Job Mobility and Wage Dynamics
Valérie Smeets ()
Abstract: Using a dataset covering the population of Danish
private-sector
workers, I analyze the relationship between job changes
and wage
dynamics. I …nd that the number of past job changes is
positively
related to wages. This result is consistent with the idea
that workers
changing …rms end up with better matches than workers who
do not
change …rms. The main …ndings are veri…ed using the U.S. NLSY
panel
data, implying that they can not be attributed to the
peculiarities of
the Danish labor market
