Veranstaltungsformat: Präsenz
Urban Labor Markets and Local Income Inequality
Urban labor markets provide agglomeration advantages to workers and firms. However, the distributional consequences are not fully understood.
Wissenschaft trifft Praxis – Arbeitskräftesicherung
Die Nachfrage nach Arbeitskräften liegt auf Rekordniveau - trotz der wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen durch Corona und den Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine. Die bevorstehende demographische Schrumpfung macht zur nachhaltigen Finanzierung der Sozialversicherungssysteme auch künftig eine Erhöhung und Mobilisierung des Arbeitskräftepotenzials erforderlich.
Um Mangelsituationen am Arbeitsmarkt entgegen zu wirken, ist eine bessere Nutzung des vorhandenen Arbeitskräftepotenzials insbesondere bei Frauen und Älteren sowie eine zukunftsfähige Zuwanderungsstrategie notwendig. Hinzu kommen Anstrengungen im Ausbildungsbereich.
Wir laden Sie herzlich ein zur Konferenz Arbeitskräftesicherung am 25. und 26. Oktober 2023 nach Nürnberg in die Zentrale der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Auf der Basis von Forschungsbefunden und praktischen Erfahrungen wollen wir gemeinsam konkrete Handlungsoptionen diskutieren, wie der Arbeitskräftebedarf auch in Zukunft gedeckt werden kann.

Workshop “Social Policy”
This two-day conference seeks to bring together researchers addressing different aspects of social policy.
Regional economies in times of crises, demographic ageing and structural change
Labor and Wealth Dynamics in Equilibrium
This paper develops a macroeconomic model that combines an incomplete-markets overlapping-generations economy with a job ladder featuring strategic wage bargaining and endogenous search effort of employed and non-employed workers. The model is able to capture the empirical relationships between search activity, labor market transition, earnings and wealth that we document in German data. We use the calibrated model to analyze the determinants of job mobility, earnings and wealth dynamics over the life cycle. We further examine the impact of unemployment insurance and progressive taxation for labor market dynamics, wage inequality and macroeconomic outcomes.
Social policy and the labour market in turbulent times: (no) need for change?
This workshop aims to improve the knowledge on welfare and unemployment dynamics and social security under different institutional settings. It is also about the question of how benefit recipients can be helped to leave benefit receipt permanently.
Bargaining in the Labor Market
This paper examines the incidence and consequences of individual wage bargaining. We collected survey data on the bargaining policies of more than 700 German firms. Using these data, we validate a new survey measure of firm bargaining policies. We then examine what drives heterogeneity in firm policies. Using the link between these data, administrative Social Security records, and a survey we fielded to 135,000 German workers, we examine the dynamics of bargaining in the labor market. In the last part of the paper we examine the implications of individual-bargaining for wage inequality. We also draw a link between individual specific pay premia and bargaining behavior.
