Identifying adjustment costs of net and gross employment changes
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2008-09)A relatively unexplored question in dynamic labour demand regards the source of adjustment costs, whether they depend on net or gross changes in employment. We estimate a structural model of dynamic labour demand where ... -
If You Could Read My Mind—An Experimental Beauty-Contest Game with Children
(DP SAM;23/2019, Working paper, 2021-03)We develop a new design for the experimental beauty-contest game (BCG) that is suitable for children in school age and test it with 114 schoolchildren aged 9–11 years. In addition, we collect measures on cognitive skills ... -
