Changing returns to education across cohorts : selection, school system or skills obsolescence?
(Discussion Papers;No. 302, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: This paper investigates whether economic returns to education in Norway differ across cohorts. Differences in returns to education may arise from selection effects - the large increase in educational attainment ... -
Differences in Learning and Inequality
(Discussion Papers;No. 457, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Rapid growth in productivity combined with increasing wage dispersion in some countries, notably Anglo-Saxon, has been the subject of numerous studies. The main hypothesis in the literature is that an increased ... -
Do higher wages reflect higher productivity? : education, gender and experience premiums in a matched plant-worker data set
(Discussion Papers;No. 208, Working paper, 1997)Do wage differences between workers with high and low levels of education, between males and females and between workers with different levels of experience reflect differences in productivity? We address this set of ... -
Experience and schooling : substitutes or complements?
(Discussion Papers;No. 301, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: This paper investigates whether returns to experience and seniority vary between workers with different levels of education and between different types of firms. Using a large administrative dataset for Norwegian ... -
Field of study, earnings and selfselection
(Discussion papers;794, Working paper, 2015-01)Why do individuals choose different types of post-secondary education, and what are the labor market consequences of those choices? We show that answering these questions is difficult because individuals choose between ... -
Has growth in supply of educated persons been important for the composition of employment?
(Discussion Papers;No. 187, Working paper, 1997)In the Norwegian fabricated metal industry there has been a shift in demand from unskilled to skilled workers during the period 1972 to 1990, and relative demand for white collar employees has also increased. The paper ... -
Job durations and the job search model : a two-country, multi-sample analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 553, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper assesses whether a parsimonious partial equilibrium job search model with on-the-job search can reproduce observed job durations and transitions to other jobs and to nonemployment. We allow for ... -
Labor market modeling recognizing latent job attributes and opportunity constraints : an empirical analysis of labor market behavior of Eritrean women
(Discussion Papers;No. 331, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This paper analyzes labor market behavior of urban Eritrean women with particular reference to the impact of education, earnings and labor market opportunities. Unlike traditional models of labor supply, which ... -
Life-cycle bias and the returns to schooling in current and lifetime earnings
(Discussion Papers;no. 666, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: This paper uses a unique data set with nearly career-long earnings histories to provide evidence on the returns to schooling in current and lifetime earnings. We use these results to assess the importance of ... -
Performance pay and within-firm wage inequality
(Discussion Papers;No. 535, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper examines the impact of performance-related pay on wage differentials within firms. Our theoretical framework predicts that, compared to a fixed pay system, pay schemes based on individual effort ... -
Preferences for lifetime earnings, earnings risk and nonpecuniary attributes in choice of higher education
(Discussion papers;725, Working paper, 2012-12)Expected earnings are considered to influence individuals' choice of education. However, the presence of nonpecuniary attributes and the different choice set available to prospective students make identification of this ... -
Skill composition: exploring a wage-based skill measure
(Discussion Papers;No. 531, Working paper, 2008)Most studies of heterogeneous labor inputs use classifications of high skilled and low skilled based on workers' educational attainment. In this study we explore a wage-based skill measure using information from a wage ... -
The Effect of skill mismatch on wages in a small open economy with centralized wage setting: The Norwegian case
(Discussion Papers;No. 270, Working paper, 2000)Pervasive skill-biased technological changes, probably from trade in computer technology, have visualized the pros and cons of wage setting centralization in small open economies. Skill mismatch has increased in countries ... -
The entrepreneurial earnings puzzle. Evidence from matched person-firm data
(Discussion papers;789, Working paper, 2014-11)Empirical studies show that the pecuniary returns to an individual's decision to switch from wage employment to entrepreneurship are low. We reconsider the pecuniary gains from this transition using a unified and flexible ... -
The ins and outs of top income mobility
(Discussion papers;762, Working paper, 2013-10)This paper is concerned with the question of whether top income earners are permanently there or only temporarily receive the highest incomes. How much mobility is there at the top of the income distribution, and how has ... -
Using the Helmert-transformation to reduce dimensionality in a mixed model: An application to a wage equation with worker and firm heterogeneity
(Discussion Papers;No. 667, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: A model for matched data with two types of unobserved heterogeneity is considered – one related to the observation unit, the other to units to which the observation units are matched. One or both of the unobserved ... -
Wage and profitability: Norwegian manufacturing 1967-1998
(Discussion Papers;No. 259, Working paper, 1999)Economic theories of imperfectly competitive labour markets predict that wages are linked to profits. In spite of this, profit variables are not explicitly specified in empirical models of wage formation that otherwise are ... -
