  • Social security tax reform and unEmployment : a general equilibrium analysis for France
    Social Science Research Network, 1997
    Co-Authors: Caroline Van Rijckeghem, Peter Wickham
    Abstract:

    This paper develops and calibrates a simple general equilibrium model with two types of labor and capital for the French economy. The simulation results indicate that targeted reductions in employer social security taxes have six times as large an Effect on Employment as untargeted reductions for equal initial budgetary cost, while employee social security tax reductions have a negative Effect on Employment. They also point to the presence of "self-financing," whereby reductions in various tax rates lead to lower budget deficits in the long run, as a result of an expanding tax base and lower unEmployment insurance outlays.1

  • minimum wage shocks Employment flows and labor market frictions
    Journal of Labor Economics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Arindrajit Dube, William T Lester, Michael R Reich
    Abstract:

    We provide the first estimates of the Effects of minimum wages on Employment flows in the US labor market, identifying the impact by using policy discontinuities at state borders. We find that minimum wages have a sizable negative Effect on Employment flows but not on stocks. Separations and accessions fall among affected workers, especially those with low tenure. We do not find changes in the duration of nonEmployment for separations or hires. This evidence is consistent with search models with endogenous separations.

  • minimum wage shocks Employment flows and labor market frictions escholarship
    2012
    Co-Authors: Arindrajit Dube, William T Lester, Michael R Reich
    Abstract:

    We provide the first estimates of the Effects of minimum wages on Employment flows in the U.S. labor market, identifying the impact using policy discontinuities at state borders. We find that minimum wages have a sizable negative Effect on Employment flows but not stocks: separations and accessions fall among affected workers. We interpret our findings using a job-ladder model, in which minimum wage increases can reduce job-to-job transitions. We find that a standard calibration of the model generates predicted relative magnitudes of the Employment stock and flow elasticities that are very close to our reduced-form estimates.
