The Impact of Social Insurance Reform on Skill Composition and Worker Turnover
Worker Turnover and Job Reallocation
This paper uses employer-employee data to jointly examine worker turnover and job flows in Ethiopia. We find substantial worker turnover (38%) at the aggregate level. Nearly half of this turnover is driven by establishment-level job flows, while the other half is accounted for by excess turnover or churning. A substantial part of hiring (separation) occurs among downsizing (growing) establishments, underscoring that worker flows are much higher t…
Road Infrastructure and Enterprise Dynamics in Ethiopia
We analyse the relationship between road infrastructure quality and the location choice and entry size of manufacturing firms in Ethiopia. We use GIS-based panel data on town-level measures of road infrastructure and census-based panel data on firms. Our dataset covers a period of considerable improvements in road infrastructure as a result of major public investments. We find that local infrastructure is important for entry, while more extensive…
Survival of Private Sector Manufacturing Establishments in Africa
Competitive Selection and Technological Capabilities in Ethiopian Manufacturing
Firm Heterogeneity and Market Selection in Sub-Saharan Africa
This article investigates the processes of market selection and industry dynamics in a sub‐Saharan Africa context. Using census‐based longitudinal data, it examines the distribution of productivity within an industry to determine whether patterns of firm entry, exit, and survival are driven by underlying efficiency differences. It also estimates the contributions to industry‐level productivity growth of producer turnover and the reallocation of r…
