    In this paper we document the wage structure and labor mobility in the Netherlands in the period 1999-2003. We explain the importance of wage-setting institutions in the Netherlands and the main actors. The analyses are based on administrative sources allowing for comparisons between and within firms, and in which workers can be followed over time. In the period investigated the Netherlands experienced an increase in wage inequality. Despite the centralized system of wage negotiations in the Netherlands, our findings suggest that market forces were the main determinant of wage growth. Workers with similar wages experienced similar wage increases in firms of different sizes. Wages increases were larger for low-skilled workers in industries with large increases in demand than in other industries. Variation in wage growth was mainly at the individual level. Firm-level wage increases accounted for only 12 % of the total variation.

    In this paper we study the joint decision process of changing the structure of jobs and laying off individual workers in a firm that downsizes its workforce. A hierarchical decision model is proposed and estimated using personnel data from a firm in demise comparing the characteristics of the individual workers and the structure of the firm's labour force before and after its reorganization. Our results show that workers in jobs in the top levels of each skill group's hierarchy are better protected against downsizing due to larger productivity shocks and larger firing costs. -- hierarchies ; restructuring ; control span ; job displacement

    Building on Lazear's skill weights approach, we study the effect of having more or less heterogeneity in the training curriculum on supply of and demand for apprenticeship training. Modernizations of training curricula provide us with a quasi‐experimental setting as these modernizations can be seen as a relatively exogenous shock. We argue that firms will train more apprentices when they have more choice options in the training curriculum because of (1) the higher productivity of graduates who have acquired more skills that are relevant for the firm and (2) firms' higher market power in the wage bargaining process with graduates. We test this hypothesis on data on the supply of apprenticeship places in Germany in all occupations from 2004 to 2014. We find that a more heterogeneous curriculum increases both firms' supply of and students' demand for training places.

    Die Stellenerhebung des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) liefert quartalsweise repräsentative Daten über Anzahl und Struktur der offenen Stellen, die aus anderen Quellen nicht verfügbar und deshalb einmalig sind. Einbezogen sind gemeldete und nicht gemeldete offene Stellen. Umfangreiche Überprüfungen und Tests führten zur Entwicklung eines neuen Hochrechnungsverfahrens. Im Ergebnis kommt es zu einer Abwärtsrevision beim gesamtwirtschaftlichen Stellenangebot. Der hier vorgelegte Forschungsbericht gibt zunächst einen Überblick über Ziele und Inhalte der IAB-Stellenerhebung und beschreibt anschließend die einzelnen Schritte bei der Entwicklung eines neuen Hochrechnungsverfahrens, ausgehend vom bisher angewendeten Verfahren. Er präsentiert die neue Hochrechnungsmethode und zeigt, dass sich durch ihre Anwendung die Qualität der Befragungsergebnisse verbessert. Mit der neuen Hochrechnung werden für das gesamtwirtschaftliche Stellenangebot revidierte Zeitreihen bis zum Jahr 2000 zurück vorgelegt, wobei die Vergleichbarkeit zwischen dem Zeitraum vor 2010 und ab 2010 eingeschränkt ist. Der Forschungsbericht präsentiert die Ergebnisse für beide Zeiträume und jeweils für den Vergleich von neuer und alter Hochrechnung. The German Job Vacancy Survey delivers representative data on the number and structure of vacancies in Germany. Such data cannot be derived from other sources and are therefore unique. The survey includes registered and non-registered vacancies. In course of extensive tests and reviews a new extrapolation procedure has been developed. As a result, the aggregate vacancy supply is revised downwards. The research report is organised as follows: Firstly, an overview about the aim and content of the German Job Vacancy Survey is given. Subsequently, the evolution of the new extrapolation procedure is described. Thirdly, the new method is presented and it is shown that the adaption of it significantly improves the quality of the survey results. Along with the new extrapolation procedure a revised time series dating back to 2000 is given. However, figures before and after 2010 cannot be directly compared. The research report presents the results for both time periods and compares the new and old extrapolation methods.

    This paper analyses the impact of risk attitudes on the decision to become self-employed among individuals who grew up under the communist regime in Ukraine, which banned self-employment so that individuals could not observe what it is like to be self-employed. Since the intra-family transmission of self-employment experiences was largely shut down, the observed correlation between risk preferences and self-employment after transition is unlikely to be driven by parents transmitting self-employment experience and risk preferences to their children. Robustness checks on a sample of East Germans confirm that such a third factor explanation is implausible, thus shedding light on the causal nature of the relation between risk preferences and the decision to become self-employed.

    We relate risk attitudes and patience of young graduates from high-school, college and university, measured around the time that they start their labor market career in a large representative survey, to the riskiness and timing of earnings in the occupations they choose to work in. We find a systematic positive and significant relation between willingness to take risks and measures of occupational earnings risks and employment risk that we derive from a large administrative data set. Patient individuals are significantly more likely to choose for occupations with a steep earnings profile. Individuals whose economic preferences are not well aligned with the riskiness and timing of earnings in their initial occupation are more likely to change to an occupation that better matches their economic preferences.

    Firms commonly use supervisor ratings to evaluate employees when objective performance measures are unavailable. Supervisor ratings are subjective and data containing supervisor ratings typically stem from individual firm level data sets. For both these reasons, doubts persist on how useful such data are for evaluating theories in personnel economics and whether findings from such data generalize to the labor force at large. In this paper, we examine personnel data from six large companies and establish how subjective ratings, interpreted as ordinal rankings of employees within narrowly defined peer-groups, correlate with objective career outcomes. We find many similarities across firms in how subjective ratings correlate with earnings, base pay, bonuses, promotions, demotions, separations, quits and dismissals and cautiously propose these as empirical regularities. -- subjective performance ratings ; personnel data ; employee careers
