%0 Report %A Contini, Bruno %A Villosio, Claudia %T Worker Mobility, Displacement, Redeployment and Wage Dynamics in Italy %D 2007 %8 2007 Feb %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 2622 %U https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp2622 %X We investigate various stylized facts on wage growth, labor mobility and firm size, to date unexplored in Italy. Using a wage decomposition that allows to separate “individual premiums” from firm-effects, we ascertain: (1) whether movers are better off than stayers; (2) whether firm size affects the outcome of workers’ mobility across; and (3) the extent to which did job displacement and redeployment inflict wage losses to downsized workers. The sample – a closed panel of full-time male employees, aged 20-50, at work from 1986 to 1991 – is drawn from the employer-employee linked database WHIP (Work Histories Italian Panel). %K job mobility %K wage growth %K displaced workers
