Linguistic proximity and workplace productivity.
Vis sammendrag
We study the importance of linguistic diversity in the workplace for workplace productivity. While cultural diversity might improve productivity through new ideas and innovation, linguistic diversity might increase communication costs and thereby reduce productivity. We apply a new measure of languages’ linguistic proximity to Norwegian linked employer-employee Manufacturing data from 2001-12, and find that higher workforce linguistic proximity increases total factor productivity. We find a positive effect also when we take into account the impact of cultural diversity and the improvement of proficiency in Norwegian of foreign workers since their time of arrival in Norway.

Økning i sykefravær kan bli en ond sirkel på en arbeidsplass. På samme måte kan vellykkede tiltak for å redusere sykefraværet også blir selvforsterkende. Fastlegen kan ha en kjempeviktig rolle i dette.

Sykelønnskutt vil trolig ramme svake grupper hardere enn mer attraktive arbeidstakere. Dermed kan kutt i sykelønna bidra til økte ulikheter i samfunnet.

Wages, Creative Destruction, and Union Networks.
Vis sammendrag
Do unions promote creative destruction? In this paper we apply a shift-share approach and historical unionisation data from 1918 to study the impact of changes in regional unionisation on regional wage and productivity growth and job creation and destruction during the period 2003-2012. As local regional-industrial unionisation increases, wages grow. Lay-offs through plant closure and shrinking workplaces increase, but entry and new hires are unaffected. Overall, the increased unionisation yields a positive impact on regional productivity, exceeding the wage growth, partly due to the closure of less productive firms, but also enhanced productivity of the survivors and new entrants.

Do NDC pensions increase labour supply? Evidence from the Norwegian pension reform.
Vis sammendrag
Over the last decades a number of countries have replacing traditional social insurance schemes with Notional Defined Contribution (NDC) schemes in efforts to improve the economic sustainability of national pension systems. NDC-schemes ensure a direct and highly transparent link between lifetime earnings/contributions and expected old age benefits. This link is in turn assumed to have significant positive effect on labour supply over the entire adult, pre-retirement life course. It allows pension contributions to be viewed as a form of forced savings, and therefore they should not contribute to the tax wedge for individuals who care about their income situation in retirement. In this paper we utilize the variation caused by the Norwegian pension reform of 2011 to look for evidence of labour supply responses to the new closer and more transparent link between earnings and pension-rights. The reformed system operates with a ceiling on the accrual of pension rights at annual earnings equal to NOK 640,000 which corresponds to roughly 1.3 times the average full-time wage. Due to the ceiling, the marginal accrual of pension rights in the new system is abruptly reduced from 18.1 percent to zero at this point on the earnings-schedule. If individuals are forward-looking and have a subjective discount rate equal to the implicit rate of return in the pension system, the ceiling should have an equivalent effect of a hike in the marginal tax-rate of 18.1 percent. We follow the standard approaches from research on the effects of taxation (ETI-approach) and use this non-linearity in the (implicit) tax-schedule to look for traces of behavioural responses to the new system of pension accrual. We apply both standard IV regression techniques as well as a RD-design. The analysis is based on register data covering the entire population of wage earners during the period 2008- 2013 with annual earnings above the average full time wage. Our conclusions are mixed. While we observe that the labour supply of both men and women are sensitive to changes in compound marginal tax rates, we find no bunching around the kink point at the social security ceiling and only weak evidence of reduced earnings growth in the interval just above the ceiling after 2011.
