The ‘new firm paradigm’ and the provision of training: The impact of ICT, workplace organization and human capital
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 148 - Trang 557-595 - 2012
The paper analyzes the relevance of the three constituent elements of the ‘new firm paradigm’, i.e. ICT, workplace organization and human capital, as determinants of a firm’s provision of training. We concentrate on apprenticeship training, which in German-speaking countries is a widespread practice of skill formation. Econometric studies dealing with a firm’s provision of apprenticeships so far d...... hiện toàn bộ
An analysis of technical efficiency and efficiency factors for Austrian and Swiss non-profit theatres
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 147 - Trang 233-274 - 2011
This article explores the measurement of the production technology and efficiency of the performing arts sector. The stochastic frontier analysis has been used to estimate the technical efficiency scores for 20 Austrian and 30 Swiss non-profit theatres over 36 and 26 years, respectively. The number of visitors and tickets on offer are considered as two alternative measures of artistic output. The ...... hiện toàn bộ
Blacking out
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 156 - Trang 1-10 - 2020
The partial shutdown of the economy following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the lack of measurements of economic activity that are available with a short lag and at high frequency. The consumption of electricity turns out to be a valuable proxy, if it is corrected for influences from calendar and weather. Indeed, this proxy suggests that we are currently facing one of the d...... hiện toàn bộ
Regime-dependent drivers of the EUR/CHF exchange rate
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 159 - Trang 1-18 - 2023
We analyze drivers of the EUR/CHF exchange rate in different regimes between 2000 and 2020. Structural breaks between these subperiods are estimated in an integrated way together with the drivers that are relevant during these subperiods. Overall, the main drivers of the exchange rate include European equity and volatility indices, interest rate and term structure slope differentials, as well as m...... hiện toàn bộ
Gender effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Swiss labor marketAbstract We study the impact of the pandemic on gender gaps in labor market outcomes in Switzerland. Using the Swiss Labor Force Survey data, we document a significant increase in the gender gap in labor market participation.

What Goliaths and Davids among Swiss firms tell us about expected returns on Swiss asset markets
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 155 - Trang 1-17 - 2019
Motivated by recent US evidence, we evaluate the predictive power of changes in the weight of large firms in the aggregate stock market (“Goliath vs David” (GVD)) for Swiss stock market returns and bond market returns. Previous research suggests that the asset return dynamics in the US and Switzerland differ markedly. Forecasting Swiss asset returns hence constitutes a challenging “out-of-sample” ...... hiện toàn bộ
Decomposition of the Gender Wage Gap Using Matching: An Application for Switzerland
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 143 - Trang 365-396 - 2007
In this paper, we investigate the gender wage differentials for Switzerland. Using micro data from the Swiss Labour Force Survey, we apply a matching method to decompose the wage gap in Switzerland. This nonparametric technique accounts for wage differences that can be due to differences in the supports. We can interpret these differences as a form of “discrimination” which is reflected in wages b...... hiện toàn bộ

Does ICT affect the demand for vocationally educated workers?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 158 - Trang 1-22 - 2022
This paper examines the effect of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the demand for workers in Switzerland. We compare the hypotheses that an increase in ICT leads to upskilling or job polarization and investigate their implications for countries where vocational education and training (VET) is the most widespread education program at the upper secondary level. Using data from a l...... hiện toàn bộ
