Explaining the Evolution of Hours Worked and Employment Across OECD Countries: An Equilibrium Search Approach

SSRN Electronic Journal (2008)

François Langot Coralia Quintero-Rojas

Since 1960, the dynamics of the aggregate hours of market work exhibit dramatic differences across industrialized countries. Before 1980, these differences seem to come from the hours worked per employee (the intensive margin). However, since 1980 a notable feature of the data is that the divergence across countries responds to quantitatively important differences along the employment rate (the extensive margin). In this paper we develop an equilibrium matching model where both margins are endogenous. The model is rich enough to account for the behavior of the two margins of the aggregate hours when we include the observed heterogeneity across countries of both the taxes and the labor market institutions such as the unemployment benefits and the bargaining power. Because these findings come from an unified framework, they also give a strong support to the matching models.

El impacto del turismo internacional en el estado de Guanajuato: ¿mito o realidad?

DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) (2018)

Mónica Isabel Mejía Rocha Betzabeth Dafne Morales Coralia Quintero-Rojas

El turismo actividad en crecimiento constante. En el estado de Guanajuato representa la segunda fuerza economica, superada solo por el sector automotriz y dejando atras al sector agricola y cuero – calzado. Dentro de este, el turismo internacional es de gran relevancia para la evolucion de la economia regional y que ha sido muy poco estudiado. Debido a lo antes mencionado, se origina el principal objetivo del estudio, consiste en analizar las variables mas importantes que expliquen la demanda de turistas internacionales a Guanajuato. Lo anterior nos permitira, por una parte, distinguir los factores clave que explican la demanda y por otra parte evaluar el poder atractor de nuestro patrimonio cultural frente al atractor propiamente comercial y de negocios.

Book review of: "The Labour Market Impact of the EU Enlargement: A New Regional Geography of Europe?"

DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) (2011)

Coralia Quintero-Rojas

The Labour Market Impact of the EU Enlargement: A New Regional Geography of Europe?1 This book summarises the main results of the works presented at the XXII Annual Conference of the Italian Association of Labour Economists. The authors of the various essays included provide us with a thought-provoking book that raises many important issues relating to the structural changes and convergence process that have taken place in EU countries, but from the particular perspective of labour aspects. Europe has gone through a severe restructuring process since the collapse of the communist regimes prevalent in the Eastern European Block in the early 90s, barely 20 years ago. This process has entailed not only economic adjustment, but also adjustment in other spheres-the social, the political, the military, and so on-, and has affected all the countries and markets of Europe at both an individual and aggregate level. Of course, this restructuring process has been greater, deeper and more relevant in those countries that moved from a regime of central planning to one of a market-oriented economy, which led to profound change in all of their structures: from a dictatorial, governmental and centralised structure towards a democratic, decentralised and marketoriented one. The two major questions addressed in the book can be summarised as follows: how did regional imbalances emerge among the new EU members compared to those present in the old, and does the lack of regional convergence apply to the new EU members as well? The contributions presented are grouped into four sections, each of which addresses a specific question concerning the principal aspects of the new situation of the European labour market and the relevant facts observed in the data, such as the differences in persistence in the labour market and the apparent lack of convergence among the member countries. Part I, comprised of two papers, analyses the effects of structural change on the distribution of income growth rates and employment opportunities across regions. The first paper, Structural Change and Labour Reallocation Across Regions: A Review of the Literature, by Floro Ernesto Caroleo and Francesco Pastore, introduces the key questions and summarises the on-going research into the causes of regional imbalances in the labour market, whilst focusing on the role of structural change. The analysis presented calls for more state intervention in favour of backward regions than has been the case in the past, and also evaluates a number of proposals. The authors' argument effectively challenges the conventional wisdom on what fiscal policy should be. However, they also point out the deficiencies of traditional models in analysing the particular features of the region, and suggest the need to look at the latter from a more region-specific perspective. Similarly, Jan Bruha, Delia Ionascu and Byeongju Jeong question the traditional view of labour unions as the key factor in causing stagnation in their paper Organized Labour and Restructuring: Coal Mines in the Czech Republic and Romania. In contrast, these authors highlight the importance of initial conditions in determining the particular type of connection that develops between organised labour and economic progress during the restructuring process. From this perspective, the restructuring of production towards meeting the needs of a market economy could be optimal even in the presence of organised labour, depending on the path followed and other factors, such as the unions' history of militancy. Since this conclusion is inferred from a case study on two extreme situations, it would have been beneficial if the authors had discussed had discussed the applicability of their findings to more moderate conditions. Part II investigates the convergence of regional indicators 20 years after the onset of the transition. The four contributions in this section focus heavily on both regional features and institutional change in explaining labour market performance in the transition countries. …

Insights on the theoretical causes of labour informality: the indivisibility of hours

Journal of Social Researches (2020)

Coralia Quintero-Rojas Sébastien Ménard

Achieving decent work for all is essential for promoting sustainable and inclusive growth and development. However, in the world prevails a marked lack of decent work, higher unemployment, and persistent inequalities; and this panorama has been exacerbated by the global effects of the pandemic caused by COVID – 19. The gap from decent work is especially pronounced in the informal economy, which affects roughly 61% of the global employed population; moreover, it implies large social and economic costs, affecting income, occupational health and safety, productivity, and welfare. In this context, our goal is to develop a suitable theoretical framework to explore the causes of informal employment, based on the wage posting approach pioneered by Burdett and Mortensen (1998). Our note adds to this line of research by considering other general characteristic of the formal sector as a cause of informality, such as the rigid contracts regarding wages and working time. This hypothesis seems pertinent given that informality affects high-skilled workers too.

Discriminación de género en redes laborales

Ensayos Revista de Economía (2015)

César Vladimir Martínez-Arango Coralia Quintero-Rojas Lari Arthur Viianto

Este trabajo se circunscribe a la literatura de Modelos Basados en Agentes (MBA) y su objetivo central es analizar las diferencias que existen en el desempeño de los mercados laborales de hombres y de mujeres, bajo el supuesto de que hay una desigualdad cultural en el trato que la sociedad le da a cada género. Con este fin, se desarrolla un modelo de transferencias de información a través de redes sociales fijas cuyos nodos corresponden a parejas de hombres y mujeres que son económicamente activos. El modelo es entonces usado para evaluar el impacto que los roles de género tienen en el mercado laboral. Los resultados de las simulaciones muestran que, aún sin discriminaciones salariales o de segregación laboral, los roles de género tienen un impacto negativo sobre las brechas de género referentes al desempleo, la participación y la probabilidad de obtener una oferta de trabajo a través de la red.

Hours worked: Explaining the cross-country differences through the effects of tax/benefit systems on the employment rate

RePEc: Research Papers in Economics (2008)

Coralia Quintero-Rojas

In this paper, we explain the observed lower hours worked in Central and Nordic European countries since the 80s, relative to Anglo-Saxon countries, through the effects of the tax benefit/systems on the employment rate. To this end we develop a search and matching economy `a la Pissarides that then we use as laboratory to conduct several quantitative experiences using an accounting method.

The effects of a bonus-malus workers' compensation system on the labor force structure, productivity, and welfare

HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe) (2018)

Sébastien Ménard Coralia Quintero-Rojas

This paper investigates the economic impact of adjusting premiums of workers' compensation systems, according to the firms' absenteeism rates. We develop a search and matching economy where workers are identical, but firms differ in terms of their Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). We show that this policy allows productivity, employment, and welfare to be improved.
