I am interested in the employer-employee relationship, what determines a worker’s decision to choose a given job and career and a firm’s decision to organize and reward work. I am also interested in understanding how the unemployment insurance system affects individuals’ post-unemployment outcomes (type of job, pay and benefits). My work builds on empirically estimating theoretical predictions about firms’ organizational choices and workers’ occupational mobility decisions using data from Canada, the U.S. and Germany. The main results show substantial differences between men and women’s choices and outcomes and between young and old firms, and firms of different sizes.
