Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapidly changing technology, the globalization of markets, and the declining role of unions are just some of the factors that have led to dramatic changes in working conditions in the United States. Little attention has been paid to the difficult measurement problems underlying analysis of the labor market. Labor Statistics Measurement Issues helps to fill this gap by exploring key theoretical and practical issues in the measurement of employment, wages, and workplace practices. Some of the chapters in this volume explore the conceptual issues of what is needed, what is known, or what can be learned from existing data, and what needs have not been met by available data sources. Others make innovative uses of existing data to analyze these topics. Also included are papers examining how answers to important questions are affected by alternative measures used and how these can be reconciled. This important and useful book will find a large audience among labor economists and consumers of labor statistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Census Bureau has recently begun releasing official statistics that measure the movements of firms in and out of business and workers in and out of jobs. The economic analyses in Producer Dynamics exploit this newly available data on establishments, firms, and workers, to address issues in industrial organization, labor, growth, macroeconomics, and international trade. This innovative volume brings together a group of renowned economists to probe topics such as firm dynamics across countries; patterns of employment dynamics; firm dynamics in nonmanufacturing industries such as retail, health services, and agriculture; employer-employee turnover from matched worker/firm data sets; and turnover in international markets. Producer Dynamics will serve as an invaluable reference to economists and policy makers seeking to understand the links between firms and workers, and the sources of economic dynamics, in the age of globalization.

Download or read book Firm and Worker Dynamics in a Frictional Labor Market written by Adrien G. Bilal and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a random-matching model of a frictional labor market with firm and worker dynamics. Multi-worker firms choose whether to shrink or expand their employment in response to shocks to their decreasing returns to scale technology. Growing entails posting costly vacancies, which are filled either by the unemployed or by employees poached from other firms. Firms also choose when to enter and exit the market. Tractability is obtained by proving that, under a parsimonious set of assumptions, all workers' and firm decisions are characterized by their joint marginal surplus, which in turn only depends on the firm's productivity and size. As frictions vanish, the model converges to a standard competitive model of firm dynamics which allows a quantification of the misallocation cost of labor market frictions. An estimated version of the model yields cross-sectional patterns of net poaching by firm characteristics (e.g., age and size) that are in line with the micro data. The model also generates a drop in job-to-job transitions as firm entry declines, offering an interpretation to U.S. labor market dynamics around the Great Recession. All these outcomes are a reflection of the job ladder in marginal surplus that emerges in equilibrium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation bridges the gap between labor and firm dynamics through the study of complex networks in labor markets. With extensive use of large-scale employer-employee matched micro-data and agent-based modeling, we tap into the effects that networked structures (between individuals or between firms) exert in labor outcomes and employment dynamics. Some of the contributions of this work are: (i) the first characterization of a network of firms for an entire economy (connected through labor flows, i.e. labor flow networks); (ii) the study of the relationship between labor flow networks and employment dynamics; (iii) agent-based models that generate rich stylized facts about labor, firm, and social dynamics from microeconomic behavior; (iv) providing the microeconomic foundations of the formation process of labor flow networks by coupling job search models with models about the formation of complex networks. We show that the study of labor dynamics can be enriched by coupling firm dynamics. Using agent-based modeling is a natural way to deal with the heterogeneous experiences of workers and firms while maintaining a simple representation of the labor market. Despite their simplicity these models are grounded on empirical evidence obtained from large-scale micro-data and are capable of generating numerous stylized facts simultaneously. This approach has great potential for the design and evaluation of labor policies. Therefore, governments, regulators, and policy-makers would be greatly benefited from collecting large-scale labor micro-data, analyzing labor flow networks, and developing agent-based models of labor markets.

