This paper shows that a search and matching model with idiosyncratic training cost shocks can explain the asymmetric … movement of the job-finding rate over the business cycle and the decline of matching efficiency in recessions. Large negative … hiring cutoff in the distribution is disciplined by the empirical elasticity of the job-finding rate with respect to market …
