  • immigrants responsiveness to labor market conditions and it s implications on regional disparities evidence from spain
    Social Science Research Network, 2005
    Co-Authors: Catalina Amuedodorantes, Sara De La Rica
    Abstract:

    Using data from the Spanish Labor Force Survey (Encuesta de Poblacion Activa) from 1999 through 2004, we explore the role of regional Employment Opportunities in explaining the increasing immigrant flows of recent years despite the limited internal mobility on the part of natives. Subsequently, we investigate the policy question of whether immigration has helped reduced unEmployment rate disparities across Spanish regions by attracting immigrant flows to regions offering better Employment Opportunities. Our results indicate that immigrants choose to reside in regions with larger Employment rates and where their probability of finding a job is higher. In particular, and despite some differences depending on their origin, immigrants appear generally more responsive than their native counterparts to a higher likelihood of informal, self, or indefinite Employment. More importantly, insofar as the vast majority of immigrants locate in regions characterized by higher Employment rates, immigration contributes to greasing the wheels of the Spanish labor market by narrowing regional unEmployment rate disparities.

  • restrictions on managers outside Employment Opportunities and asymmetric disclosure of bad versus good news
    Social Science Research Network, 2015
    Co-Authors: Ashiq Ali, Weining Zhang
    Abstract:

    This study examines the effect of restrictions on managers’ outside Employment Opportunities on voluntary corporate disclosure. The recognition of the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (IDD) by courts in the U.S. states in which the firms are headquartered place greater restrictions on the managers from joining or forming a rival company upon their dismissal. We show that asymmetric withholding of bad news relative to good news is greater in states that recognize the IDD than in other states, and that this effect is weaker in firms with greater institutional ownership, analyst following, and board independence. These results suggest that restrictions on managers’ outside Employment Opportunities have a significant unintended effect on corporate disclosure behavior. We further validate this conclusion by showing that the asymmetric withholding of bad news relative to good news is greater in states with stricter enforcement of noncompetition agreements, Employment contracts that prohibit employees from joining or forming a competing firm. We also document that the effects of the IDD and non-competition agreements on disclosure are incremental to each other.

  • why is fertility on the rise in egypt the role of women s Employment Opportunities
    Journal of Population Economics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Caroline Krafft
    Abstract:

    Can declining Employment Opportunities for women reverse the fertility transition? This paper presents evidence that the demographic transition has not just stalled but in fact reversed in Egypt. After falling for decades, fertility rates increased. The paper examines the drivers of rising fertility rates, with a particular focus on the role of declining public sector Employment Opportunities for women. Estimates show the effect of public sector Employment on the spacing and occurrence of births using discrete-time hazard models. The paper then uses the results to simulate total fertility rates. The models address the potential endogeneity of Employment by incorporating woman-specific fixed effects, incorporating local Employment Opportunities rather than women’s own Employment, and using local Employment Opportunities as an instrument. Results indicate that the decrease in public sector Employment, which is particularly appealing to women, may have contributed to the rise in fertility but is unlikely to be its main cause.

  • why is fertility on the rise in egypt the role of women s Employment Opportunities
    Research Papers in Economics, 2016

    Abstract:

    Can declining Employment Opportunities for women reverse the fertility transition? This paper presents new evidence that the demographic transition has not just stalled, but in fact reversed in Egypt. After falling for decades, fertility rates are increasing. The drivers of rising fertility rates are examined, with a particular focus on the role of declining public sector Employment Opportunities for women. By using unique data with detailed fertility and Employment histories, the effects of public sector Employment Opportunities on women’s fertility are estimated. Estimates are calculated by examining the effect of public sector Employment on the spacing and occurrence of births using discrete-time hazard models, the results of which are then used to simulate total fertility rates. The potential endogeneity of Employment is addressed by incorporating woman-specific fixed effects, incorporating local Employment Opportunities rather than women’s own Employment, and using local Employment Opportunities as an instrument. Results indicate that the decrease in public sector Employment, which is particularly appealing to women, has contributed to the rise in fertility.
