Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.Abstract We explore whether immigrants are over(under)represented in poor‐quality employment. We find that, on subjective dimensions, immigrants actually have equal and sometimes superior quality jobs relative to native‐born workers. Immigrant workers perceive higher levels of managerial support and greater ability to complete work during scheduled ...

Dismissal protection and long‐term sickness absence: Evidence from a policy change
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.Abstract This paper studies whether a decline in employment protection reduces workers' long‐term sickness absences (of >6 weeks). We exploit exogenous variation from a German policy change that shifted the threshold exempting small establishments from dismissal protection from 5 to 10 workers.

Do firms with works councils prefer agreeable job applicants? A discrete choice experiment
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.Abstract Works councils in many countries are involved in dismissal procedures and may therefore invoke high hold‐up costs for firms laying off workers. To avoid these conflicts, firms with a works council may have a stronger preference for more agreeable job applicants who have a low risk of dismissal.

Leviathans and Liberation: Did Whaling Contribute to the Decline of Slavery?
International Social Science Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We test the hypothesis slavery started declining in the United States not due to fossil fuel‐driven industrialization but the exploitation of the bioenergy reserves of the world's largest animals. We predict the population in slavery in US states from 1790 to 1840 as a function of the recorded whaling harvest.

Unlocking university efficiency: a Bayesian stochastic frontier analysis
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 2620-2644, September 2025.Abstract In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Spanish public university system over the 2010–2019 period, which was particularly turbulent due to the tight budget constraints imposed on universities. To disentangle the main sources of performance change, we adopt a dynamic approach by decomposing it into efficiency change (catching up) and ...

Efficient property value estimation for single‐family homes in central Florida
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 2952-2980, September 2025.Abstract This paper proposes the use of a metafrontier efficiency analysis approach to estimate residential property values. The objective is to mitigate inefficiencies in these valuations, thereby enhancing tax revenue and fairness in tax burdens. Property features (such as acreage, living area, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, age, and pool ...

Assessing the role of spatial externalities in the survival of Italian innovative startups
Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The paper provides novel empirical evidence about the effects of spatial externalities on the survival of innovative startups in Italy. Using geocoded firm‐level data, we build micro‐geographic measures of specialization and diversity that are robust to the modifiable areal unit problem.
