  • 2010/27: Understanding the city size wage gap

    Nathaniel Baum-Snow, Ronni Pavan

    In 2000, wages of full time full year workers were more than 30 percent higher in metropolitan areas of over 1.5 million people than rural areas. The monotonic relationship between wages and city size is robust to controls for age, schooling and labor market experience. In this paper, we decompose...

    2010/26: Dialects, cultural identity and economic exchange

    Oliver Falck, Stephan Heblich, Alfred Lameli, Jens Südekum

    It has long been argued that economic phenomena are affected by culture. However, the causal effect of cultural ties on economic exchange is difficult to identify, chiefly because cultural ties are endogenous to the current level of economic exchange, and because it is hard to separate culture from other influences....

    2010/24: Wage inequality in Spain: A regional perspective

    Ismael Ahamdanech Zarco, Carmelo García Pérez, Hipólito Simón

    This study examines wage inequality in the Spanish labour market from a regional perspective, drawing on stochastic dominance techniques. The main findings are, firstly, that wage inequality exhibits a significant regional heterogeneity and, secondly, that the reduction of wage inequality in the Spanish labour market in recent years is a...

    2010/20: International industry migration and firm characteristics: some evidence from the analysis of firm data

    Àngels Pelegrín Solé, Catalina Bolance Losilla

    This article examines firm characteristics associated with the probability of relocating part of the activity in a foreign country. Using manufacturing firms’ micro data for the 1999-2005 period, we find evidence that cost-cutting objectives are the main determinants for offshoring production, that firms with lower profits are more likely to...

    2010/19: Peers, neighborhoods and immigrant student achievement – evidence from a placement policy

    Olof Åslund, Per-Anders Edin, Peter Fredriksson, Hans Grönqvist

    We examine to what extent immigrant school performance is affected by the characteristics of the neighborhoods that they grow up in. We address this issue using a refugee placement policy which provides exogenous variation in the initial place of residence in Sweden. The main result is that school performance is...

    2010/18: The role of entrepreneurship education and regional context in forming entrepreneurial intentions

    Dirk Dohse, Sascha G. Walter

    This study examines how the extent of entrepreneurship education within university departments influences students’ entrepreneurial intentions in three careers: computer science, electrical engineering, and business. Specifically, it proposes that the effect of such education is (1) contingent on its mode (active, e.g. business plan seminars, vs. reflective, e.g. theory lectures),...
