‘Non-excludability’ of skills is suspected to give rise to poaching externalities and cause under-investment in training. To substantiate this hypothesis, the paper at hand investigates the relationship between labor turnover and firms’ dedication to continuing vocational training (CVT) exploiting novel survey data on firms in Germany (BIBB-FluCT data, N = 1.238). Regression analyses of these d...

We present a synthesis between the microeconomic-labor and the macroeconomicequilibrium views of matching in labor markets. We nest a job matching model à la Jovanovic (1984) into a Mortensen and Pissarides (1994)-type equilibrium search environment. The resulting framework preserves the implications of job matching theory for worker turnover and wage dynamics, while allowing for aggregation an...

It has long been understood by welfare researchers that the welfare caseload is quite diverse. Heterogeneity has assumed particular importance in the welfare reform environment of the 1990s because welfare recipients with different characteristics are likely to have different capacities for responding to work-oriented reform. This paper constructs measures of heterogeneity based on the recipien...

Sectoral Transformation, Turbulence, and Labor Market Dynamics in Germany This paper analyzes the interaction between structural change and labor market dynamics in West Germany, during a period in which industrial employment declined by more than 30% and service sector employment more than doubled. Using transition data on individual workers, we document a marked increase in structural change ...

Recently, increasing numbers of scholars have argued that emotional intelligence (EI) is a core variable that affects the performance of leaders. In this study, we develop a psychometrically sound and practically short EI measure that can be used in leadership and management studies. We also provide exploratory evidence for the effects of the EI of both leaders and followers on job outcomes. Ap...

Do firms have the right incentives to innovate in the presence of spillovers? This paper proposes an explicit channel of spillovers through labor flows within a framework of competitive search. Firms can choose to innovate or to imitate by hiring a worker from a firm that has already innovated. We show that with long-term wage contracts information spillovers caused by worker turnover are effi ...

The Insider-Outsider Theory: A Survey This article is an idiosyncratic survey of the insider-outsider theory, describing the vision underlying the theory, and evaluating salient contributions to the literature in the light of this vision. We also indicate what appear to have been dead-ends and red herrings in past research. The first section deals with the theory, concerning how labor turnover ...
