1 Wage flexibility of older workers and the role of institutions Evidence from the German LIAB data set Martin Kerndler Vienna Graduate School of Economics University of Vienna Workshop Arbeitsmarktökonomie Nov 11, 2016
2 Motivation wages of older workers might be too high relative to their productivity, leading to early job exit (OECD, 2006, 2013; Frimmel et al., 2015; Skirbekk, 2004, 2008) wage profiles however, high wages per se do not promote layoffs as long as they are sufficiently flexible 2 / 30
3 Motivation wages of older workers might be too high relative to their productivity, leading to early job exit (OECD, 2006, 2013; Frimmel et al., 2015; Skirbekk, 2004, 2008) wage profiles however, high wages per se do not promote layoffs as long as they are sufficiently flexible how does wage flexibility with respect to firm-level performance shocks evolve over age? (du Caju et al., 2007, 2012) is this age pattern affected by different institutional settings? 2 / 30
4 Motivation wages of older workers might be too high relative to their productivity, leading to early job exit (OECD, 2006, 2013; Frimmel et al., 2015; Skirbekk, 2004, 2008) wage profiles however, high wages per se do not promote layoffs as long as they are sufficiently flexible how does wage flexibility with respect to firm-level performance shocks evolve over age? (du Caju et al., 2007, 2012) is this age pattern affected by different institutional settings? policy-relevant because high wage levels + excessive rigidity may lead to early job loss of older workers large costs for the economy 2 / 30

6 Methodology Guiso, Pistaferri, Schivardi (JPE, 2005) estimate wage responses to idiosyncratic permanent and transitory shocks to firm performance dynamic panel regressions for firm performance and individual wages using difference GMM (Arellano-Bond, 1991) identify wage elasticities from residuals via IV application to German LIAB data set allow for age- and institutional heterogeneity in wage responses 4 / 30

20 Main messages significant response to transitory shocks only above age 57 wage flexibility w.r.t. permanent shocks is until age 45, convex increasing thereafter (age 59: 0.15) sector CBA lowers response to permanent shocks the role of works councils: for prime-age workers, lower wage response to transitory shocks, but higher wage response to permanent shocks for older workers, higher wage elasticity w.r.t. both types of shocks consistent with informational frictions at the establishment level that works councils are able to resolve 18 / 30

29 Recap: the differential effects of works councils transitory shocks decrease wage flexibility of young and prime-age workers significantly increase wage flexibility of older workers permanent shocks (weakly) significantly increase wage flexibility for young and prime-age workers significantly increase wage flexibility of older workers effect on older workers seems stronger in firms not covered by a CBA [but low sample size] 27 / 30
30 A theoretical explanation works councils may help resolve informational asymmetries between management and workforce (Freeman and Lazear, 1995) information rights mandated by law (BetrVG) far-reaching co-determination and consent rights put works councils in a strong position works councils likely to receive more credible information about economic conditions and the expected persistence of shocks 28 / 30
31 Indications for the informational channel for prime-age workers, dampened response to transitory shocks but (weakly significant) larger response to permanent shocks for older workers, higher wage responses to both types of shocks low expected remaining employment horizon low match surplus surplus sensible to productivity shocks, especially permanent ones knowledge of size and structure of shocks crucial to avoid layoff higher wage responsiveness for elderly mainly due to firms without CBA the more decentralized bargaining, the more important is firm-specific information in wage setting 29 / 30
32 Next steps robustness checks extend sample to East Germany, other sectors unweighted regression, evtl. drop very small firms clarify role of institutions vs. firm size extend analysis to separations: adjustment to shocks takes place along two margins wages and employment expectation: particularly tight link between wage and layoff risk in firms without works council, especially for older workers appropriate estimation strategy? 30 / 30
