Labor Market Flows in the Cross Section and Over Time

Davis, Steven; Haltiwanger, John; Faberman, Jason - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2011

Many theoretical models of labor market search imply a tight link between worker flows (hires and separations) and job gains and losses at the employer level. Partly motivated by these theories, we exploit establishment-level data from U.S. sources to study the relationship between worker flows...

Labor Market Fluidity and Economic Performance

Davis, Steven; Haltiwanger, John - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2014

U.S. labor markets became much less fluid in recent decades. Job reallocation rates fell more than a quarter after 1990, and worker reallocation rates fell more than a quarter after 2000. The declines cut across states, industries and demographic groups defined by age, gender and education....

Foster, Lucia Smith; Haltiwanger, John; Grim, Cheryl - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2014

The high pace of reallocation across producers is pervasive in the U.S. economy. Evidence shows this high pace of reallocation is closely linked to productivity. While these patterns hold on average, the extent to which the reallocation dynamics in recessions are "cleansing" is an open question....

The Establishment-Level Behavior of Vacancies and Hiring

Davis, Steven; Haltiwanger, John; Faberman, R. Jason - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2010

This paper is the first to study vacancies, hires, and vacancy yields at the establishment level in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, a large sample of U.S. employers. To interpret the data, we develop a simple model that identifies the flow of new vacancies and the job-filling rate...

This paper studies quarterly employment flows of approximately 10,000 large U.S. manufacturing establishments during 1972:1-1980:4.After estimating the extent of short run microeconomic substitution between employment and hours per worker (hours-week), we construct measures of the path of the...
