Worker mobility, displacement, redeployment and wage dynamics in Italy

About this book

"We investigate various stylized facts on wage growth, labor mobility and firm size, to date unexplored in Italy. Using a wage decomposition that allows to separate "individual premiums" from firm-effects, we ascertain: (1) whether movers are better off than stayers; (2) whether firm size affects the outcome of workers' mobility across; and (3) the extent to which did job displacement and redeployment inflict wage losses to downsized workers. The sample -- a closed panel of full-time male employees, aged 20-50, at work from 1986 to 1991 -- is drawn from the employer-employee linked database WHIP (Work Histories Italian Panel)"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site.
