The Income Losses of Displaced Workers
利用英国工人-企业匹配数据，研究企业倒闭和大规模裁员后工人的收入损失，发现五年内损失达18-35%和14-25%，主要源于非就业期。
We use a new, matched worker-firm dataset for the United Kingdom to estimate the income loss resulting from firm closure and mass layoffs. We track workers for up to nine years after the displacement event, and the availability of predisplacement characteristics allows us to implement difference-in-differences estimators using propensity score matching methods. Income losses during the first five years after the displacement event are in the range 18-35 percent per year for workers whose firm closes down, and 14-25 percent for workers who exit a firm which suffers a mass layoff. These losses are largely due to periods of nonemployment, which is consistent with previous work from Europe, but contrasts with that from the United States.
