Carrières et réseaux d'immigrants Ana Damas De Matos, Daniel Parent, David Card

The process of how the economic status of immigrants’ changes from the time of their arrival onward, and how they integrate into the labour market can determine what factors lead to improved outcomes. Another area of interest is how the career dynamics of immigrants and natives differ. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: (1) how do immigrants sort into different firms as they assimilate and how their networks play a role in this process, and (2) how firm-specific pay policies may affect immigrants and natives differently? While previous Canadian studies that have investigated the economic status of immigrants employ census-type data, this study will use longitudinal matched employer and employee data. This data is particularly useful as the same sample is tracked at different points in time. The study will look at changes in the characteristics of the jobs immigrants sort into as they assimilate. Such characteristics include the ratio of natives to immigrants in the firm and the size of the firm. Schmutte (2015) has shown that individuals whose neighbours are employed at high-paying firms are more likely to move to a firm that is higher-paying. It is of interest to see if this is the case for immigrants. This may distinguish if certain groups of immigrants that live in certain places assimilate faster.

Changes in wage and productivity inequalities in Canada over 2001-2011 Benoit Dostie, Daniel Parent

This article takes advantage of new Canadian administrative linked employer-employee data to study the role of employers in explaining changes in inequality along two dimensions. First, we use information about the worker's employer to examine how within-firm and between-firm earning inequality evolved over the past decade. Second, we use firm-level productivity information to shed some light on the evolution of productivity inequality over the last decade. Finally, we interpret these findings in the light of current theories about increasing wage inequality and summarize how these results improve our understanding of the dynamics of productivity dispersion. More precisely, we link the changes in productivity inequality to changes in wage inequality to specifically address the question of how the two are closely connected or not.

Do Firms in Canada Exploit All of their Wage-Setting Power? Suresh Naidu, Matthew Mazewski, Leonard Goff

Beginning with the work of the economist Joan Robinson in the 1930’s, the word “monopsony" has been used in economics to refer to any market situation in which the buyer of a good possesses market power (i.e. some ability to choose the price at which they buy), regardless of whether or not there is actually only a single such buyer. Although monopsony power may be an important phenomenon in many different contexts, a growing body of research has focused on identifying and quantifying its extent in labor markets. Unfortunately, the existing empirical literature on this topic has thus far not meaningfully addressed one especially significant question, namely: to what extent do firms exploit all of the potential monopsony power available to them in setting the wages of their workers? The goal of our proposed study is to directly explore this question by using the CEEDD to simultaneously estimate both wage markdowns, or reduction of wages below what would be earned in a perfectly competitive market where firms have no wage-setting power, as well as the “full'' markdowns that would be predicted by standard models of an imperfectly competitive labor market, given the labor supply elasticity facing particular firms (a measure of how likely workers are to quit in response to wage cuts). Our hope is that these estimates will allow us to measure not only the average extent to which firms utilize their available wage-setting power, but also to explore heterogeneity in the same and to identify relevant correlates of being a “high-utilization" or “low-utilization" (of monopsony power) firm. We are particularly interested in studying whether firms with governance structures that allow for employee participation, including collective bargaining, are less aggressive monopsonists, as predicted by recent theoretical work on the topic.

Effect of environment on manufacturing plants: A study case of combined air pollution and temperature Nicholas Rivers

Both pollution and climate change are known to negatively impact the health and productivity of workers. Research has primarily focused on how these factors affect outcomes of developing countries and the agricultural sector. Little is known about the impact of air pollution and climate change on manufacturing plants in developed countries. In developed countries such as Canada, the agricultural sector accounts for a small share (6.6 %) of gross domestic product (GDP) relative to that of the manufacturing sector (approximately 11 %). The purpose of this research is to study how the productivity of Canadian manufacturing plants is affected by the interaction of temperature and air pollution. While both temperature and pollution individually affect manufacturing plants’ outcomes, a mix of both could amplify these affects.

Entrepreneurial Choice in the Presence of Secondary Markets Zachary Mahone, Bettina Brüggemann, Thomas Palmer

We document the importance of secondary markets (i.e., business re-sale) for the growth and establishment of private businesses using administrative matched employer-employee data from Canada. In particular, we quantify the extent of ownership turnover among private firms and identify the characteristics of owners and firms that are most often associated with engaging in such transactions. In addition, by tracking individual firms over time, we document how firm growth responds to the presence of secondary markets and the corresponding impact on industry composition. This project fills a gap in the firm dynamics literature which has so far ignored the role of secondary markets for private businesses.

Estimating the Impacts of Payroll Taxes: Evidence from Administrative Canadian Employer-Employee Data Benoit Dostie, Robert Gagné

In this paper, we use linked employer-employe administrative tax data from Canada to estimate the impact of payroll taxes on a variety of firms and workers outcomes. At the firm-level, we use geographic and time variations in tax rates to identify the effect of payroll taxes on wage growth at the worker level. For one province, we exploit a clean overtime change in the payroll tax rate to estimate its impact on the firm's level of employment, average wage and productivity, with difference-in-differences models, taking into account firm-level unobserved heterogeneity. Additionally, taking advantage of the nature of linked data, we estimate wage equations with both fixed worker and firm fixed effects. We find no impact on employment and productivity but significant impacts on wages, implying that payroll taxes are passed almost entirely to workers in the form of lower wages.

