Profile for Marissa Eckrote-Nordland

Marissa Eckrote-Nordland, Economics, co-authored the article "Pension Reforms and Personnel Decisions" in "Labour" published on Feb. 25 by Wiley. Eckrote-Nordland and her coauthors use a unique dataset of employment records in Germany to determine if pension reforms in the country that may be costly for employers led employers to decrease hiring or downsize their workforce. While they find that firms with larger shares of older workers tended to decrease hiring, the overall effects on downsizing in the country are very small and statistically insignificant.
