Pay-as-they-get-in
We study whether a better knowledge of the functioning of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pension systems and recent demographic trends affects natives’ attitudes toward immigration. In two online experiments conducted in Italy and Spain, we randomly treated participants with a video explaining how, in PAYG systems, the payment of current pensions depends on the contributions paid by current workers. The video also informs participants about population agin…
Non-Compete Agreements in a Rigid Labour Market
In medio stat victus
After falling for four decades, statutory retirement ages are increasing in most OECD countries. The labor market adjustment to these reforms has not yet been thoroughly investigated by the literature. We draw on a major pension reform that took place in Italy in December 2011 that increased the retirement age by up to six years for some categories of workers. We have access to a unique dataset validated by the Italian social security administrat…
Populism and Civil Society
Since Tocqueville (1835), civil society has been recognized as a cornerstone of liberal democracy. But populists claim to be the only legitimate representatives of the people, leaving no space for civil society. Are populism and civil society enemies? To answer this question, we look at voters’ choices in Europe. We find that individuals belonging to associations are less likely by 1.6–2.8 percentage points to vote for populist parties, which is …
Solo Self-Employment and Alternative Work Arrangements
The nature of self-employment is changing in most OECD countries. Solo self-employment is increasing relative to self-employment with dependent employees, often being associated with the development of gig economy work and alternative work arrangements. We still know little about this changing composition of jobs. Drawing on ad-hoc surveys run in the UK, US, and Italy, we document that solo self-employment is substantively different from self-emp…
Immigration, Housing Discrimination and Employment
We use a new data set on Italy and a novel identification strategy to analyse the relationship between migrants' employment status and the percentage of non‐Italians living nearby. Our data contain information at the very local level and are representative of both legal and illegal migrants. Identification exploits the physical characteristics of local buildings as a source of exogenous variation in the incidence of migrants. We find that migrant…
EMU Labour Markets Two Years On
Desperately seeking a middleman
In order to cope with its political crisis and to be part of the recovery from the European-wide recession, Italy badly needs a middleman; a person with an untarnished reputation; someone people trust. In this paper we recall the main steps that led us to the current confidence crisis. We also argue that Italy had such a middleman, Mario Monti, but his engagement in politics after he had promised not to do so has revealed that promises made even …
Brain Drain and Brain Gain
This volume reviews the most recent research on brain drain and brain gain, producing new original results by the means of data sources specifically assembled for this study, and addressing several key policy issues. Part I focuses on brain gain, that is, it takes the standpoint of the recipient country. The first section provides an overview of skill‐selective immigration policies in the main destination countries and of the major shifts in thes…
Does information increase political support for pension reform
The Ruling Class
The ruling class plays a major role in our societies. It makes possible what would otherwise be infeasible, by shifting out those constraints that stand in the way of long-term growth. Historically, economists devoted far less attention than sociologists to the study of ruling classes. Using the theoretical tools of economists, this book provides an understanding of what drives the formation of a ruling class, and the relationship between politic…
Immigration to the Land of Redistribution
Negative perceptions about migrants in Europe are driven by concerns that foreigners abuse welfare. Paradoxically, instruments of social inclusion are becoming weapons of mass exclusion. We compare evidence on welfare access and the net fiscal position of migrants with perceptions based on a largely unexploited database (EU‐SILC). We find no evidence that legal migrants, notably skilled migrants, are net recipients of transfers from the state. Ho…
Do unemployment benefits promote or hinder job reallocation
Preferences for Collective Versus Individualised Wage Setting
Standard models of equilibrium unemployment assume exogenous labour market institutions and flexible wage determination. This article models wage rigidity and the coverage of collective bargaining endogenously, when workers differ by observable skill and may adopt either individualised or collective wage bargaining. In the calibrated model, a substantial fraction of workers and firms as well as the median voter prefer collective bargaining to the…
Pension Reforms and Women Retirement Plans
Two Tier Reforms of Employment Protection
Labour market reforms increasing flexibility 'at the margin' have been recently paying out in terms of employment growth. This article argues that two-tier labour market reforms have a transitional 'honeymoon', job creating effect. In a dynamic model of labour demand under uncertainty, the article predicts that in the aftermath of reforms, beyond an increase in employment, there should be a reduction in 'employment inaction' and in the mean and c…
Women at Work
Covering employment and wage gender gaps, participation of women, fertility, and the welfare of children, this insightful volume discusses how the trend towards greater participation of women in labour markets interacts with gender differences in pay. It focusses on the scope for increasing the number of women in the labour force without negatively affecting the development of their children. The need for this volume has become self evident. At t…
Socijalna politika
Tito Boeri jedan je od poznatijih i produktivnijih istraživaca na podrucju komparativne socijalne politike koji se ovom temom bavi prvenstveno iz ekonomisticke perspektive, ekspert je pri mnogim nadnacionalnim organizacijama i clan prestižnih istraživackih mreža poput IZA i CEPR. Ovdje predstavljamo jedan njegov rad u kojemu kroz niz empirijskih nalaza propituje potrebu za snažnijom koordinacijom europskih socijalnih politika, pocevsi od pitanja …
EMU Labour Markets Two Years On
EMU is a completely new policy regime which has significant economic implications and which, it is hoped, will ultimately enhance the role of Europe on the world stage. EMU and Economic Policy in Europe takes stock of the initial experiences of EMU and assesses the challenges which will have to be addressed in the early years of its existence to ensure its long-term objectives are successfully achieved.
Pension Reforms and the Opinions of European Citizens
This paper sheds light on the difficulties of pension reforms by analyzing the citizens ́opinions on different aspects of the welfare state and its redistributive programs. We focus on the pension system, reporting the results of a questionnaire conducted in Germany and Italy in the Fall 2001. Our questionnaire was designed to shed light on the following issues: Are citizens aware of the unsustainability of the pension system and informed of its …
Immigration Policy and the Welfare System
This book draws together and unifies analysis of immigration into the major EU countries and the US, making digestible and transparent the major trends and dramatic developments of the past decade. While the influence of the welfare state on immigration incentives is a key issue, various other influences on both legal and illegal migration are analyzud, together with the implications of migration for the market outcomes on these two continents
Institutional Determinants of Labor Reallocation in Transition
The transition process differed in the countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and those of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in terms of reallocation of labor real wage, employment and output adjustment. We sift through the theoretical and empirical literature to find an explanation for these diverging adjustment trajectories and conclude that they can be explained by the fact that the CEE countries adopted social policies that upheld wages at…
Welfare and Employment in a United Europe
Welfare and Employment in a United Europe takes a nuanced approach to the issues. Unusual for an edited volume, it consists of two long studies—each written by a group of economists working in four different countries of the European Union—followed by commentary. Over the last twenty years, fifteen Western European nations have removed most barriers to trade and migration, as well as most forms of national discrimination in economic and social ex…
Would you like to shrink the welfare state? A survey of European citizens
Welfare state reform A survey of what Europeans want The fundamental problems facing European welfare states – high unemployment and unsustainable public pensions plans in particular – have been in the political debate for years, so why have we seen so little reform? To find out, we surveyed the opinions of citizens in France, Germany, Italy and Spain on their welfare states and on various reform options. This is what we found. First, most worker…
Structural Change, Welfare Systems, and Labour Reallocation
This books deals with labour reallocation in the midst of structural change, drawing on the experience of economic transition in formerly planned economies. It details those features of social welfare systems best suited to fostering structural change while at the same time reducing social costs. The interaction between labour and social policies is studies, showing the crucial role that non-employment benefits play in both the scope and the spee…
