摘要:Despitethe large degree of plant-specific heterogeneity in turnover patterns recently found in the grossjob and worker literature, very little is known about the sources of the heterogeneity in plant level employmentpolicies. The present paper, studies in detail the employment management policies for heterogeneous plants andfor heterogeneous labour, using a matched worker-employer data set for Norway. Within an econometricframework, I find that the job and worker flows above job changes are different processes since job destructionand reemployment separations have distinct patterns over the business cycle. The two turnover processes alsodiffer over worker types. Further, strong influences of firm and plant size on the patterns are found, as are effectsfrom wage policies, age of plants, market power and union density. Interestingly, the influence of firm size onreemployment separations disappears when the combined effect of market power and high union density ismodelled
