    Wage Mobility in Europe. A Comparative Analysis Using restricted Multinomial Logit Regression

    In this paper, we investigate cross-country differences in wage mobility in Europe using the European Community Household Panel. The paper is particularly focused on examining the impact of economic conditions, welfare state regimes and employment regulation on wage mobility. We apply a log-linear approach that is very much similar to a restricted multinomial logit model and much more flexible than the standard probit approach. It appears that regime, economic conditions and employment regulation explain a substantial part of the cross-country variation. The findings also confirm the existence of an inverse U-shape pattern of wage mobility, showing a great deal of low and high-wage persistence in all countries.wages; wage mobility; wage dynamics; multinomial logit regression; loglinear models; welfare states

    Job search, employment chances and living conditions of social welfare recipients in Dutch ‘Participation Income’ experiments: Results from administrative and survey data

    The paper discusses the history, design and first empirical findings of Dutch local RCT experiments with Participation Income which are currently implemented in eleven cities. The emergence of these local experiments can be viewed as reflecting an ongoing shift in Dutch social policy from a classical ‘stick and carrot’ or workfare approach of social welfare to a social investment and capacitating approach. The empirical analyses discusses the methodology and outcomes on job search, employment and living conditions of some 1500 participants using the participants’ survey data and the municipal administrative data. We perform LCA (latent class analysis) to provide a profile of the participants of the experiments and we estimate (binary logit regression) their exit probabilities into paid work over the period June 2016 to June 2018. In the end we formulate some expectations and conclusions about the meaning and effects of these participation income experiments in the Netherlands for people’s employment, health and wellbeing situation and their wider implications for social policy
