This paper studies effects of the introduction of a new digital mass medium on reemployment of unemployed job seekers. We combine data on high-speed (broadband) internet availability at the local level with individual register data on the unemployed in Germany. We address endogeneity by exploiting technological peculiarities in the network that affected the roll-out of high-speed internet. The results show that high-speed internet improves reemployment rates after the first months of the unemployment spell. This is confirmed by complementary analysis with individual survey data suggesting that online job search leads to additional formal job interviews after a few months in unemployment.JEL Classification: J64, K42, H40, L96, C26.

“…7 To improve the consistency of the education variable in the data, I apply the imputation algorithm suggested by Fitzenberger et al (2006) 8 Prior to 2000, naturalization of non-German adults was only possible after 15 years of legal residence, and, following the principle of ius sanguinis, individuals born in Germany by non-German parents did not obtain German citizenship but the citizenship of their parents. Since 1 January 2000, naturalization of adults is possible after only eight years of legal residence in Germany and new born children are automatically granted German citizenship if their non-German parents have legally lived in Germany for at least eight years.…”

Workplace segregation is particularly pronounced in agriculture and mining, construction, and the service sector, and among low-educated workers. Ethnic minority workers are segregated not only from native workers but also from workers of other ethnic groups, but less so if they share a common language. From a dynamic perspective, for given cohorts of workers, the results show a clear pattern of assimilation, reminiscent of typical earnings assimilation profiles, with immigrants being increasingly less likely to work in segregated workplaces with time spent in the host country.JEL Classification: J61, J63, J31

Particular emphasis is given to the question of whether the amount of wage insurance depends on the nature of industrial relations. Adopting the identification strategy proposed by Guiso et al. (2005), it is shown that wage insurance is particularly apparent for individuals subject to collective wage agreements. While collective contracts alone are sufficient to fully insure workers against transitory shocks in small plants, they provide only partial insurance in medium-sized and large plants. At large employers, the joint existence of collective contracts and works councils helps to provide full insurance against transitory shocks, but provides only partial insurance against permanent shocks. This finding is consistent with the amount of insurance against permanent shocks being constrained by the possibility of considerable job losses and bankruptcy. Non-technical summary: Drawing on a large-scale German Linked EmployerEmployee data set, this paper studies the extent to which employers insure workers against firm-level shocks. Particular emphasis is given to the question of whether trade unions and works councils facilitate risk-sharing contracts between workers and firms. Given that the extent of insurance should critically depend on the frequency of the shock, we adopt the identification strategy proposed by Guiso et al. (2005), which enables us to distinguish between transitory and permanent shocks.In addressing the role of collective bargaining coverage for the amount of wage insurance, our results offer a remarkably consistent picture. Wage insurance is found to be particularly apparent for employers who are subject to collective wage agreements. Moreover, the ability of collective contracts to provide wage insurance appears to decrease with plant size. While in small plants (plant size ≤ 100 employees) collective contracts are sufficient on their own to fully insure workers against transitory shocks, they provide only partial insurance in medium-sized (100 < plant size ≤ 500) and large plants (plant size > 500). At large employers, the joint existence of c...
