This study assesses the effects of education on both job search intensity and re-employment success for unemployed … workers. Given that the positive correlation between education and job search intensity or re-employment success is likely to … that education both significantly increases job search intensity and significantly improves re-employment success for the …

measured by the number of youth not in employment, education or training (NEET) in percent of the total youth population. Korea … education and vocational training systems that emphasise middle level and market oriented skills are identified as institutional …By conventional statistics, youth unemployment seems to be quite moderate in Korea: ‘only’ 9.6 percent of the ‘active …

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous … labor markets. Facing search frictions within markets and reallocation frictions between markets, workers endogenously … countercyclical unemployment, and is simultaneously consistent with procyclical reallocation, countercyclical separations and a …

This paper revisits the normative properties of search-matching economies when homogeneous workers have concave utility … and second when search effort is not observable. To decentralize these optima, employees should be unable to extract a … optima, non-linear income taxation is a key complement to unemployment insurance. According to the level of the workers …

In a two-sector, general-equilibrium model with labor-market search frictions, we find that wage increases and sectoral … unemployment decreases upon offshoring in the presence of perfect intersectoral labor mobility. If, as a result, labor moves to the … sector with the lower (or equal) vacancy costs, there is an unambiguous decrease in economywide unemployment. With imperfect …

Unemployment may depend on equilibrium in other markets than the labor markets. This paper adresses this old idea by … introducing search frictions on several markets: in a model of credit and labor market imperfections as in Wasmer and Weil (2004 …), I further introduce search on the goods market. The model can be solved by blocks: on two of the three markets, the …

We analyze a general search model with on-the-job search and sorting of heterogeneous workers into heterogeneous jobs …. This model yields a simple relationship between (i) the unemployment rate, (ii) the value of non-market time, and (iii) the … and allow for measurement error. The estimated wage dispersion and mismatch for the US is consistent with an unemployment …
