The objective of this paper is to study equilibrium in a labour market, in which workers search on the job and firms … arise purely from firms' optimal response to labour market competition brought about by workers' on-the-job search. We …

Labour market analysis places much emphasis on the concept of search. But there is insufficient empirical information … on (a) the relationship between reported search and job-finding and (b) how search behaviour changes over a spell without … classification of "unemployment" and "out of the labour force". Transitions during joblessness in and out of search and the various …

This study develops an on-the-job search model involving spatial structure. In this model, workers are either employed … and commute frequently to a central business district (CBD) or unemployed and commute less frequently to the CBD in search … of jobs. When an unemployed worker succeeds in off-the-job search, the quality of the job match is determined …

widely-applicable description of firms' behavior in labor markets. In Manning's view, search frictions in the labor market …

be attributed to unobserved components in those characteristics. An assignment model with search frictions provides a …. The impact of search frictions on wages is large. Our results relate to the literature on industry wage differentials, on … structural identification in hedonic models, and on wage posting versus Nash bargaining in search models. …

This paper examines competitive search equilibrium when workers' effort choice and 'type' are private information. We …

This paper discusses the interrelations among wealth, reservation wages and search effort. A theoretical job search … model predicts wealth to affect reservation wages positively, and search effort negatively. Subsequently, reduced form … equations for reservation wages and search intensity take these theoretical results to the data. The data used is a Dutch panel …
