RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The sources of the wage losses of displaced workers: the role of the reallocation of workers into firms, matches, and job titles JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 0317-8667R3 DO 10.3368/jhr.56.3.0317-8667R3 A1 Pedro Raposo A1 Pedro Portugal A1 Anabela Carneiro YR 2019 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/early/2019/09/10/jhr.56.3.0317-8667R3.abstract AB This paper evaluates the sources of wage losses of workers displaced due to firm closure based on the comparison of workers' wages before and after displacement. We decompose the sources of the wage losses into the contribution of firm, match quality, and job title fixed effects. Sorting into lower paying job titles represents the largest component of the monthly wage loss of displaced workers, accounting for 37 percent of the total average monthly wage loss compared to 31 percent for the firm and 32 percent for the match effects. With respect to the hourly wage losses, job title effects account for 46 percent of the total loss, while firm and match effects contribute in equal shares representing each 27 percent of the loss.
