Denna studie undersöker sambandet mellan företags exportintensitet och vilka rekryteringsstrategier som företagen använder sig av. Vi finner att exportintensiva företag i högre utsträckning anställer…

Vi utvecklar en teoretisk modell där företag skiljer sig åt avseende anställdas produktivitet och färdigheter och undersöker hur globalisering påverkar lönefördelningen och karriärvägar för arbetstaga…

Denna studie granskar hur automatisering påverkat vilka yrken som minskat eller ökat i omfattning. Andelen sysselsatta i yrken med hög risk för automatisering har minskat under åren 1996–2013, både to…

Flera forskningsstudier har påvisat minskande entreprenörskap i det amerikanska näringslivet under de senaste decennierna. I denna studie visar vi att entreprenörskapet inte minskat i det svenska näri…

Hur kan ett land komma ur en period av stagnerad produktivitetstillväxt och nå sin tillväxtpotential? Vi finner stöd för att de mikrobaserade strukturreformerna av den svenska ekonomin som genomfördes…

Vi undersöker om effekter av utländska direktinvesteringar till Sverige är kopplade till vilken hemvist det investerande företaget har. Vi finner tydliga produktivitetsskillnader mellan dotterbolag fr…

I denna studie undersöker vi hur globalisering påverkar olika arbetsmarknadsutfall. Vår analys visar att ökad internationalisering påverkar vilka typer av anställda som efterfrågas i olika företag. Vi…

I denna studie påvisar vi med hjälp av en ny dekomponeringsmetod en mycket stark dynamik i det svenska näringslivet efter 1990-talskrisen. De flesta jobben har skapats i unga små företag samtidigt som…

I denna studie undersöks sambandet mellan graden av företags internationalisering och förekomsten av olika yrken. Forskarna finner att internationellt verksamma företag har anställda som i högre grad…

We analyze a reform of notice periods for employer-initiated separations in Sweden, which reduced the notice periods for newly hired older workers substantially but implied minor or no changes in the…

We construct a task-based model of the firm’s choice of occupational inputs to examine how that choice varies with greater global engagement. We assume that more complex tasks are more costly to comple…

Using detailed Swedish matched employer–employee data, I show evidence of within-firm job polarization. Applying a decomposition framework, I find that both within-firm and between-firm components are…

Previous research has found that weak institutions can hamper investment and alter patterns of trade. However, little is known about the impact of institutional quality on offshoring. This lack of kno…

This paper focuses on the ability of the labor market to efficiently match heterogeneous workers to jobs within a given industry and the role that globalization plays in that process. Using matched wor…

We revisit the question how inward FDI and multinational ownership affect relative labor demand. Motivated by the recent literature that distinguish between skills and tasks, we argue that the impact…

Theories of taste-based discrimination predict that competitive pressures will drive discriminatory behavior out of the market. The authors analyze how firm takeovers and product market competition af…

Recent theoretical analysis suggests that a reduction in the cost of exporting increases the degree of assortative matching between workers and firms in export-oriented industries. Changes that reduce…

We examine the impact of cross-border acquisitions on intra-firm wage dispersion using a detailed Swedish linked employer-employee data set including data on all firms and about 50% of the Swedish lab…

The increase in foreign direct investments raises concerns about labor market consequences in many countries. It is feared that multinational firms are inclined to shift jobs abroad and increase job vo…

We examine the effect of firm profits on wages for individual workers while focusing on the empirical complications associated with estimating the extent of rent-sharing. Controlling for worker and fi…

Analyzing a panel that matches public firms with worker-level data, we find that managerial entrenchment affects workers’ pay. CEOs with more control pay their workers more, but financial incentives t…

I use Swedish establishment-level panel data to test the hypothesis of Bertola and Rogerson (Eur Econ Rev 41:1147–1171 1997) of a positive relation between the degree of wage compression and job reall…

Numerous studies on firm-level data have reported higher average wages in foreign-owned firms than in domestically owned firms. This, however, does not necessarily imply that the individual worker's w…

This paper uses matched employer–employee data set for Sweden to study the relationship between firm age and wages, systematically addressing a variety of possible explanations for observing a firm age–…

A large matched employer–employee data set for Sweden is used to test several predictions from tournament theory. For white-collar workers a positive and significant effect of intra-firm wage dispersi…

We report results indicating that job turnover is not countercyclical in general but rather reflects the inability of smooth labor adjustment through the use of temporary employment contracts. Service…
