Do reservation wages really decline? : Some international evidence on the determinants of reservation wages

John T. Addison; Mário Centeno; Pedro Portugal

Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations on the same individual provide scant evidence of declining reservation wages. -- Reservation wages ; probability of reemployment ; unemployment benefits ; arrival rate of job offers
