On the Short-Run Effects of Labor Market Reforms
This paper evaluates the effects of introducing labor market flexibility into a small open economy characterized by tenure-increasing separation taxes. The model, which is calibrated to Argentinean observations, is subjected to different reforms: 1) the elimination of all separation costs, 2) the introduction of temporary contracts, and 3) the elimination of the separation costs from all new hi...
متن کاملMobility Costs and the Dynamics of Labor Market Adjustments to External Shocks: Theory1
We construct a dynamic, stochastic rational expectations model of labor reallocation that is designed so that its key parameters can be estimated for trade policy analysis. A key feature is the presence of time-varying idiosyncratic moving costs faced by workers. As a consequence of these shocks: (i) Gross ‡ows exceed net ‡ows (an important feature of empirical labor movements); (ii) the econom...
متن کاملLike Father, Like Son: Labor Market Networks and Social Mobility
We build a model where investments in human capital depend on the state of an individual’s social network. We show that correlation patterns between parents’ and children’s human capital investment and income depend on the structure of their social network. Heavier reliance on the social network increases the correlation of human capital investments and income across generations and decreases t...
متن کاملJob Market Paper Inequality and Economic Growth: Bridging the Short-run and the Long-run
I analyze the effect of inequality on growth over different time-frames. In a large cross-country dataset for the period 1950-2007 I find evidence of a short-run (5-year periods) and medium-run (10-year periods) inverse-U relationship between inequality and growth. In the long-run (20-year periods), however, inequality has a negative effect on growth in poor countries, and a positive effect in ...
متن کاملBlack Market and Official Exchange Rates: Long-run Equilibrium and Short-run Dynamics
This paper provides further empirical results on the relationship between black market and official exchange rates in six emerging economies (Iran, India, Indonesia, Korea, Pakistan, and Thailand). First, it applies both time series techniques and heterogeneous panel methods to test for the existence of a long-run relation between these two types of exchange rates. Second, it tests formally the...
