Raaum, Oddbjørn, Bratsberg, Bernt, Røed, Knut, Österbacka, Eva, Eriksson, Tor, Jäntti, Markus, ...
We present comparable evidence on intergenerational earnings mobility for Denmark, Finland, Norway, the UK and the US, with a focus on the role of gender and marital status. We confirm that earnings...

We show that the patterns of intergenerational earnings mobility in Denmark, Finland, and Norway, unlike those for the US and the UK, are highly nonlinear. The Nordic relationship between log...

We develop methods and employ similar sample restrictions to analyse differences in intergenerational earnings mobility across the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, Norway and...
Earnings assimilation of immigrants in Norway – A reappraisal
The relative earnings growth for immigrants in Norway is computed. Unlike Hayfron (1998, this journal) we define immigrants by country of origin rather than citizenship and perform separate studies...

Despite important policy implications associated with the allocation of education resources, evidence on the effectiveness of school inputs remains inconclusive. In part, this is due to endogenous...
Young and out: An application of a prospects-based concept of social exclusion
Raaum, Oddbjørn, Rogstad, Jon, Røed, Knut, Westlie, Lars
We develop a forward-looking empirical concept of social exclusion based on the estimated transition probabilities from a random effects multinominal Logit-model. Youths are considered socially...
When Minority Labor Migrants Meet the Welfare State
Bernt Bratsberg, Oddbjørn Raaum, Knut Røed
The lifecycle employment profiles of minority labor migrants who came to Norway in the early 1970s diverge significantly from those of native comparison persons. During the early years, employment in...
A large representative sample of Norwegian twins is used to estimate the causal effect of schooling on earnings in Norway, separately for men and women. The within-twin-pair estimates reveal that...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to improve our understanding of why some firms tie compensation to worker performance as well as the variation in type of performance pay system across firms....

Performance Pay and Within-Firm Wage Inequality
Barth, Erling, Bratsberg, Bernt, Haegeland, Torbjørn, Raaum, Oddbjørn
This paper examines the impact of performance-related pay on wage differentials within firms. Our theoretical framework predicts that, compared to a fixed pay system, pay schemes based on individual...
