I argue that completely ignoring distributive justice is untenable and has implications for work in empirical economics. I make the argument in three steps. (1) Empirical economists typically proceed as if the Welfare Theorems hold as a rough approximation and, so, efficiency implications of policies are separable from the notion of justice being pursued. I argue that results from empirical labour economics over the last 20 years imply that efficiency and justice are not separable and that acting as if they are is not tenable. We implicitly endorse accounts of justice in choosing what we study, how we study it, and in even our efficiency targeted policy recommendations. (2) To achieve transparency, we need to be explicit about justice concerns. I argue we can do so without sacrificing neutrality if we focus on an element of justice that is common across different specific accounts of justice, and that providing the bases of respect to all is such an element. (3) I examine the implications of a respect principle perspective for existing and potential directions for research on human capital and wage setting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102924"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148704007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using novel administrative data on STW and drawing on linked evidence from establishment surveys, I investigate the selection into STW and the scheme’s employment and deadweight effects. During the pandemic, I document a strong negative selection into STW based on measures of firm quality and productivity, a pattern not observed during the financial crisis. This selection pattern is explained by the differing types of crises and their impact on establishments. Adjusting for selection, I then investigate the employment effects of STW in the pandemic and find 3%–4% higher employment levels for firms utilizing STW. This relationship, however, vanishes quickly after firms exit STW, a result driven by outflows among STW firms being initially lower, but being higher after the end of STW. I provide suggestive back-of-the-envelope evidence that windfall effects, or deadweight losses, were substantial during the pandemic. While approximate calculations suggest that half a million job-years were saved by STW in 2020, millions of jobs were supported in total.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102919"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148704006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dataset is limited to publications indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The analysis uses bibliometric techniques and visualization tools, like <em>VOSviewer</em> and the <em>Bibliometrix</em> package in R, and covers several performance indicators including annual publications, citation metrics, productive authors, institutions & countries, topic clusters and keyword trends through time. The analysis shows that the journal’s scholarly impact has grown significantly over time. The traditional broad themes of labour economic research continue to dominate the publications with core research still focused on unemployment, employment, wages, labour supply, education and human capital. The journal’s thematic scope has broadened toward policy-relevant and interdisciplinary issues, including gender inequality, immigration, discrimination, labour market policy, and health-related labour outcomes. More recent attention to topics such as COVID-19, mental health, and peer effects further reflects this ongoing diversification. The analysis also reveals that modern research in <em>LE</em> increasingly utilizes sophisticated empirical methodologies, particularly causal identification methods such as difference-in-differences, matching and field experiments. The geographical and institutional analyses show that the intellectual production of the journal is concentrated in Europe and North America, with United States, Germany and United Kingdom, emerging as the most influential contributors. Overall, the results show that <em>LE</em> holds a competitive position among international journals in the field, with a strong focus on empirical and policy-relevant research addressing contemporary labour market issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102902"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148178495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I use the recent COVID-19 pandemic that brought an unanticipated yet lasting shift to WFH, combined with a measure of occupational WFH feasibility (Alipour et al. 2023) as a quasi-experiment to employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach and estimate causal effects. I use unique longitudinal data from the “Growing up in Germany” (AID:A) panel study, which administered a pre-pandemic wave in 2019, and a post-pandemic wave in 2023. AID:A contains rich information on mothers’ and fathers’ time use for work, commuting, childcare, and housework. I find that the most robust effects emerge for frequent (at least once a week) paternal WFH on parental division of housework: families in which fathers start weekly WFH in the period 2019 to 2023—due to their occupational WFH capacity in combination with the pandemic WFH-boost—experience a significant decrease in the maternal share of housework. Interestingly, this shift appears to be mainly driven by a reduction of maternal time use for housework (combined with an increase in her work hours) and less by an increase in paternal time use for housework, suggesting cross-parent effects of WFH. Further analysis confirms changes in paternal gender role attitudes as a plausible mechanism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 102866"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
