This paper proposes a new approach to estimate task prices per efficiency unit of skill in the Roy model. I show how sorting workers into tasks and their associated wage growth can be used identify changes under relatively weak assumptions. The estimation exploits fact that returns observable talents will change differentially over time depending on those they predict sort into. In generalized model, also average non‐pecuniary amenities each are identified. apply this literature...
We study the relationship among occupational employment, wages, and wage inequality. In all occupations, entrants leavers earn less than stayers, suggesting negative selection effects for growing occupations positive shrinking ones. estimate a model of prices skills that includes specific skill accumulation endogenous switching. Contrary to uncorrected employment growth are positively related. Forty percent is due age, as have had time accumulate skills. The remainder Roy-type selection....
Financial sector wages increased extraordinarily over the last decades. An explanation for this trend is that skill demand rose more in finance than other sectors. We use Swedish administrative data, which include cognitive and non-cognitive ability, as well U.S. to examine talent allocation relative financial sector. find no evidence improved, neither on average nor at top. A changing composition or return cannot account surging wage premium. Our findings alleviate concerns about a brain...
Ecological approaches to farming are gaining increasing interest in the EU's Rural Development (RD) policy. From a societal perspective, these expected deliver public goods terms of environmental and social benefits for both consumers rural actors. This study aims investigate policy discourses that being used Programmes (RDPs) Sweden, France, Bavaria, Hungary, Poland Romania depict justify support ecological across three programming periods Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). For this purpose,...
Abstract Financial sector wages have increased extraordinarily over the last decades. We address two potential explanations for this increase: (1) rising demand talent and (2) firms sharing rents with their employees. Matching administrative data of Swedish workers, which include unique measures individual talent, financial information on employers, we find no evidence that in finance improved, neither average nor at top. The increase relative is present across education levels, together can...
This paper studies the relationship between changes in occupational employment, wages, and rising overall wage inequality. Using long-running administrative panel data with detailed occupation codes, we first document that all occupations, entrants leavers earn lower wages than stayers. empirical fact suggests substantial skill selection effects are negative for growing occupations positive shrinking ones. We develop estimate a model prices paid per unit of which incorporates...
The debate about the impact of routine-biased technical change on wages revolves around question whether occupational or overall wage distributions polarized. This paper instead argues that routine task prices should decline compared to abstract and manual prices. I propose a new method, which exploits sorting workers into tasks their associated growth in Roy model, estimate changes under relatively weak assumptions. Empirical results for male two U.S. datasets indicate polarized during...
Abstract This article addresses the issue of profitability Food Quality Scheme (FQS) products as compared to reference products, which are defined analogous without quality label. We approach this question by taking into account level value chain (upstream, processing, and downstream), sector (vegetal, animal, seafood) type FQS (PGI, PDO, Organic). collected original data for several produced in selected European countries, well Thailand Vietnam. Comparisons depending on level, possible...
This paper explores the consequences of under-representation women in top jobs for overall gender pay gap. Using administrative annual earnings data from Canada, Sweden, and United Kingdom, it applies approach used analysis inequality incomes, as well reweighting techniques, to The is supplemented by classic O-B decompositions hourly wages using Canadian U.K. Labour Force Surveys. finds that recent increases led substantial "swimming upstream" effects, therefore accounting differential...
It is well documented that graduates enter different occupations in recessions than booms. In our paper, we examine the impact of resulting change allocation talent for long‐term productivity and output a sector. setting where can be quantitatively qualitatively measured, find evidence flows to stable sectors cyclical booms: economists starting or graduating from their PhD recession are significantly more productive academia over long term boom.
Abstract Food quality schemes (FQS: organic and geographical indication products) are often supposed to be more sustainable by their political advocates. We explore the social sustainability advantage of FQS through lens supply chains’ bargaining power (BP) distribution. propose an indicator synthesizing different sources underlying BP (competition-based, transactional, institutional) counting two dimensions (fair distribution adaptation capacity), that we apply 18 chains corresponding...
Background: Higher resting heart rate (RHR), even within the normal range, has been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Recently, RHR was shown predictive of cognitive decline among patients ischaemic stroke. It is not known whether linked in a broader population. Purpose: We hypothesised that independently function elevated risk. Methods: conducted post hoc analysis enrolled parallel multicentre trials randomised participants vascular disease or diabetes mellitus to...

Abstract This article studies the impact of demographic change on experienced workers' relative wages and employment rates. We investigate empirical predictions from a framework supply demand for experience skill, using variation across U.S. local labor markets (LLMs) over last decades instrumenting skill by LLMs' age structures decade earlier. find that aging substantially reduces full‐time rates, also their market participation Our results imply effect might be more severe than previously...
Abstract Like many other countries, Germany has experienced rapid population and workforce ageing, yet with substantial variation across regions. In this paper we first use spatial between 1975 2014 to estimate quasi-causal supply effects of ageing on regional labour market outcomes, drawing the identification strategy Böhm Siegel (2020). We find in our panel German regions that mean age considerable negative wage returns age. also obtain suggestive evidence relative employment rates older...
Summary The concept of a ‘just transition’ is gaining traction in international policy discourses. It has particular significance relation to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions and the need for ensuring rights responsibilities all actors transitions agroecological farming systems. Research plays an important role accompanying this transformation. explores pathways more sustainable fair food systems, barriers them being achieved, where what risks arise communities interest place....
