The Scarring Effects of Firm Shutdowns on Workers’ Wages: A Distributional Perspective

To shed light on the differential impact of firm shutdowns across the distribution of workers, we adopt the wage determination framework of Bonhomme, Lamadon, and Manresa (2019) to uncover workers’ unobserved types.

With the help of multi-group confirmatory analyses and ...
