<h3>Labor Choice</h3>
<p>In 2017, Shimer coauthored a paper entitled, "High Wage Workers Work for High Wage Firms."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> The working paper sought to measure the correlation between worker quality and firm wage rates.  Using Austrian administrative data, he found a correlation between worker and firm types of 0.4 to 0.6.  This implies a contradiction to previous work which found no correlation between types.
