abstract = {Fixed search costs, that is, costs that do not vary with search duration, can amplify the cyclical volatility of the labor market. To assess the size of fixed costs, we analyze the relation between search costs and search duration using German establishment data. An instrumental variable estimation shows no relation between search duration and search costs. We conclude that search costs are mainly fixed costs. Furthermore, we show that a search and matching model, calibrated for Germany with fixed costs close to 75%, can generate labor market volatility that is consistent with the data.},

abstract = {To what extent is the gender wage gap of fulltime employees due to differences in productivity-related characteristics, to discrimination of female employees, and how is the wage gap affected by firm specific features? To analyze these problems we use a linked employer-employee database in 2000, made available by the German Institute for Labour Market Research. In particular, we address the effect on wage levels of the sex composition of occupations within firms (job cells). Our estimations rely on the decomposition of the wage differential proposed by Oaxaca and Blinder. We find that only one third of the gender gap in wages is explained by human capital differences between men and women. With increasing proportions of women within job cells we observe decreasing wage levels for men and women but with higher rates of decline for women than for men. While works councils are shown to have a positive impact on wage levels, women are found to profit most from their presence within firms.},

abstract = {This paper proposes a new approach to evaluate the macroeconomic effects of the “Hartz IV” reform, which reduced the generosity of long-term unemployment benefits. We propose a model with different unemployment durations, where the reform initiates both a partial effect and an equilibrium effect. We estimate the relative importance of these two effects and the size of the partial effect based on the IAB Job Vacancy Survey. Our approach does not hinge on an external source for the decline in the replacement rate for long-term unemployed. We find that Hartz IV was a major driver for the decline of Germany’s steady state unemployment and that partial and equilibrium effect were of equal importance. In addition, we provide direct empirical evidence on labor selection, one potential dimension of recruiting intensity.
We analyse whether wage differences between cities and rural areas in western Germany are due to unobserved differences in regional price levels. Since regional prices are available for only 10% of the regions we use multiple imputation to generate prices for all regions. Our results show that the nominal agglomeration wage differential is 25%, whereas the real differential is 19%. If we control for the composition of the labour force and jobs, the real wage differential is 4%. If we additionally control for differences in regional building land prices the agglomeration wage differential vanishes.},

abstract = {While not all couples allocate the same amount of money to each partner, there is no difference in the proportion of men and women who have more money at their disposal than their partners. A number of hypotheses are tested concerning the amount of money allocated to individual partners, and the effects are basically the same for men and women. Investigation of the effects on the within-couple differences in personal spending money shows that the balance shifts in favor of the male partner if his education is superior to that of the female partner. This holds specifically for couples with very low incomes.},

abstract = {Among other factors, gender wage differences are explained by occupational segregation and and gender-specific endowments of human capital. In this article, we use linked employer-employee data of the Institute of Labor Market Research (LIAB-dataset) and ask whether the gender wage gap evolves with the distribution of female and male workers into different economic sectors, occupations, and firms. Research findings from the U.S. and Scandinavia show that only a minimal wage difference remains within jobs. Our results for a representative sample of firms from West Germany, however, indicate a remarkable within-jot) wage gap. Between 1993 and 2001, the relative wages of women increased from about 83 to 85 percent of male wages. Looking at workers with the same education and experience, the relative wages of female workers lie at 88 percent. In addition, we analyze the wage gap for hierarchical occupational groups (ISCO). The within-job wage gap is relatively low for management positions and for professionals. Problems of measurement and characteristics of the data used cause a part of the difference, but allocative and evaluative discrimination may exist as well.},

abstract = {Using a representative establishment dataset, this paper is the first to
analyze the incidence of wage bargaining and wage posting in the
matching process from the employers' side. We show that both modes of
wage determination coexist in the German labor market, with more than
one-third of hirings being characterized by individual wage
negotiations. Wage bargaining is more likely for more-educated
applicants, for jobs with special requirements, and in tight regional
labor markets. Wage posting (in the sense of a fixed offer) dominates in
the public sector, in larger firms, in firms covered by collective
bargaining agreements, and in jobs involving part-time and fixed-term
contracts. Job seekers who are unemployed, out of the labor force or
have just finished an apprenticeship are also less likely to have a
chance to negotiat},