Immigrant Business Ownership, Employment and International Trade in Canada Loretta Fung

This project sets out to investigate the impact of immigrant business ownership and employment on Canada's international trade. We propose to use Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics database connected with data on imports and exports for the empirical analysis. We propose to quantify the effects of immigrant owned firms and immigrant employees on the extensive and intensive margins of imports and exports for products with different degrees of differentiation. We also plan to extend the analysis to examine whether the contribution of immigrant business ownership to international trade is affected by the cultural/linguistic distance between the country of origin and Canada.

Interrelated Factor Demand of Heterogeneous Capital Goods and Labour Alexander Amundsen, Markus Poschke

This project will explore the technological frictions that firms face when adjusting their capital and labour. These frictions, known as adjustment costs, limit the ability of firms to optimally set their input allocations. Using an administrative firm level dataset from Statistics Canada, a three-factor structural model is developed to estimate the adjustment costs of buildings, machinery & equipment, and labour. The project highlights the degree to which these adjustment costs differ across inputs and explores interrelations between them. These interrelations are important because they provide an additional channel through which fiscal and monetary policy can affect the factor demand of inputs.

La croissance de l'emplois et frictions financières au niveau de l'entreprise : preuves empiriques du Canada Gorkem Ozdemir, Hafedh Bouakez

The post-Great Recession (2007-2009) economy has exhibited a slow rate of recovery. This is especially evident when examining unemployment. One suggested underlying cause of this trend is the significant decline in new firms, or new entrants, during 2008-2009. In Canada, while there has been a slow decrease in unemployment, the employment rate has remained steady. Thus, it appears the ability to create jobs has not yet recovered since the Great Recession. This raises the question of what factors determine a firm’s status as a job creator. The firm entry rate in Canada is decreasing, while the job creation rate of firms who do enter the market is 1.5 to 2.5%. This is greater than the aggregate annual job growth in Canada. This trend shows firms that have an established position in the market are not net job creators, and new firms may be job creators. This study hopes to answer the following questions: (1) what factors affect the initial performance of new firms and (2) what determines the fact that some firms are high growth (job creators), while others rapidly shrink. The study will also focus on how constraints after a financial shock (i.e., the Great Recession) affect the entry decision of new firms.

Labour Market Implications of Mergers and Acquisitions Olivier Dessaint, Andrey Golubov

Recent studies have indicated that the gains to shareholders from mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are a result of layoffs that occur post-merger. After an M&A, the firm undergoes restructuring. In this process, it is likely that some of the workforce at the combined firm may be laid off. While the wealth effects of shareholders are well documented, those of employees are not, especially in the Canadian context. The purpose of this study is to examine the well-being and wealth effect of workers that are employed at merged firms. Specifically, this study hopes to answer the following: (1) what is the effect on the level of employment after an M&A (2) what are the demographics (ex. age, gender, job skill level, family status) of terminated employees and (3) what are the future employment characteristics of such workers (i.e., type, earnings, sector, and location)?

Learning, Employment Match Quality and Business Turnover Shutao Cao

This project investigates to what extent individual learning/experience and employment match quality affect firm creation (new entrepreneurship) and firm survival. Learning and experience is a proxy for the quantity of entrepreneurial human capital, and employment match quality is a proxy for the quality of such human capital. New entrepreneurship as an occupational choice is the outcome of accumulation of the entrepreneurial human capital, meanwhile, this human capital as an initial condition may also affect the firm exit decision. To this end, we incorporate learning/experience and employment match quality into a dynamic model of occupational choice (i.e., switching between being an employee and being a business owner) using the matched employee-employer data CEEDD. The project also offers insights on the relative importance of financial wealth and entrepreneurial human capital in business formation.

Mass layoffs, informal networks, and the success of recent immigrants Matthew Courchene

This project examines the role that firms play in the economic assimilation of new immigrants to Canada. Because some firms pay more than others (even after conditioning on a worker's skill), two identical individuals working at different firms may be paid differently. The tendency of new immigrants to be employed at low-paying firms, and their propensity to move out of these firms, has important implications for their long-term economic success. This project analyzes the characteristics of firms who tend to employ immigrants, and most importantly, those that hire immigrants directly from abroad. This project speaks to the policy debate on the degree to which employers should be directly involved in immigrant selection in Canada.

Migration in The Wake of Industrial Change: Evidence From Canadian-Linked Employer–Employee Administrative Data Michael Haan

In this project, we will advance the findings of each of these papers by looking in detail at how workers move over their life course, examining in particular how multiple aspects of industrial change impact mobility. The analysis for this proposed research will draw on the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD), which contains rich data on both individual and firm-level characteristics that may motivate migration for close to two decades.

