    <description>Title: Lingering illness or sudden death? Pre-exit employment developments in German establishments

&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Fackler, Daniel; Schnabel, Claus; Wagner, Joachim
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Using a large administrative dataset for Germany, this paper compares employment developments in exiting and surviving establishments. For both West and East Germany we find a clear 'shadow of death' effect reflecting lingering illness: establishments shrink dramatically already several years before closure, employment growth rates differ strongly between exiting and surviving establishments, and this difference becomes stronger as exit approaches. We further show that prior to exit the workforce becomes on average more skilled, more female and older in exiting compared to surviving establishments. These effects are more clearly visible in West than in East Germany. Our results also hold when applying a matching approach.</description>

    <description>Title: Employment adjustment in German firms
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Jung, Sven
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Using a representative establishment data set for Germany, we show that, in line with the existing literature for several countries, firms' adjustment costs for employment are characterized by a fixed and convex functional form. Furthermore, they are asymmetric with dismissal costs exceeding hiring costs. An analysis of firms' adjustment in the period 1996-2010 also indicates that adjustment behavior has changed over time. Comparing the employment adjustment in the two observed business cycles comprising the years 1996-2003 and 2004-2010, we find that the adjustment speed was higher in the second business cycle indicating that adjustment costs have fallen in recent years.</description>

    <description>Title: Is there monopsonistic discrimination against immigrants? First evidence from linked employer-employee data
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Hirsch, Boris; Jahn, Elke J.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: This paper investigates immigrants' and natives' labour supply to the firm within a semi-structural approach based on a dynamic monopsony framework. Applying duration models to a large administrative employer-employee data set for Germany, we find that once accounting for unobserved worker heterogeneity immi-grants supply labour less elastically to firms than natives. Under monopsonistic wage setting the estimated elasticity differential predicts a 4.7 log points wage penalty for immigrants thereby accounting for almost the entire unexplained native-immigrant wage differential of 2.9-5.9 log points. Our results imply that employers profit from discriminating against immigrants.</description>
