Erlangen, 281 S.

    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."

    "Die Publikation zeigt, welchen Einfluss der technische Fortschritt auf die Verteilung der Löhne unter Berücksichtigung der Tarifbindung hat. Es findet eine Analyse der Lohnungleichheit in Deutschland statt. Methodisch wird auf Fixed-Effects-Modelle zurückgegriffen. Generell zeigt die empirische Analyse, dass sowohl der technische Fortschritt als auch die Tarifbindung die Verteilung der Löhne beeinflussen. Da der technische Fortschritt die Löhne von Hochqualifizierten erhöht, aber nur einen kleinen Einfluss auf die Lohnhöhe von Mittel- und Geringqualifizierten hat, erhöht dieser die Lohnungleichheit. Im Gegensatz dazu führt der starke positive Effekt der Tarifbindung auf die Lohnhöhe von Mittelqualifizierten dazu, dass sich die Lohnungleichheit reduziert." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "Why are some technological transitions particularly unequal and slow to play out? We develop a theory to study transitions after technological innovations driven by worker reallocation within a generation and changes in the skill distribution across generations. The economy’s transitional dynamics have a representation as a q-theory of skill investment. We exploit this in two ways. First, to show that technology-skill specificity and the cost of skill investment determine how unequal and slow transitions are by affecting the two adjustment margins in the theory. Second, to connect these determinants to measurable, short-horizon changes in labor market outcomes within and between generations. We then empirically analyze the adjustment to recent cognitive-biased innovations in developed economies. Strong responses of cognitive-intensive employment for young but not old generations suggest that cognitive-skill specificity is high and that the supply of cognitive skills is more elastic for younger generations. This evidence indicates that cognitive-biased transitions are slow and unequal because they are mainly driven by changes in the skill distribution across generations. Naively extrapolating from observed changes at short horizons leads to too pessimistic views about their welfare and distributional implications." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "We analyze how and through which channels wage inequality is affected by the rise in automation and robotization in the manufacturing sector in Germany from 1996 to 2017. Combining rich linked employer-employee data accounting for a variety of different individual, firm and industry characteristics with data on industrial robots and automation probabilities of occupations, we are able to disentangle different potential causes behind changes in wage inequality in Germany. We apply the recentered influence function (RIF) regression based Oaxaca-Blinder (OB) decomposition on several inequality indices and find evidence that besides personal characteristics like age and education the rise in automation and robotization contributes significantly to wage inequality in Germany. Structural shifts in the workforce composition towards occupations with lower or medium automation threat lead to higher wage inequality, which is observable over the whole considered time period. The effect of automation on the wage structure results in higher inequality in the 1990s and 2000s, while it has a significant decreasing inequality effect for the upper part of the wage distribution in the more recent time period."

DOI:10.1093/esr/jcaa016

    Abstract

    "Despite the increase in dual-earner couples in Germany over recent decades, starting a family still often leads to a (re-)traditionalization of the division of labour in partnerships, with considerable gender differences in working hours and family obligations remaining. Consequently, after a child is born especially women face the challenge of reconciling career and family. Against this backdrop, a growing proportion of firms has started to create family-friendly working conditions to relieve the burden on their (female) employees. In the course of doing so, firms have also increasingly invested in organizational family-friendly arrangements in recent years. In this paper, we analyse the effects of these arrangements on employees' behaviour by using German linked employer-employee data. We ask how specific organizational family-friendly measures affect a crucial point in women's careers: the employment interruption after childbirth. Based on time-specific piecewise constant models, our results reveal that organizational family-friendly measures positively influence women's return to the labour market after childbirth and thus result in benefits for both firms and employees. Furthermore, we find that the effects of the measures are determined by the structural context and are not time constant but vary according to the age of the child."