The Effect of Universal Child Care on Employee Productivity and Firm Performance Elena Simintzi, Sheng-Jun Xu, Ting Xu

We aim to understand how providing access to affordable childcare can affect economic productivity. We know from a wide body of academic literature that child-rearing responsibilities impose a severe penalty on the careers of working women, and governments have occasionally attempted to address this by providing public subsidies for universal childcare access. We study one prominent example of such a subsidy program, in which Quebec introduced a generous universal subsidy in 1997 that limited childcare costs to five dollars per day. The specific implementation of the program allows us to compare working mothers with children who are narrowly eligible versus narrowly ineligible for the new program. By comparing otherwise-similar individuals with differing levels of access to childcare, we can estimate how access to childcare affects the future productivity and career trajectories of the individuals affected. We also study whether this subsidy improved the productivity of firms by comparing Quebec to Canadian provinces that did not introduce any new subsidy programs. Our research will provide future policymakers with a better understanding of the costs and benefits of childcare subsidy programs.

The impact of minimum wage increases on firm productivity Lyming Huang, Matthew Webb

While there is a large body of literature studying the impact of minimum wages on employment, there is less research into how minimum wages affect firms. Minimum wages increase the cost of paying workers to firms. This gives firms a strong incentive to look for efficiencies, such as increasing performance standards or asking for greater proficiency in job duties. If workers can accomplish more in the same amount of time, they justify their pay increases; if this happens on large enough scale, the result is higher firm productivity. We will study minimum wage increases in Canada from 2001 to 2015 and explore whether these increases resulted in higher firm productivity.

The impact of voluntary energy conservation programs on economic and environmental outcomes: Evidence from the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation Philippe Kabore, Nicholas Rivers

This project aims at evaluating the efficiency of Canadian energy conservation program also called CIPEC program. CIPEC program is a voluntary program which consist at encouraging firms to manage their energy use more efficiently. Through CIPEC reports, it has been highlighted that many firms have been able to reduce their energy waste through the change of attitude or by upgrading machines that are more energy efficient. CIPEC program offers a setting where members share successful experience between them in order to be more energy efficient. To date, there is no a proper evaluation of this program since its launch in 1975. We aim to fill this gap by investigating the direct and indirect effect of this program on its members.

The Labour Market Risks of Entrepreneurship Baxter Robinson, Burhan Kuruscu , Gueorgui Kambourov

Starting a business is risky because many businesses fail. Unsuccessful entrepreneurs may lose some of the money they invest, they may lose income by giving up a job in order to start the business, and after their business fails, they may not be able to find as high-paying a job as they had before. How important are these different losses for Canadian entrepreneurs? This project seeks to understand how these different risks discourage people with good ideas from starting businesses. By better understanding these risks, we can create public policy to more effectively encourage people to become entrepreneurs.

Graying and staying on the job: The welfare implications of employment protection for older workers Todd Morris, Benoit Dostie

We study the welfare implications of employment protection for older workers, exploiting recent bans on mandatory retirement across Canadian provinces. Using linked employer-employee tax data, we show that the bans cause large and similar reductions in job separation rates and retirement hazards at age 65, with further reductions at higher ages. The effects vary substantially across industries and firms, and around two-fifths of the adjustments occur between ban announcement and implementation dates. We find no evidence that the demand for older workers falls, but the welfare effects are mediated by spillovers on savings behavior, workplace injuries, and spousal retirement timing.

Benoit Dostie is a Professor at HEC Montréal and co-investigator in the Partnership.

What is the Role of Firm-Specific Pay Policies on the Gender Earnings Gap in Canada? Benoit Dostie, Beryl Li, Gaëlle Simard-Duplain

Using data from the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database between 2001 and 2015, we examine the impact of firms’ hiring and pay-setting policies on the gender earnings gap in Canada. Consistent with the existing literature and following Card, Cardoso, and Kline (2016), we find that firm-specific premiums explain nearly one quarter of the 26.8% average earnings gap between female and male workers. On average, firms’ hiring practices – due to difference in the relative proportion of women hired at high-wage firms, or sorting – and pay-setting policies – due to differences in pay by gender within similar firms – each explain about one half of this firm effect. The compositional difference between the two channels varies substantially over the life-cycle, by parental and marital status, and across provinces.

Employer Policies and the Immigrant-Native Earnings Gap Benoit Dostie, David Card, Daniel Parent

We use longitudinal data from the income tax system to study the impacts of firms’ employment and wage-setting policies on the level and change in immigrant-native wage differences in Canada. We focus on immigrants who arrived in the early 2000s, distinguishing between those with and without a college degree from two broad groups of countries – the U.S., the U.K. and Northern Europe, and the rest of the world. Consistent with a growing literature based on the two-way fixed effects model of Abowd, Kramarz, and Margolis (1999), we find that firm-specific wage premiums explain a significant share of earnings inequality in Canada and contribute to the average earnings gap between immigrants and natives. In the decade after receiving permanent status, earnings of immigrants rise relative to those of natives. Compositional effects due to selective outmigration and changing participation play no role in this gain. About one-sixth is attributable to movements up the job ladder to employers that offer higher pay premiums for all groups, with particularly large gains for immigrants from the “rest of the world” countries.
