Does Extending Unemployment Benefits Improve Job Quality?

Nekoei, Arash; Weber, Andrea - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2015

Contrary to standard search model predictions, prior studies failed to estimate a positive effect of unemployment insurance (UI) on reemployment wages. This paper estimates a positive UI wage effect exploiting an age-based regression discontinuity in Austrian administrative data. A search model...

Multiple Equilibria and Minimum Wages in Labor Markets with Informational Frictions and Heterogeneous Production Technologies

den Berg, Gerard J. van - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003

It is often argued that a mandatory minimum wage is binding only if the wage density displays a spike at it. In this paper we analyze a model with search frictions and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after imposition, the...

Measuring Labor Market Frictions: A Cross-Country Comparison

Ridder, Geert; den Berg, Gerard J. van - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003

In this paper we define and estimate measures of labor market frictions using data on job durations. We compare different estimation methods and different types of data. We propose and apply an unconditional inference method that can be applied to aggregate duration data. It does not require...

Manacorda, Marco; Manning, Alan; Wadsworth, Jonathan - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006

the wages of native-born workers in the UK have failed to find any significant effect. This is something of a puzzle since Card and Lemieux, (2001) have shown that changes in the relative supply of educated natives do seem to have measurable effects on the wage structure. This paper offers a...

Better Workers Move to Better Firms: A Simple Test to Identify Sorting

Bartolucci, Cristian; Devicienti, Francesco - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

We propose a simple test that uses information on workers' mobility, wages and firms' profits to identify the sign and strength of assortative matching. The basic intuition underlying our empirical strategy is that, in the presence of positive (negative) assortative matching, good workers are...

This paper surveys the existing empirical research that uses search theory to empirically analyze labor supply questions in a structural framework, using data on individual labor market transitions and durations, wages, and individual characteristics. The starting points of the literature are...
