Abstract: Using a dataset covering the population of Danish private-sector
workers, I analyze the relationship between job changes and wage
dynamics. I …nd that the number of past job changes is positively
related to wages. This result is consistent with the idea that workers
changing …rms end up with better matches than workers who do not
change …rms. The main …ndings are veri…ed using the U.S. NLSY panel
data, implying that they can not be attributed to the peculiarities of
the Danish labor market
Keywords: Worker turnover; wages; matching; human capital; matched employer-employee data
