An Econometric Evaluation of the Effectiveness of In‐Work Support for Earnings Progression
In many countries, jobseekers who receive unemployment insurance must commit to an action plan to support their return to work and are monitored and coached to ensure compliance. In some countries means‐tested benefit claimants who are in regular but low income employment are also subject to monitoring and coaching (M&C), in order that they can progress into jobs with a higher level of income. In this paper we study the impact of M&C on in‐work c…
Don't Look Down
We estimate the earnings, hours and income effects of job loss for a representative sample of UK workers from 1991 to 2007. We follow workers before and after job loss, regardless of their labour market state, and we match displaced workers with similar non‐displaced workers. This provides a more comprehensive picture of the effect of job loss in the UK than previously available. Job loss causes a long‐run reduction in income that is due mainly t…
CEO Pay and Voting Dissent Before and After the Crisis
‘Say on pay’ – that is empowering shareholders to vote on the remuneration arrangements of their firm's senior executives – has become an international policy response to the perceived explosion in rewards for top management. In this study, we examine the operation of say in pay in the UK, the country which pioneered its adoption, using the population of non-investment trust companies in the FTSE 350 over the period 2003–12. We find that executiv…
Exchange Rates and Wages in Unionized Labor Markets
The authors investigate the impact of exchange rate movements on wage determination in unionized labor markets. Using a simple model of international oligopoly, the authors show that organized labor has a rational incentive to accept lower wages in the face of a currency appreciation. They examine this proposition empirically using a matched worker-firm data set for Portugal and, though the impact varies considerably with worker characteristics, …
Migration, trade and wages
Fired or Retired? a Competing Risks Analysis of Chief Executive Turnover
We apply duration analysis to model the tenure and mode of exit of CEOs from FTSE 350 companies from 1996-2005, a decade in which corporate governance reforms have sought to increase the accountability of the CEO to shareholders and their representatives on the board. We find a greater likelihood of dismissal in the latter part of the period. However, we also find that the likelihood of forced departure sharply decreases from the fifth year of a …
