Job search models of the labor market hypothesize a very tight correspondence between the

We investigate the wage, employment, and reallocation effects of the introduction of a
nationwide minimum wage in Germany that affected 15% of all employees. Based on …

differentiated jobs and concentrated labor markets. We estimate key model parameters by …

Standard labor market models assume that workers hold accurate beliefs about the external
wage distribution, and hence their outside options with other employers. We test this …

in West German wage inequality. Models with additive fixed effects for workers and …

This article estimates workers' preferences for firms by studying the structure of employer-to-

While neoclassical theory emphasizes the impact of trade on wage inequality between
occupations and sectors, more recent theories of firm heterogeneity point to the impact of …
