Labor Market Concentration, Wages and Job Security in Europe
利用六个欧洲国家的雇主-雇员关联数据，首次跨国比较劳动力市场集中度对工资和工作保障的影响，发现工资弹性相似且较低，而工作保障弹性更大。
We leverage administrative linked employer-employee data from six European countries to provide the first comparable cross-country evidence on the impact of labor market concentration on wages and job security. We find strikingly similar and relatively low wage elasticities across countries, but greater elasticities for job security, as measured by contract type. We provide suggestive evidence that the similarity of our wage elasticities and the greater sensitivity of job security to labor market concentration may be explained by the fact that sector-level collective bargaining is dominant in the countries we study and that it sets wages but usually not contract type
