However, there exists a broad literature based on matched employer-employee datasets that documents the importance of labor quality as a driver of productivity.
The data is a matched employer-employee dataset of US firms and workers.
The LEHD is a longitudinally linked employer-employee dataset created by the U.S. Census Bureau as part of the Local Employment Dynamics federal-state partnership; see Abowd et al. (2009).
The 2010 Syria employer-employee dataset contains information on 961 private sector workers employed in 116 firms in the manufacturing and services sectors.
Understanding the labor market interaction of firms and workers requires access to firm-worker matched datasets.1 Our study utilizes one such Canadian administrative employer-employee dataset called the Longitudinal Worker File (LWF .2.
To measure wage elasticity, I estimate a hazard model on voluntary job separations using the RAIS, a linked employer-employee dataset that captures formal-sector workers' job durations over time.
In addition, Villemez and Bridges (1988) employed a matched employer-employee dataset to investigate the linkage between organizational size and individual earnings and found the situation to be quite complicated, rather than straightforward.
Battisti (2013) uses the INPS Veneto Worker History dataset, an administrative longitudinal linked employer-employee dataset that covers the population of private-sector workers of the Italian administrative region of Veneto for the years 1982 2001, and documents a large and growing wage gap between foreign-born and native-born workers.
First, we apply a very recent approach to estimating firm-level wage discrimination against immigrants developed by Bartolucci (2014); we are the first to estimate these effects with a large matched employer-employee dataset covering the Belgian labor market, a country that is generally considered as having comparatively strong anti-discrimination legislation.
For this paper, I use an employer-employee-linked dataset for Brazil to estimate the dynamic monopsony model.
Using qualitative data and existing literature, we constructed a theoretical framework and tested its empirical validity using a novel employer-employee nested dataset.
