Topic: Sorting when firms have size

Speaker: Maxim Goryunov (European University Institute, Florence)


Abstract:
I study the sorting of workers to firms, when firm size is explicitly taken into account. I develop a method to identify non-parametrically match production function from data on workers’ wages and firms’ revenues and vacancies. The property of the proposed identification procedure lies in the fact that ordering of workers and firms is identified independently, and therefore can be achieved using potentially different data sets. The model sheds light on the question of exporter wage premium: exporters pay higher wages because they are larger, and higher wages are required to support a larger firm size.

The aim of the seminar is to discuss the work in progress,
yours and others ideas, which can be interesting.