    Abstract

    "Die Geburt eines Kindes stellt nach wie vor gerade für den Erwerbsverlauf von Frauen einen kritischen Punkt dar, da sie zumeist mit einer Erwerbsunterbrechung und damit verbunden negativen Karrierekonsequenzen einhergeht. Letztere können jedoch durch eine Fortsetzung des Erwerbsverhältnisses beim bisherigen Arbeitgeber abgemildert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersuchen wir, welche betrieblichen Merkmale die Wahrscheinlichkeit für Betriebswechsel von Müttern nach familienbedingten Erwerbsunterbrechungen reduzieren. Basierend auf Rational Choice Überlegungen und sozialepidemiologischen Argumenten zur Vermeidung von Stress aufgrund antizipierter Rollenkonflikte leiten wir Hypothesen ab, die wir anhand verknüpfter Betriebs- und Beschäftigtendaten testen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass insbesondere konkrete betriebliche familienfreundliche Maßnahmen, wie Unterstützung bei der Kinderbetreuung, die Wechselwahrscheinlichkeit von Müttern beeinflussen. Betriebliche Strukturmerkmale, wie die Betriebsgröße oder Beschäftigtenstruktur, spielen hingegen eine untergeordnete Rolle." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku, © De Gruyter)

    Abstract

    "Using German establishment data, we provide evidence for selection of larger, more productive producers into offshoring. However, the selection is not sharp, and offshoring and nonoffshoring producers coexist over a wide range of the revenue distribution. To explain this overlap, we set up a model of offshoring, in which we decouple offshoring status from revenues through heterogeneity in two technology parameters. In an empirical analysis, we employ German establishment data to estimate key parameters of the model and show that disregarding the overlap has large quantitative effects. It lowers the estimated gains from offshoring by almost 50% and, at the same time, exaggerates the role of the extensive margin for explaining the evolution of German offshoring since the 1990s."

    Abstract

    "I jointly quantify the impact of markups, markdowns, and technology on the decline of the German labor share. I find that markdowns have steepened significantly over the last two decades. The estimated markdown trend explains more than half of the observed decline of the German labor share. A downward trend in the production elasticity of labor, consistent with factor substitution away from labor, accounts for the remainder. I find that markups have remained stable over the last two decades. I assess the welfare consequences of the observed markdown trend using a heterogeneous firm general equilibrium model. I find that the growing markdown wedge has been associated with consumption equivalent welfare losses of 2.9%." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    The exporter wage premium when firms and workers are heterogeneous (2020)

    Abstract

    "In this paper, we develop a new model of international trade, in which workers featur- ing higher innate abilities match with firms featuring higher innate productivities. This model allows us to quantify the effect of trade on labour income inequality when workers have heterogeneous abilities within the broad groups of skilled and unskilled workers. Self- selection of the most productive firms into exporting generates an exporter wage premium, and our framework with skilled and unskilled workers allows us to decompose this pre- mium into its skill-specific components. We employ linked employer-employee data from Germany to structurally estimate the parameters of the model. These parameter estimates imply an average exporter wage premium of 6 percent, with exporting firms paying no wage premium at all to their unskilled workers, while the premium for skilled workers is 15 percent. Measured by the Theil index, moving the economy to autarky would reduce wage inequality within the group of skilled workers by 29 percent, and it would reduce overall labour income inequality by 8 percent."

    Abstract

    "This paper evaluates the effect of foreign takeover on wages of workers in German establishments, using rich linked employer‐employee data from 2003 to 2014. To identify a causal effect of foreign takeover, we combine propensityscore matching with a difference‐in‐difference estimator. We find that a takeover by a foreign investor leads to a wage premium of 4.0 log points in the year after ownership change, which further increases to 6.3 log points three years after acquisition. The wage premium is largest for high‐skilled workers, which is consistent with three theoretical arguments, namely rent appropriation by managers, technology protection, and training on new technology. We also show that the wage premium does not pick up an exporter effect due to a platform investment of the foreign owner, that it takes about four years before it fully develops, that it does not vanish after foreign divestment, and that the wage increase is specific to foreign acquisition instead of ownership change per se."
