Structural Estimation of Search Intensity: Do Non-Employed Workers Search Enough?

Gautier, Pieter A.; Moraga-González, José Luis; … - Tinbergen Institute - 2007

We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

Coordination Frictions and The Financial Crisis

Gautier, Pieter A. - Tinbergen Institute - 2009

In this note I argue that the desirability of fiscal policy in response to the current crisis depends on whether one views the current crisis as a temporary deviation from a unique equilibrium or as a bad equilibrium out of multiple equilibria. The paper presents a simple Diamond (1982) type of...

Simultaneous Search and Network Efficiency

Gautier, Pieter A.; Holzner, Christian L. - Tinbergen Institute - 2011

When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise because workers typically do not know where other workers apply to and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider. The first coordination friction affects network formation, while the second...

Matching with Multiple Applications

Albrecht, James W.; Gautier, Pieter A.; Vroman, Susan B. - Tinbergen Institute - 2001

We analyze the implications of multiple applications by job seekers for the microfoundations of the matching function. We emphasize a coordination failure caused by multiple applications, namely, that firms can waste resources processing applicants who are ultimately hired elsewhere.

Simultaneous Search with Heterogeneous Firms and Ex Post Competition

Gautier, Pieter A.; Wolthoff, Ronald P. - Tinbergen Institute - 2006

In this paper we study the allocation of workers over high and low productivity firms in a labor market with coordination frictions. Specifically, we consider a search model where workers can apply to high and or low productivity firms. Firms that compete for the same candidate can increase...
