The Distribution of Talent Across Contests
Do the contests with the largest prizes attract the most able contestants? To what extent do contestants avoid competition? We show that the distribution of abilities is crucial in determining contest choice. Complete sorting exists only when the proportion of high‐ability contestants is small. As this proportion increases, high‐ability contestants shy away from competition and sorting decreases, making reverse sorting a possibility. We test our …
Gender Gaps in Performance
This paper documents the gender gap in performance among high-skilled professionals in the United States. On the basis of widely used performance measures in law firms, we find that male lawyers bill 10 percent more hours and bring in more than twice as much new client revenue as female lawyers. The differential impact across genders in the presence of young children and differences in aspirations to become a law firm partner account for a large …
Gender and the labor market
Genre et marché du travail
Les économistes expliquent généralement les différences de position sur le marché du travail entre hommes et femmes à l’aide de trois facteurs : la discrimination, des préférences différentes ou un écart de productivité. Ces facteurs sont cependant difficiles à démêler les uns des autres. L’approche expérimentale se donne pour but de produire des résultats robustes sur ces questions, et notamment sur l’analyse de la potentielle discrimination sur…
Privatization and the Decline of Labour's Share
Some authors have suggested that deregulation of product and labour markets is responsible for the decline in Labour's share of GDP. A simple model predicts that privatization is associated with a lower labour share, due to job shedding. We test this hypothesis by focusing on privatization of network industries in the OECD. We find that, on average, privatization accounts for a fifth of the fall of Labour's share, and over half in Britain and Fra…
