Goldin (2014) offers a narrative in which gender differences home production responsibilities create gaps labor market outcomes. We carry out model-based quantitative assessment of this and find that it can account for significant share occupational choice, wages, hours. Our analysis emphasizes the significance two key elements not highlighted by Goldin: heterogeneity comparative advantage mult...

En este estudio se verifica en qué medida las muertes y la oferta laboral inciden generación de capital humano el depar-tamento Bolívar durante periodo 2002 – 2009, para lo cual empleó información recolectada por DANE Ministerio Educación Nacional. Inicialmente realiza caracterización análisis variables luego desarrolla un ejercicio eco-nométrico utilizando método efectos fijos con corrección h...

This paper builds a new microdatabase that covers 100 countries at all income levels and long-run time series in the United States (1870–2010) Mexico ( 1960–2010) to document how modern tax system arises over development. I establish set of stylized facts, which show exemption threshold decreases distribution as country develops, tracking growth employee share employment occurs gradually furthe...

We quantify the importance of imperfect competition in US labor market by estimating size rents earned American firms and workers. construct a matched employer-employee panel dataset combining universe business worker tax records for period 2001–2015. Using this data, we identify estimate an equilibrium model with two-sided heterogeneity where workers view as substitutes because heterogeneous p...

Despite the implications for policy, empirical evidence on relative importance of factors that shape labor supply responses is missing. This paper helps fill this gap and quantifies role information frictions versus other by combining notches in Norwegian welfare system quasi-experimental variation access to about slope location kinks. While we estimate a frictionless elasticity 0.3, overall at...

Immigrants can expand labor supply and compete for jobs with native-born workers. But immigrants may also start new firms, expanding demand. This paper uses US administrative data other sources to study the role of in entrepreneurship. We ask how often companies, many these firms create, founded by individuals compare. A simple model provides a measurement framework addressing dual roles as fou...

The cell wall polysaccharides of certain oral streptococci function as receptors for the lectin-like surface adhesins on other members of the oral biofilm community. Recognition of these receptor polysaccharides (RPS) depends on the presence of a host-like motif, either GalNAcbeta1-3Gal (Gn) or Galbeta1-3GalNAc (G), within the oligosaccharide repeating units of different RPS structural types. T...

We use skills surveys from 53 countries to estimate jobs’ amenability working home (WFH). Our measure combines data on self-reported characteristics and internet access into a standardized measure. find that WFH increases with economic development. Women, college graduates, salaried formal workers have jobs are more amenable than the average. The opposite holds for in hotels restaurants, constr...

This paper examines the impact of unemployment insurance (UI) on aggregate employment by exploiting cross-state variation in maximum benefit duration during Great Recession. Comparing adjacent counties located neighboring states, there is no statistically significant increasing UI generosity employment. Point estimates are uniformly small magnitude, and most precise rule out employment-to-popul...

This paper estimates intertemporal labor supply responses to two-year long income tax holidays staggered across Swiss cantons. Cantons shifted from an system based on the previous two years’ a standard annual pay as you earn system, leaving years of untaxed. We find significant but quantitatively very small wage earnings with elasticity 0.025 overall. High earners and especially self-employed d...
