Slip Sliding Away: Further Union Decline in Germany and Britain
Addison, John T.; Bryson, Alex; Teixeira, Paulino; Pahnke, AndréThis paper presents the first comparative analysis of the decline in collective bargaining in two European countries where that decline has been most pronounced. Using workplace-level data and a common model, we present decompositions of changes in collective bargaining and worker representation in the private sector in Germany and Britain over the period 1998-2004. In both countries within-effects dominate com...
Productivity, wages, and the returns to firm-provided training: who is grabbing...
Lopes, Ana Sofia; Teixeira, PaulinoIn spite of the importance of workplace training in human capital accumulation, relatively little is known on its returns for workers and firms. Our investigation tries to fill this gap by developing an alternative modelling that examines the determinants of firm productivity and wages, on the one hand, and the internal rate of return to firm training investments, on the other. Our estimates, obtained using a f...
The Extent of Collective Bargaining and Workplace Representation: Transitions b...
Addison, John T.; Bryson, Alex; Teixeira, Paulino; Pahnke, André; Bellmanns, LutzIndustrial relations are in flux in many nations, perhaps most notably in Germany and Britain. That said, comparatively little is known in any detail of the changing pattern of the institutions of collective bargaining and worker representation in Germany and still less in both countries about firm transitions between these institutions over time. The present paper maps changes in the importance of the key inst...
Rent Seeking at Plant Level: An Application of the Card-de la Rica Tenure Model...
Addison, John T.; Teixeira, Paulino; Zwick, ThomasLow-skilled workers enjoy a large wage advantage in German works council establishments. Since job tenure is also longer for these workers, one explanation might be rent-seeking. If the premium is a compensating wage differential (or a return to unmeasured ability), it should not lead to higher tenure; whereas if it is (partly) rent, lower quits should lead to longer tenure at plants with works councils. Our an...
Unobserved Worker Ability, Firm Heterogeneity, and the Returns to Schooling and...
Lopes, Ana Sofia; Teixeira, PaulinoIt is well known that unobserved heterogeneity across workers and firms seriously impacts the computation of the determinants of individual earnings in standard human capital earnings functions. Following the tradition of AKM (Abowd, Kramarz, and Margolis, 1999), this paper offers an alternative way of controlling unknown worker and firm heterogeneity by taking full advantage of a matched employee-employer data...
The portuguese active labour market policy during the period 1998-2003 - a comp...
Nunes, Alcina; Teixeira, PaulinoIn most studies in the literature only the participation in a single programme versus non-participation is evaluated. This approach, however, does not address the needs of a comprehensive evaluation of an active public intervention in the labour market. Active labour market programmes, like the Portuguese, are not restricted to a particular measure. Rather, in most cases, the public employment service offers a ...
Internal and external restructuring over the cycle: a firm-based analysis of gr...
Carreira, Carlos; Teixeira, PaulinoAbstract This paper discusses the role played by internal restructuring vis-à-vis external restructuring in industry productivity growth, arguing that the contribution of these two components is expected to be sensitive to the economic cycle. The study describes gross flows (job and output) over a period of one decade, and analyses the productivity differential among continuing, entering and exiting firms in t...
The Shadow of Death: Analysing the Pre-Exit Productivity of Portuguese Manufact...
Carreira, Carlos; Teixeira, PaulinoIn this study, we examine the pre-exiting productivity profile of mature firms relatively to survivors. We also evaluate how productivity affects the probability of exit along various dimensions. Our approach is an empirical one, and it is based on an unbalanced panel of Portuguese manufacturing firms covering a period of one decade. Our findings confirm that market selection forces low-productivity firms to ex...
A Note on the Determinants and Consequences of Outsourcing Using German Data
Addison, John T.; Bellmann, Lutz; Pahnke, André; Teixeira, PaulinoUsing German data from the Institute for Employment Research Establishment Panel, this paper constructs two main measures of outsourcing and examines their determinants and consequences for employment. There are some commonalities in the correlates of the two measures of outsourcing, as well as agreement on the absence of adverse employment effects across all industries. For one specification, however, some neg...
Entry and exit as a source of aggregate productivity growth in two alternative ...
Carreira, Carlos; Teixeira, PaulinoThis paper proposes a neo-Schumpeterian model in order to discuss how the mechanisms of entry and exit contribute to industry productivity growth in alternative technological regimes. By assuming a) that firms learn about the technology through a variety of sources, and b) a continuous flow of entry and exit, our numerical simulation exercise does show that exits and contraction take mostly place among less pro...
