In September, CenTax hosted a two-day academic workshop bringing together researchers from across the world to explore how firms respond to labour supply shocks.
Across a series of insightful presentations, participants shared empirical work on worker outcomes, firm performance and adjustment, and the broader economic implications of policy changes.
Highlights from the Workshop
The programme featured a series of insightful presentations, including:
- Worker responses to immigration across firms: Evidence from Colombia – Lukas Delgado-Prieto
- Firm-level effects of tax-induced high-skilled migration – Giuseppe Ippedico

- The economic consequences of retirement: How firms respond when workers retire – Camilla Skovbo Christensen
- Workplace spillovers and welfare implications of delaying retirements – Irene Ferrari
- The labour supply curve is upward sloping: The effects of immigrant-induced demand shocks – Andreas Kostøl
- Minding your business or your child? Motherhood and the entrepreneurship gap – Valentina Rutigliano
- Childbirth and firm performance: Evidence from Norwegian entrepreneurs –Luigi Pistaferri

- Low-wage jobs, foreign-born workers, and firm performance – Bernhard Schmidpeter
- Changing the board game: Horizontal spillovers of gender quotas – Luana Zaccaria
- How do firms respond to unions? – Samuel Dodini
The workshop provided an invaluable opportunity for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss preliminary findings. The sessions reflected CenTax’s mission to foster rigorous, policy-relevant research.
We thank all presenters and participants for their thoughtful contributions and engaging discussions.
