“…Since we are interested in examining the impact of the crisis and whether or not firms that employed more women experienced proportionately more employment losses, we interact the explanatory variables with a crisis dummy. In addition, following Christev and Fitzroy () we impose the constraint that

{italicα}_{O_{t}} = 0

to avoid multicollinearity and separate firm characteristics into the gender composition of the workforce f and other firm characteristics X . To examine whether or not workers in firms that employ more women are more likely to be laid off, we thus estimate the change in labor demand, separately for blue‐collar and for white‐collar workers, using the following autoregressive distributed lag specification:

\begin{matrix} Δ ln L_{i t} = \\ {italicβ}_{Δ Y_{t}} Δ ln Y_{i t} + {italicβ}_{C r i s i s_{t} Δ Y_{t}} C r i s i s_{t} * Δ ln Y_{i t} + {italicβ}_{Y_{t - 1}} ln Y_{i t - 1} + {italicβ}_{C r i s i s_{t} Y_{t - 1}} C r i s i s_{t} * ln Y_{i t - 1} \\ + {italicβ}_{Δ W_{t}} Δ ln W_{i t} + {italicβ}_{C r i s i s_{t} * Δ W_{t}} C r i s i s_{t} * Δ ln W_{i t} + {italicβ}_{W_{t - 1}} ln W_{i t - 1} \\ + {italicβ}_{C r i s i s_{t} * W_{t - 1}} C r i s i s_{t} * ln W_{i t - 1} + {italicβ}_{f_{i t - 1}} f_{i t - 1} + {italicβ}_{C r} \end{matrix}

“… A handful of studies have examined firm‐level employment and wage adjustment in the context of transition from state‐controlled towards market‐oriented economies (see Christev and Fitzroy, ; Basu et al., ; Haltiwanger and Vodopivec, ; Rama, ) and in the context of trade liberalization (Revenga, ). However, the analyses are not disaggregated by gender and/or do not encompass a crisis period. …”

Do Employers' Responses to Crises Impact Men and Women Differently? Firm‐level Evidence from Indonesia

Do employers' responses to crises impact men and women differently? Using manufacturing census data from Indonesia this paper assesses gender differences in the impact of the East Asian crisis and to what extent these were due to differential treatment of men and women within firms and gender sorting across firms that varied in their exposure to the crisis. On average, women experienced higher job losses than their male colleagues within the same firm. However, the aggregate adverse effect of such differential treatment was more than offset by women being disproportionately employed in firms hit relatively less hard by the crisis. The null hypothesis that there were no gender differences in wage adjustment is not rejected.

“…This two-stage procedure has also been used for estimation in this paper. Following many authors [Arrelano and Bond (1991); Blundell and Bond (1998) ;Blundell, et al (2000); Bond and Windmeijer (2001); Hay (2001); Bond (2002); Bond and Windmeijer (2002); Christev and Fitzroy (2002) amongst others], time dummies have also been used to adequately reflect and control for the internal and external shocks to the economy. They have been used in both the first and second stages of estimation.…”

Impact of Privatisation on Employment and Output in Pakistan

The paper aims to assess the impact of privatisation on employment and output in Pakistan. It uses edible oil and cement sectors as a case study in a pre- and post-privatisation comparative framework. Assessing the impact of privatisation in Pakistan is important at this juncture for two reasons. Firstly, the country is facing a severe economic crisis and privatisation forms an integral part of an array of reform measures recommended by multi-lateral donors as well as policy-makers within and without the country. Burki [(2000), p. 152] observes, “The economy and state of Pakistan are in crisis…. Pakistan has not faced a crisis of this magnitude in its entire 50-year history”. He refers to the five different crises that have combined to create this situation. These are: the global financial crisis, Pakistan’s short-term liquidity problem, economy’s structural weaknesses, severe social backwardness, and, finally, the crisis of governance. Burki (2000) suggests several solutions to the problems, and privatisation is one of the ways to restructure the economy and improve the quality of governance.

“…Issues of employment change and asymmetry have been neglected in previous work based on the simple static or long-run ESWE and cross-sectional data. 1 Expanding firms generally prefer to hire younger workers at most levels, who require lower pay (owing in part to lower seniority benefits) and offer greater flexibility and returns to training and experience. While we have not found any data on hiring-age to support this, the anecdotal evidence is very strong.…”

French establishments to test some implications of the modern theory of dynamic monopsony or upward sloping labour supply curves for average firm wages. Panel estimates provide strong evidence of a much larger long run employer size -wage effect (ESWE) than found previously, while controlling for worker quality and compensating differentials with lagged wages, and for profitability (rent sharing). Employment expansion also has a positive effect on wages, providing further evidence for upward sloping labour supply (as distinct from the effect of shocks in a perfectly competitive labour market).
