Earnings Dynamics, Inequality, and Firm Heterogeneity
Studies of individual earnings dynamics typically overlook firm heterogeneity, while worker and firm decompositions of earnings inequality often neglect the life cycle. We study firm effects in individual earnings dynamics for the Italian private sector population, using the covariance structure of co‐worker earnings for identification. We allow for dynamics of both worker and firm effects, as well as worker‐firm sorting and worker segregation. W…
The long run earnings effects of winning a mayoral election
Family, Community and Long-Term Socio-Economic Inequality: Evidence from Siblings and Youth Peers
Using administrative data for the population of Danish men and women, we develop an empirical model which accounts for the joint earnings dynamics of siblings and youth community peers. We provide the first decomposition of the sibling correlation of permanent earnings into family and community effects allowing for life-cycle dynamics and extending the analysis to consider other outcomes. We find that family is the most important factor influenci…
Who benefits from privileged peers? Evidence from siblings in schools
By comparing siblings attending the same school at different points in time, we investigate whether the effect of peer quality on long‐term labor market outcomes varies with parental background. We find that exposure to better peers—who have higher mean parental education—increases lifetime earnings of disadvantaged students, coming from families with low parental education, but penalizes privileged students from better educated families. These r…
Correlation of Brothers' Earnings and Intergenerational Transmission
We model the correlations of brothers' earnings isolating the effect of fathers' earnings from additional residual influences shared between brothers. We separate the two effects by analysing sibling correlations and intergenerational correlations jointly within a unified framework. Our multi-person model of earnings dynamics distinguishes permanent from transitory shocks, allows for heterogeneous life cycle effects and nests previous models. Usi…

Temporary Employment, Job Flows and Productivity: A Tale of Two Reforms
We investigate the effects of two reforms of temporary employment using panel data on Italian firms. We exploit variation in their implementation across regions and sectors for identification. Our results show that the reform of apprenticeship contracts increased job turnover and induced the substitution of external staff with firms’ apprentices, with an overall productivity-enhancing effect. The reform of fixed-term contracts instead did not pro…
Earnings mobility among Italian low-paid workers
Modelling low income transitions
We examine the determinants of low income transitions using first‐order Markov models that control for initial conditions effects (those found to be poor in the base year may be a non‐random sample) and for attrition (panel retention may also be non‐random). The model estimates, derived from British panel data for the 1990s, indicate that there is substantial state dependence in poverty, separate from persistence induced by heterogeneity. We also…
Volunteer Labour Supply: The role of workers’ motivations
In this paper we study the determinants of volunteering. We depart from previous literature that considers only economic incentives and investigate the role that extrinsic and intrinsic motivations play in shaping the supply of voluntary labour. We build on previous theoretical research and derive a framework for interpreting results from our econometric analysis. We consider a sample of Italian workers of which we can observe proxies of motivati…
Multivariate Probit Regression using Simulated Maximum Likelihood
We discuss the application of the GHK simulation method for maximum likelihood estimation of the multivariate probit regression model and describe and illustrate a Stata program mvprobit for this purpose.
Who Stays Poor? Who Becomes Poor? Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
We estimate a first-order Markov model of poverty persistence and entry rates for working-age Britons and demonstrate the importance of controlling for endogenous selection via initial poverty status and attrition. Predicted poverty transition rates reveal substantial heterogeneity in poverty transition rates, but there is also substantial genuine state dependence in poverty.
