A Theory of Wage and Turnover Dynamics∗
This paper presents a theory — built on job search, firm specific human capital, and disreputable contracting — to provide a unified explanation for a host of widely documented findings on wage and turnover dynamics. In particular, the theory reconciles two seemingly inconsistent facts: evidence that past wage growth on a job reduces turnover; and yet, using the same data, evidence that there i...
متن کاملA Theory of Turnover and Wage Dynamics∗
We develop a model of turnover and wage dynamics. The main ingredients of the model are insurance, match-specific productivity, and long-term contracting. The model predicts that wages are downward rigid within firms and termination occurs. We apply the model to study the impact of business cycles on subsequent wages and job mobility. Workers hired during a boom have persistent higher future wa...
متن کاملHedonic Wage Equilibrium: Theory, Evidence and Policy
We examine theoretically and empirically the properties of the equilibrium wage function and its implications for policy. Our emphasis is on how the researcher approaches economic and policy questions when there is labor market heterogeneity leading to a set of wages. We focus on the application where hedonic models have been most successful at clarifying policy relevant outcomes and policy eff...
متن کاملDual Wage Rigidities: Theory and Some Evidence
This paper investigates wage dynamics assuming the potential presence of dual wage stickiness: with respect to both the frequency as well as the size of wage adjustments. In particular, this paper proposes a structural model of wage inflation dynamics assuming that although workers adjust wage contracts at discrete time intervals, they are limited in their abilities to adjust wages as much as t...
