Les étudiants anticipent-ils correctement la valeur de leur diplôme sur le marché du travail ?

2013

Documents de travail de l'IREDU, n°2013-1; Ce travail analyse la manière dont les étudiants de première année d'université anticipent leurs salaires futurs, puis compare ces salaires à ceux qu'ils peuvent réellement observer sur le marché du travail. Nos résultats montrent globalement une surestimation des salaires anticipés d'environ 9 pour cent en début de carrière, ce qui est cohérent avec des travaux réalisés dans d'autres pays. En revanche, les salaires anticipés après dix ans de carrières sont supérieurs de 28 pour cent aux salaires observés des diplômés à ancienneté comparable. Les résultats soulignent également l'importance de l'environnement familial lors du choix des études supéri…

Real wages-employment relationship in Finnish manufacturing: a VAR approach

1991

Granger's concept of causality and the vector autoregressive(VAR) technique is used to investigate the real wages-employment relationship in Finnish manufacturing. The stationarity of the time series is examined and a number of co-integration tests for the adequacy of a pure VAR specification performed. The results using a bivariate VAR model based on a lag structure determined by Akaike's information criterion suggests that real wages Granger-cause employment. The slight non-constancy of the model suggests, however, that the conclusion concerning the nature of the real wages-emploment relationship should be treated with causion.

Dynamiczna analiza shift share - ocena zmian struktury produkcji zwierzęcej w Polsce

2017

Dynamiczna metoda przesunięć udziałów uwzględnia zmienność wag w kolejnych okresach. Metoda ta została zaproponowana w 1988 przez Barffa i Knighta. Ideą metody jest przeprowadzenie w sposób rekurencyjny obliczeń dla każdych dwóch kolejnych okresów, aby ostatecznie dokonać agregacji wyników cząstkowych. Dodatkowo metoda ta pozwala na określenie tendencji w zakresie przemian gospodarki regionalnej. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie analizy składników zmiany i możliwości jej wykorzystania do diagnostyki potencjału produkcyjnego rolnictwa regionu, a w szczególności wskazanie obiektów wyspecjalizowanych oraz charakteru zmian strukturalnych w zakresie badanego zjawiska.

Population Growth and Manufacturing Real Wages in 18th Century England: A Spatial Perspective

2004

We develop a two-region population growth model of economic geography and show that a process of urbanization has a substantial impact on the evolution of manufacturing real wages. Whereas real wages decline as the population increases when the spatial structure of the economy is fixed, they actually rise in the long-run when factors are mobile. Agglomeration may hence be seen as a rational response to declining real wages and provides a new explanation of why manufacturing real wages did not decline prior to the Industrial Revolution in England, despite a historically unprecedented population growth.

Agricultural transformations and econòmic backwardness. Andalusia, 1850-1935

2002

La via seguida pel món agrari valencià ha conjuminat, com hem tractat de posar en relleu, aspectes de signe, en principi, contradictori si es valoren a partir de models centrats en una única dimensió dels agents socials. Aquesta polivalència es pot resseguir en la inultiplicitat de funcions econòmiques d'alguns d'aquests agents, com s'esdevé amb els rendistes. Pero també cal tenir molt en compte les formes de legitimació de la propietat agrària rendista, que fomentaven un seguit d'aspiracions peculiars entre els llauradors arrendataris. En aquest sentit, la capacitat per absorbir o incloure un conjunt reiterat de tensions sota la hegemonia d'una propietat no discutida representa un dels pro…

THE IMPACT OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS ON THE ROMANIAN LABOR MARKET - A REGIONAL ANALYSIS

2012

The global financial recession reconfigured the economical structures of many countries and in this context the labor markets all around the world faced major salary cuts and job losses. The Romanian economy wasn`t an exception, and for a better understanding of its labor structures we have analyzed the interactions between some of the most representative and measurable indicators using a regional econometric model. The results show that the dynamics of the labor market changed once the economic crisis was installed and are still continuing to modify since the magnitude of this global phenomena was very powerful.

Gender differences in French undergraduates' academic plans and wage expectations

2016

International audience; Gender differences in wage expectations may affect investment in human capital and increase inequalities in the labour market. Our research based on a survey of first-year students at a French university aims to focus on expectations at the beginning of the career. Our results show that anticipated earnings differ significantly between men and women. One year after graduation, we find a gender gap in pay of 16 percent. A wage decomposition method indicates that most of this effect is due to anticipation of discrimination. Ten years after graduation, anticipated discrimination is still almost as dominant in explaining the gender gap in pay. Finally, using a survey of …

Profit Sharing the Firm-Size Wage Premium

2017

This study analyzes the relationships among wages, firm size, and profit sharing schemes. We develop a simple theoretical model and explore the relationship empirically using high-quality panel data. The theoretical model shows that the firm-size wage premium decreases in the presence of profit sharing. The empirical results based on rich matched employee-employer data for private sector wage earners in Finland show that the firm-size wage premium is modest, and it becomes negligible when we account for profit sharing and covariates describing assortative matching and monopsony behavior. The analysis suggests that profit sharing schemes embody effects of firm-specific unobservables that rai…

Wages and prices in early Catalan industrialisation

2014

Catalonia was the only Mediterranean region among the early followers of the British Industrial Revolution in the second third of the nineteenth century. The roots of this industrialisation process can be traced back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the Catalan economy became successfully integrated in international trade and the region enjoyed an intensification of its agrarian and proto-industrial activities. These capitalist developments were subsequently reinforced by a successful printed calico manufacturing business concentrated in the city of Barcelona. Although the factory system was largely adopted by the cotton industry in the 1840s, the diffusion of the spinning j…
