“…Real aggregate market dynamics (ITAEE) is positive and directly correlated. Results are consistent in all localities and in non-metropolitan areas, as in Gosh ( 2009), Chiang, Tao and Wong (2015), and Klinger and Weber (2015).…”

We study the effects of homicide and kidnapping rates on firms' employment losses, identifying metropolitan and non-metropolitan localities in Mexico. We use a panel dataset for 32 sub-national states organized on a quarterly basis over the period 2011:Q1-2016:Q4, decomposed by locality population size and firm workforce size, including self-employment, micro, small, medium and large firms. Our results indicate that crime has a negative impact on employment across all localities but has a robust negative effect on employment in micro and small firms in metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas. An increase of one standard deviation (SD) in the homicide rate in each locality destroys 319,542 jobs countrywide, while an equivalent increase in kidnapping implies a loss of 560,705 jobs. On including in the analysis locality population size in the considered dimensions, this increase in homicide implies a reduction of 181,988 and 99,184 jobs in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, whereas for an equivalent increase in kidnapping the losses are 387,547 and 256,969 jobs, conditional on their respective model. Our results provide evidence of the heterogeneous damage of crime to employment, conditional on firm´s location and workforce size.

“…It is widely recognized that the decoupling of GDP growth from resource use and emissions is important to meet the global climate change and sustainable development challenges. According to Klinger and Weber (2020), the evidence of Germany shows that the decoupling of GDP and employment depends on the structural changes of economic system and the growing importance of service sector. Nevertheless, the decoupling of GVA growth from labour force in agriculture, where the share of employment in the structure of economy used to have a historically important role, has both negative and positive aftermaths.…”

Over the recent decades, the evolution of the European Union (EU) agricultural system has resulted in significant structural changes in member states. Knowledge about the nature and main patterns of structural change is critical to select a sustainable development path for the EU agriculture. This paper contributes to the academic discourse on structural changes in agriculture demonstrating the nexus between socioeconomic and environmental aspects of development. In this regard, results are important to understand the contribution of the EU agriculture to climate change, because study deals with energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The research covers period from 2008 to 2018 and investigates the fundamental structural change measures, namely, gross value added, labour and agriculture-related energy emissions, in EU member states. Structural changes are investigated applying a shift-share analysis that allows calculating a performance of individual member states, compared to the EU economy. The applied shift-share model investigates the situation of individual member states employing three components. The first component tracks the development of the selected measures with the EU economy growth, the second component shows the change due to effect of economic activities and the third shows competitiveness of agriculture in member states. The shift-share analysis empowers ranking member states in accordance with their progress towards the sustainable development. Findings suggest that EU economy faces the outflow of labour from agriculture and this trend is common for most countries. The changes of gross value added and emissions for fuel combustion demonstrate both upward and downward trends. However, research results suggest that new member states often face more fundamental changes.

“…First, it needs to be addressed whether “cycle” means the business cycle or the labour market cycle. Beyond the fact that the latter usually lags the former, Klinger and Weber [ 13 ], for instance, document a sizeable decoupling between business cycle and the labour market in Germany, especially so during the last decade. To cover both, gross domestic product ( GDP ) and labour market tightness ( ), defined as number of vacancies divided by the number of unemployed, are used.…”

This paper exploits big data on online activity from the job exchange of the German Federal Employment Agency and its internal placement-software to generate measures for search activity of employers and job seekers and—as a novel feature—for placement activity of employment agencies. In addition, the average search perimeter in the job seekers’ search profiles can be measured. The data are used to estimate the behaviour of the search and placement activities during the business and labour market cycle and their seasonal patterns. The results show that the search activities of firms and employment agencies are procyclical. By contrast, job seekers’ search intensity shows a countercyclical pattern, at least before the COVID-19 crisis.
