The effect of trade on earnings - evidence from Swedish micro data

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Using a large longitudinal data set, we study the effects of increased trade on earnings in the Swedish labor market. Earnings respond significantly to changes in industry sales, whether generated by domestic market forces or international trade: Swedish exports (imports) raise (lower) annual earnings, but changes in trade affect earnings just as any other shift in market conditions. We also examine whether the effects of trade vary by skill. We do not find systematic differences in the effects of trade across the skill distribution.

Trade, earnings and mobility : Swedish evidence
- 2000
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Using a large longitudinal data set, we study the effects of increased trade on earnings and mobility in the Swedish labor market in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Earnings respond significantly to changes in industry sales, whether generated by domestic market forces or international trade: Swedish exports (imports) raise (lower) annual earnings, but changes in trade affect earnings just as any other shift in market conditions. In general, the wage effects are small; the prime response to changes in the product market appears to be variations in employment. We also examine whether trade has differential effects across skill groups. However, we do not find systematic differences in the effects of trade across the earnings distribution.

Gammahydroxybutyric acid: central biochemical and behavioral effects in neonatal rats.
- 1985
-
Ingår i: Pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavior. - 0091-3057. ; 23:2, s. 185-9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Administration of gammahydroxybutyric acid (GHBA) to 4 days old animals caused a dose dependent decrease in locomotor activity. GHBA also induced a marked hypoventilation, irregular breathing and finally apnea, while heart rate was slightly increased. Changes in monoamine neurotransmitter turnover indicated an inhibition of dopamine (DA) neurotransmission. It is concluded that GHBA mechanisms in the neonatal rat brain are biochemically as well as functionally mature at an early age and that the effects on locomotor activity and respiratory regulation at least partly may involve interactions with central DA neurotransmission.

Employer attitudes towards refugee immigrants : Findings from a Swedish survey
- 2016
-
Ingår i: International labour review (Print). - : Wiley. - 0020-7780 .- 1564-913X. ; 155:2, s. 315-337

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on a large-scale survey of Swedish firms, the authors identify significant heterogeneity in their attitudes towards refugee hiring, job performance, wage setting and discrimination, though experience of employing refugees reduces negative attitudes. Firms' reasons for discontinuing their employment of refugees are not related to discrimination by staff or customers, but rather to refugees' suboptimal job performance. While the majority of firms do not regard the collectively agreed minimum wages as an important obstacle to the hiring of refugees, firms with a large share of refugees on the payroll report that reducing those wage rates would enhance employment substantially.

Employer attitudes towards refugee immigrants
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We present a large survey with responses from Swedish firms on their attitudes towardsrefugees, regarding hiring, job performance, wage setting and discrimination. There is a greatdeal of heterogeneity in attitudes, but experience of having refugees on the payroll reducesnegative attitudes to them. Firms’ reasons for ceasing to have refugees as employees are notrelated to discrimination of refugees by staff or customers, but rather to poor job performance.While most firms agree with statements that wage cuts negatively affect worker cohesion,effort or the quality of applicants, employers who consider such cuts as employmentenhancing tend to not agree.#

Minimum wages and the integration of refugee immigrants
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper is the first to estimate the effects of minimum wages on the unemployment of refugee immigrants. The collectively agreed minimum wages raise both the incidence of unemployment and days in unemployment considerably for male refugees in Sweden; different estimation methods and models yield robust elasticities in the 1.8–2.0 range. The effects for young male natives are about half as large. There are heterogeneous effects with regard to country of origin and time of residence in Sweden for both male and female refugees. We account for spatial trends – a concern in some of the recent literature – as well as industrial trends. It turns out that only the latter affect our results.

Survey evidence on wage rigidity and unemployment : Sweden in the 1990s
- 1999
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study reports the results from a repeat survey among managers in Swedish manufacturing, designed to explore how a severe and prolonged macroeconomic shock affects wage rigidity and unemployment. Our second survey was conducted in 1998, when the unemployment rate was much higher, and the inflation rate much lower, than when we conducted the first survey in 1991. We find no evidence that the increase in unemployment has softened the mechanisms generating wage rigidity. On the contrary, we conclude that – because of severe downward nominal wage rigidity – real wages have become more rigid during Sweden’s move to a low-inflation environment. We also report a range of new evidence on underbidding, efficiency wage mechanisms, job security legislation, workers’ wage norms, and to what extent the long-term unemployed are subject to statistical discrimination.
