  • THE Employment Effect OF DEREGULATING SHOPPING HOURS: EVIDENCE FROM GERMAN FOOD RETAILING
    Economic Inquiry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Mario Bossler, Michael Oberfichtner
    Abstract:

    We provide difference-in-differences evidence from Germany on the Effect of deregulating weekday shop opening hours on Employment in food retailing. Using data on the universe of German shops, we find that relaxing restrictions on business hours increased Employment by 0.4 workers per shop corresponding to an aggregate Employment Effect of 3 to 4 per cent. The Effect was driven by an increase in parttime Employment while full-time Employment was not affected. The statistical significance of these results hinges on assumptions on error correlation, and we hence report inference robust to clustering at different levels. A back-of-the-envelope calculation gives an Employment increase by 0.1 workers per additional actual weekly opening hour.

  • Monopsonistic wage discrimination and Employment Effect under conditions of constant labor supply elasticity
    Economics Bulletin, 2006
    Co-Authors: Yeung-nan Shieh
    Abstract:

    This note exploits an alternative but simple way to examine the Employment Effect of wage discrimination when the constant elasticity labor supply curves are strictly concave. The Bernoulli inequality applied in this paper allows us to show that wage discrimination increases total Employment in a relative simple way, without resorting to complicated manipulations as were used by Formby, Layson and Smith (1983) and Shieh (2001).

  • Employment Effect of Wage Discrimination in the Weber-Moses
    1999
    Co-Authors: Yeung-nan Shieh
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the Employment Effect of wage discrimination in the well-known Weber-Moses triangular model. Assume that the plant location is a choice variable. It shows that the wage discrimination will change total Employment of a monopsony if the supply labor curves in two separate markets are linear. It also shows that the wage discrimination may decrease total Employment if the more elastic labor supply curve is convex and the less elastic labor supply curve is concave. These results are significantly different from the traditional results in the non-spatial economy. It indicates that the location decision of a firm has an important impact on the Employment Effect of wage discrimination.

  • The Employment Effect of stricter rules for eligibility for DI: Evidence from a natural experiment in Sweden
    Journal of Public Economics, 2008
    Co-Authors: Anders Karlström, Mårten Palme, Ingemar Svensson
    Abstract:

    We study the Effect of a reform of the Swedish disability insurance (DI) program whereby the special eligibility rules for workers in the age group 60 to 64 were abolished. First, we use a differences-in-differences approach to study changes in the disability take-up as compared to the age group 55 to 59. Then, we use a similar approach to study to what extent the Employment Effect of the reform is "crowded out" by an increase in the utilization of the sickpay insurance (SI) and/or the unEmployment insurance (UI). In an extended analysis, we study the Effect of firm closure on Employment and the utilization of different labor market insurance programs in different age groups before and after the reform.
