Inequality and Unemployment in a Global Economy (2009, neutral): “When we embed the sector in general equilibrium below, we specify conditions under which expected worker income (ω) is constant and conditions under which it changes with the other endogenous variables of the model.”
Exporters and the rise in wage inequality: Evidence from German linked employer–employee data (2013, positive): “(2)Moreover, an important finding of empirical studies based on linked employer-employee data is that the premium is only partly accounted for by differences in observable and unobservable worker characteristics (Schank et al., 2007; Munch and Skaksen, 2008; Fŕıas et al., 2009).”
International trade and firm performance: a survey of empirical studies since 2006 (2012, background): “Starting with the pioneering study by Schank et al. (2007) a number of recent empirical papers tests for the existence of these premia when observable and unobservable individual characteristics of the employees and the work place are controlled for using linked employer-employee panel data set.

Trade and Inequality: From Theory to Estimation (2012, positive): “More recent research using linked employer-employee datasets has sought to determine the sources of the exporter wage premium, including Schank, Schnabel, and Wagner (2007), Munch and Skaksen (2008), Fŕıas, Kaplan, and Verhoogen (2009), Davidson, Heyman, Matusz, Sjöholm, and Zhu (2011), Krishna,…”
Higher wages in exporting firms: self-selection, export effect, or both? First evidence from linked employer-employee data (2010, background): “1 See Munch and Skaksen (2008) for Denmark, Alcalá and Hernández (2007) for Spain, and Schank et al. (2007) for Germany.”
Selection into Trade and Wage Inequality (2014, background): “However, as discussed in the introduction, Schank, Schnabel, and Wagner (2007) show, using German data, that although the raw exporter wage premium is 36.6 percent, after controlling for observable worker characteristics, exporters paid only 2.2 percent more than nonexporters.”
Managerial Attributes and Executive Compensation (2011, neutral): “The spell approach has been used in the literature (Abowd et al., 1999, Munch and Skaksen, 2008, and Schank et al., 2007) to control the influence of manager and firm fixed effects in a manner that addresses possible omitted variable bias.”
Human Capital and Wages in Exporting Firms (2008, background): “This result is very similar to the (cid:133)ndings by Schank et al. (2006) who study a German matched worker-(cid:133)rm dataset.”
The Rise of the East and the Far East: German Labor Markets and Trade Integration (2014, background): “…according to their initial median wage, as in panels C and D, is arguably a better proxy for their productivity and export status, even though Schank et al. (2007) find only a small wage premium for German exporters and Schmillen (2011) even points out that German exporters to new EU member…”
