  2. Output-based wages were linked to higher quality and slower task work
    Study shows output-based pay leads to higher quality and more time per task unit than time-based pay, suggesting compensation structure signals performance standards.
  3. Digitalization is linked to lower youth unemployment in Kazakhstan
    Study analyzes digitalization's impact on youth unemployment in Kazakhstan using ARDL analysis, finding 1% Internet increase reduces youth unemployment by 0.27% in the short run.

  7. Inflation can increase job switching and vacancies
    Model explaining how nominal wage stickiness causes workers to switch jobs during inflation, creating paradox of high vacancies with lower real wages.
  8. Strikes and lockouts reduced applications to Danish public service programs

    Economic analysis of noncompete clauses, examining whether they protect firm investments or reduce worker mobility, wages, and innovation through widespread use.
  11. Tenure shows limited wage gains in South Korea
    Analysis of 20 years of Korean labor data reveals nonlinear wage returns to tenure, with sector-specific skills driving growth more than occupation experience.
  12. Wages track productivity more closely in wealthier countries
    Explore how productivity gains translate differently to wages across income levels. Study reveals threshold effects showing wealthier nations have stronger wage-productivity links than.
  13. Renaming was the only restructuring linked to better enrollment
    Longitudinal analysis of 1087 departmental restructuring cases in Taiwan's TVET institutions reveals differential efficacy of governance strategies under demographic decline.
  14. Trade and migration frictions affect unemployment in opposite ways
    Study comparing how international trade and sectoral allocation frictions differentially affect employment reallocation and unemployment, emphasizing firm productivity sorting mechanisms.
  15. Employers rate non-employed applicants by reason for absence
    Study reveals how employment gaps affect hiring decisions. Training breaks boost prospects, while discouragement stigma severely harms candidacy. Employer perceptions vary by gap reason.

  18. Correcting publication bias lowers estimated unemployment-benefit effects
    Meta-analysis of unemployment insurance effects on joblessness duration, correcting publication bias to estimate optimal replacement rates at 28% in the United States.
  19. Accreditation is linked to long-run wage gains, not higher employability
    Study examines whether institutional accreditation improves employment and wage outcomes for technical vocational higher education graduates in Chile using advanced econometric methods.
  20. Decomposing Variations in Labor Market Mismatch
    Analysis decomposing labor market mismatch into unemployment, vacancy, and matching efficiency components, finding unemployment drives cyclical variation while vacancy effects are countercyclical.
