(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2003-10)This paper studies the strategic behavior of multinationals towards weak labor standards in developing countries (South). Without a marginal cost pricing policy, abundant labor in the South gives firms the power to set ...
-
(Cornell University, School of Industrial & Labor Relations, 2001-07)Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the author examines the cyclicality of wages within employer-employee matches for the years 1970-91. Recent research on wage cyclicality has suggested that wages are very ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1989-04)In this paper a sector-specific disturbance generates unemployment that co-exists with relatively high wages in the adversely-affected industry. Previous analyses have interpreted this unemployment as "classical" in nature, ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1995-02)Wage stickiness is frequently cited as a justification (temporary) protection when a sector is hit by an adverse shock. The present paper, rather than assuming arbitrary wage stickiness, instead models it as an outcome of ...

Do employers provide insurance against low frequency shocks? Industry employment and industry wages (University of Chicago Press, 2005)I use panel data to examine whether long-term changes in industry wages are positively related to long-term changes in industry employment. Previous research using repeated cross-sectional data found no systematic relationship ...
-
(University College Dublin; Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2004)This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of handedness on hourly earnings. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with an indicator of left handedness shows there is a well determined positive effect on ...

(University of Wisconsin Press, 2007)This paper estimates the effects of handedness on earnings. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with an indicator of left-handedness shows there is a positive effect on male earnings with manual workers enjoying a ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2004-07)This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of handedness on hourly earnings using data on a sample of 33 year olds in the United Kingdom. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with indicators of left ...
-
(Emerald Insight, 2000)Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find that true wage changes have many fewer nominal cuts and more nominal freezes than reported nominal wage changes. The data overwhelmingly rejects a model of flexible wage ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1998-01)This paper argues that trade unions have a number of distinct and possibly conflicting effects on wages. This contrasts with the vast bulk of the literature which focuses on estimating a simgl measure of the union differential ...
-
(Institute for the Study of Labor, 2005-07)Using the British New Earnings Survey Panel Data (NESPD) for the period 1975 to 2001 we estimate the wage cyclicality of job stayers (those remaining within single jobs in a given company), within company job movers, and ...
-
(Cornell University, School of Industrial and Labor Relations, 2006-10)Using the British New Earnings Survey Panel Data for 1975-2001, the authors estimate the wage cyclicality (the degree to which wage levels rise and fall with economic upturns and downturns) of three groups: job stayers, ...
-
(Blackwell Publishing on behalf of Institute for Fiscal Studies, 1991-05)The impact of internal and external variables on firm-level wages is examined using data for 436 UK firms over the period 1976-1986. The evidence indicates that both matter, as firm-level profit per employee and industrial ...

(University College Dublin. School of EconomicsUniversity College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2003-04)The reservation wage is an integral part of most theories of involuntary unemployment. We use panel data to examine the empirical determinants of the reservation wage - in particular the influence of previous wages - and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2004)We use panel data to examine the empirical determinants of the reservation wage– in particular the influence of previous wages– and consider what this implies for the evolution of the natural rate of unemployment. We ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1988)This paper examines the two-sector general equilibrium model under a variety of labor-market distortions, including minimum wages and factor price differentials (both absolute and proportional). We introduce a new concept ...
-
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2007)While foreign-owned firms have consistently been found to pay higher wages than domestic firms to what appear to be equally productive workers, the causes of this remain unresolved. In a two-period bargaining framework we ...
