Equilibrium Wage and Dismissal Processes Journal of Business and Economic Statistics 15,2 (April 1997): 221-236. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1392307 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Wage Dynamics; Wage Equations; Wage Theory; Wages An equilibrium model is developed and estimated of the labor market in which inefficient employees are systematically eliminated from the sector of the market characterized by asymmetric information and moral hazard. Systematic selection on the distribution of productivity characteristics produces wage sequences that are increasing in tenure for employees never previously terminated even in the absence of long-term contracting between employees and individual firms. Sufficient conditions are provided for there to exist a unique termination-contract type of equilibrium. The equilibrium model is estimated using microlevel data from the national Longitudinal Survey of Youth panel. Photocopy available from ABI/INFORM |