Book excerpt: We combine information from several different studies and data sets to assemble a fuller, more accurate picture of job flows and worker flows in U.S. labor markets. Our picture characterizes the magnitudes of job and worker flows, the connections between them, their cyclical behavior, differences among identifiable groups of workers and employers, the spatial concentration of job flows, and other aspects of labor market dynamics. We also assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. data sets that are currently available for measuring labor market flows, and we clarify the relationships among various measures of labor market flow activity that appear in the literature. Finally, we discuss prospects for using administrative records maintained by U.S. government agencies to develop new longitudinal data sets that would permit timely, detailed and comprehensive measures of gross job and worker flows

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In recent years there has been a rapid increase in publications analysing employment changes in firms. This study contributes to this empirical literature by investigating the relationship between worker flows and the adjustment of employment. Using a unique set of data of Dutch firms over the period of 1988-1992, it discusses the various concepts of employment dynamics and focuses on the specific role of hires internal movements, disability enrolment, quits, and layoffs. One question addressed is whether firms have internal labour markets to keep their workers. It also investigates the relationship between the disability enrolment of workers and layoffs. Finally, it pays attention to the cost of layoffs and hires, relating those costs to the employment adjustment of firms."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Worker Flows and Job Flows written by Shigeru Fujita and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the quantitative properties of a multiple-worker firm matching model with on-the-job search where heterogeneous firms operate decreasing-returns-to-scale production technology. We focus on the model's ability to replicate the business cycle features of job flows, worker flows between employment and unemployment, and job-to-job transitions. The calibrated model successfully replicates (i) countercyclical worker flows between employment and unemployment, (ii) procyclical job-to-job transitions, and (iii) opposite movements of job creation and destruction rates over the business cycle. The cyclical properties of worker flows between employment and unemployment differ from those of job flows, partly because of the presence of job-to-job transitions. We also show, however, that job flows measured by net employment changes differ significantly from total worker separation and accession rates, because separations also occur at firms with positive net employment changes, and similarly firms that are shrinking on net may hire workers to partially offset attritions. The presence of job-to-job transitions is the key to producing these differences.

Download or read book Firm Dynamics Job Turnover and Wage Distributions in an Open Economy written by A. Kerem Coşar and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the combined effects of reductions in trade frictions, tariffs, and firing costs on firm dynamics, job turnover, and wage distributions. It uses establishment-level data from Colombia to estimate an open economy dynamic model that links trade to job flows in a new way. The fitted model captures key features of Colombian firm dynamics and labor market outcomes, as well changes in these features during the past 25 years. Counterfactual experiments imply that integration with global product markets has increased both average income and job turnover in Colombia. In contrast, the experiments find little role for this country's labor market reforms in driving these variables. The results speak more generally to the effects of globalization on labor markets in Latin America and elsewhere.

Download or read book Firm Dynamics and Random Search Over the Business Cycle written by Richard Audoly and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I build a tractable random search model with firm dynamics, on-the-job search, and aggregate shocks. Multi-worker firms make recruitment decisions, choose whether to enter or exit the market, and design wage contracts. Tractability is obtained by showing that, under a set of assumptions on the recruitment technology, the decisions of workers and firms can be expressed in terms of the firms' current productivity. I introduce a numerical solution method to accommodate aggregate shocks in this environment and show that the model can replicate salient features of both firm-level data on productivity and employment and aggregate time series describing the business cycle. I use this framework to quantify the drivers of worker reallocation over the recent business cycle in Britain.

Download or read book Learning and Labor Market Flows written by Katarina Borovickova and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I study an equilibrium model labor market with firm- and worker- level uncertainty, and evaluate their relative contributions to labor market flows. These flows occur for two reasons. First, firms experience idiosyncratic productivity shocks, to which they react by hiring or shedding workers. In addition, workers switch jobs or leave their current firms for reasons related to their career development. Specifically, workers and firms learn about their match quality while the employment relationship lasts, separating if they infer that their match is poor. Firm-level productivity shocks impact the match quality of the employed workers, which captures the idea that technology is partly embodied in workers and innovation can make some workers less suitable for the new technology. For empirical investigation, I use a large panel dataset of the labor market histories of individuals in Austria. I use the calibrated model to evaluate the contribution of the different mechanisms to the labor market flows. I find that the learning about the match quality drives almost 90% of the separations, while only 10% of the worker separations can be attributed to the firm-level heterogeneity. This suggest that the worker—level heterogeneity and uncertainty is more important for explaining the magnitudes of the worker mobility.
