On Worker and Firm Heterogeneity in Wages and Employment Mobility: Evidence from Danish Register Data
écrit avec Co-authors: Rasmus Lentz and Suphanit Piyapromdee
In this paper, we develop a model of wage dynamics and employment mobility with unrestricted interactions between worker and firm unobserved characteristics in both wages and employment mobility. We adopt the finite mixture approach of Bonhomme et al. (2017). The model is estimated on Danish matched employer-employee data for the period 1985-2013. The estimation includes gender, education, age, tenure and time controls. We find significant sorting on wages and it is stable over the period. Sorting is established early in careers, increasing during the first decade after which it declines steadily. Job-to-job mobility displays a “mean-reverting” pattern that maintains correlations between worker and firm types to a stationary level. Counterfactuals demonstrate that sorting is primarily driven by two channels: First, a “preference” channel whereby higher wage workers are more likely to accept jobs in higher wage firms. Second, a job finding channel where the job destination distribution out of non-employment is stochastically increasing in the wage type of the worker.

Representations of the self-concept and identity-based choice
écrit avec Oleg Urminsky
The identities (social categories) a person holds are important determinants of choice. However, questions remain about why people who have the same identity often behave differently, and how multiple identities interact with other aspects of the self-concept. To understand these questions, I first examine how people mentally represent or organize information about the self-concept. More specifically, I propose a novel theoretical approach to the self-concept that suggests that aspects of the self-concept are seen as defining of an individual to the extent that they are perceived as causally central, having an influence on many other aspects of the self-concept. I then examine the implications of this account of the self-concept for identity-consistent behaviors—do differences in subjective beliefs about how an identity is causally connected to other aspects of the self-concept predict differences in identity-consistent behaviors? I provide evidence that people who perceive an identity (e.g., identity as a Democrat or Republican) as more causally central are more likely to act in identity-consistent ways (e.g., vote for their party’s candidate) than people who possess the same identity but perceive it as more causally peripheral (i.e., connected to fewer other aspects of the self-concept).
