Firms can adjust physical capital, human capital, or both. The speed of adjustment may differ as well: costs of adjustment, the type of shock, the legal and economic enviroment all matter. In this paper, we focus on firms that downsized between 1992 and 1997, but ultimately survive, and investigate how the human capital distribution within a firm influences the speed of adjustment, {\it ceteris paribus}. In other words, when do firms use mass layoffs instead of attrition to adjust the level of employment. We combine worker-level wage records and measures of human capital with firm-level characteristics of the production function, and use levels and changes in these variables to characterize the choice of adjustment method and speed. Firms are described/compared up to 9 years prior to death. We also consider how workers fare after leaving downsizing firms, and analyze if observed differences in post-separation outcomes of workers provide clues to the choice of adjustment speed.}, file = {McKinneyVilhuber2006-ESEM2006.pdf:/home/vilhuber/Textes/Papers/Census/CAFE-displacement-death/releases/2006-05-24/McKinneyVilhuber2006-ESEM2006.pdf:PDF}, institution = {U.S. Census Bureau, LEHD and Cornell University}, journal = {Conference on Research in Income and Wealth}, owner = {vilhuber}, type = {mimeo} } @INPROCEEDINGS{Vilhuber2007, author = {Lars Vilhuber}, title = {Adjusting imperfect data: Overview and case studies}, booktitle = {Wage Structure, Raises and Mobility: {I}nternational Comparisons of the Structure of Wages Within and Across Firms}, year = {forthcoming}, editor = {Edward Lazear and Kathryn Shaw}, series = {NBER}, publisher = {University of Chicago Press}, file = {tp-2004-05.pdf:L/LEHD/tp-2004-05.pdf:PDF}, institution = {LEHD}, owner = {vilhuber}, timestamp = {2007.07.16}, type = {Technical paper} } @TECHREPORT{tp-2004-05, author = {Lars Vilhuber}, title = {Adjusting imperfect data: Overview and case studies}, institution = {LEHD}, year = {2004}, type = {Technical paper}, number = {TP-2004-05}, file = {tp-2004-05.pdf:L/LEHD/tp-2004-05.pdf:PDF} } @ARTICLE{Vilhuber99a, author = {Lars Vilhuber}, title = {Continuous Training and sectoral mobility in {G}ermany: {E}vidence from the 90s}, journal = {Quarterly Journal of Economic Research}, year = {1999}, volume = {2}, abstract = {see Vilhuber99b}, mylibrary = {my own...}, optjournal = {Vierteljahresheft f{\"u}r Wirtschaftsforschung} } @TECHREPORT{Vilhuber99b, author = {Lars Vilhuber}, title = {Continuous Training and sectoral mobility in {G}ermany}, institution = {CIRANO}, year = {1999}, type = {Scientific Series }, number = {99s-03}, month = { }, abstract = {This article studies mobility patterns of German workers in light of a model of sector-specific human capital. Furthermore, I employ and describe little-used data on continuous on-the-job training occuring after apprenticeships. Results are presented describing the incidence and duration of continuous training. Continuous training is quite common, depite the high incidence of apprenticeships which precedes this part of a worker's career. Most previous studies have only distinguished between firm-specific and general human capital, generally concluding that training was general. Inconsistent with those conclusions, I show that German men are more likely to find a job within the same sector if they have received continuous training in that sector. These results are similar to results obtained for young U.S. workers, and suggest that sector-specific capital is an important feature of very different labor markets. Furthermore, the results suggest that the observed effect of training on mobility is sensitive to the state of the business cycle, indicating a more complex interaction between supply and demand that most theoretical models allow for.}, keywords = {training mobility Germany} } @TECHREPORT{Vilhuber97a, author = {Lars Vilhuber}, title = {Sector-Specific On-The-Job Training: Evidence from {U.S.} Data}, institution = {CIRANO}, year = {1997}, type = {Scientific Series }, number = {97s-42}, abstract = {Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), we re-examine the effect of formal on-the-job training on mobility patterns of young American workers. By employing parametric duration models, we evaluate the economic impact of training on productive time with an employer. Confirming previous studies, we find a positive and statistically significant impact of formal on-the-job training on tenure with the employer providing the training. However, expected duration net of the time spent in the training program is generally not significantly increased. We proceed to document and analyze intra-sectoral and cross-sectoral mobility patterns in order to infer whether training provides firm-specific, industry-specific, or general human capital. The econometric analysis rejects a sequential model of job separation in favor of a competing risks specification. We find significant evidence for the industry-specificity of training. The probability of sectoral mobility upon job separation decreases with training received in the current industry, whether with the last employer or previous employers, and employment attachment increases with on-the-job training. These results are robust to a number of variations on the base model.}, jelclass = {J4 J6} } @TECHREPORT{Vilhuber96, author = {Lars Vilhuber}, title = {Wage Flexibility and Contract Structure in {G}ermany }, institution = {CIRANO}, year = {1996}, type = {Scientific Series}, number = {96s-28}, abstract = {In this paper, we look at how labor market conditions at different points during the tenure of individuals with firms are correlated with current earnings. Using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel on individuals for the period 1984 to 1994, we find that both the contemporaneous unemployment rate and prior values of the unemployment rate are significantly correlated with current earnings, contrary to results for the American labor market. We interpret this result as evidence that German unions do in fact bargain over both wages and employment, but that the models of individualistic contracts, such as the implicit contract model, may explain some of the observed wage drift and longer-term wage movements reasonably well. Furthermore, we explore the heterogeneity of contracts over a variety of worker and job characteristics. In particular, we find evidence that contracts differ across industries and across firm size. Workers of large firms are remarkably more insulated from the job market than workers for any other type of firm, indicating the importance of internal job markets. }, jelclass = {J23, J31, J41}, mylibrary = {yes} } @TECHREPORT{tp-2000-01, author = {Lars Vilhuber and Robert Pedace}, title = {Longitudinal analysis of SSN response on SIPP 1990-1993 panels}, institution = {LEHD, U.S. Census Bureau}, year = {2000}, type = {Technical paper}, number = {TP-2000-01}, file = {tp-2000-01.pdf:L/LEHD/tp-2000-01.pdf:PDF} } @BOOK{DunneJensenRoberts2007, title = {Producer Dynamics: New Evidence from Micro Data}, publisher = {The University of Chicago Press for the National Bureau of Economic Research}, year = {forthcoming}, editor = {Timothy Dunne and J.
