  • The impact of a missing school graduation cohort on the training market

    Open AccessMatthias Dorner, Katja Görlitz et al.ARTICLEEconomics of Education Review2024

    This study analyzes whether the training market responds to a reduced supply of trainees by decreasing the number of hired trainees and increasing their wages based on administrative data. The empirical identification uses exogenous regional and time variation in the occurrence of a missing school graduation cohort that shifts the supply of potential trainees downwards. The results show that the missing cohort decreases new hires by 10 % and rais…

  • The spatial decay of human capital externalities - A functional regression approach with precise geo-referenced data

    Open AccessJohann Eppelsheimer, Elke J Jahn et al.ARTICLERegional Science and Urban…2022

    This paper analyzes human capital externalities from high-skilled workers by applying functional regression to precise geocoded register data. Functional regression enables us to describe the concentration of high-skilled workers around workplaces as continuous curves and to efficiently estimate a spillover function determined by distance. Furthermore, our rich panel data allow us to address the sorting of workers and disentangle human capital ex…

  • Reassessing the foreign ownership wage premium in Germany

    Open AccessHartmut Egger, Elke J Jahn et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2020

    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 propensity‐score 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 poin…

  • Do Employers Have More Monopsony Power in Slack Labor Markets

    Open AccessBertrand Hirsch, Boris Hirsch et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2018Cited by: 5References: 38

    This article confronts monopsony theory's predictions regarding workers' wages with observed wage patterns over the business cycle. Using German administrative data for the years 1985 to 2010 and an estimation framework based on duration models, the authors construct a time series of the labor supply elasticity to the firm and estimate its relationship to the unemployment rate. They find that firms possess more monopsony power during economic dow…

  • Is There Monopsonistic Discrimination against Immigrants

    Open AccessBertrand Hirsch, Boris Hirsch et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2015Cited by: 13References: 55

    The authors investigate immigrants' and natives' labor supply to the firm within an estimation approach based on a dynamic monopsony framework. Applying duration models that account for unobserved worker heterogeneity to a large administrative employer-employee data set for Germany, they find that immigrants supply labor less elastically to firms than do natives. Under monopsonistic wage setting, the estimated elasticity differential predicts a 7…

  • Do Changes in Regulation Affect Employment Duration in Temporary Help Agencies

    Open AccessManfred Antoni, Elke J JahnARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2009Cited by: 3References: 32

    The employment duration of workers in temporary help agencies is seen as an important indicator of their job quality. Most of the countries that regulate temporary agency employment do so to ensure at least a minimal level of employment stability. Over the past three decades Germany has repeatedly liberalized the law on temporary agency employment. These successive reforms should have affected the employment duration in the temporary employment s…

  • Contracting-out employment services

    Open AccessElke J Jahn, Wolfgang OchelARTICLEJournal of European Social Policy2007Cited by: 6References: 2

    Since 2003, the German Public Employment Service has been experimenting with the contracting-out of various services. One of the new labour market programmes is Personnel Service Agencies (PSAs), which provide client firms with jobseekers on a temporary assignment basis and are responsible for integrating jobseekers into non-subsidized employment. By contracting-out employment services, the Public Employment Service seeks to exploit efficiency ga…
