Measuring Heterogeneity in Job Finding Rates Among the Nonemployed Using Labor Force Status Histories

Kudlyak, Marianna; Lange, Fabian - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014

We use a novel approach to studying the heterogeneity in the job finding rates of the nonemployed by classifying the nonemployed by labor force status (LFS) histories, instead of using only one-month LFS. Job finding rates differ substantially across LFS histories: they are 25-30% among those...

Unemployment and Endogenous Reallocation over the Business Cycle

Carrillo-Tudela, Carlos; Visschers, Ludo - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous … countercyclical unemployment, and is simultaneously consistent with procyclical reallocation, countercyclical separations and a … negatively-sloped Beveridge curve. Moreover, the model exhibits unemployment duration dependence, which (when calibrated to long …

Separations, Sorting and Cyclical Unemployment

Mueller, Andreas I. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012

This paper establishes a new fact about the compositional changes in the pool of unemployed over the U.S. business cycle and evaluates a number of theories that can potentially explain it. Using micro-data from the Current Population Survey for the years 1962-2011, it documents that in...

An Incentive Theory of Matching

Brown, Alessio J. G.; Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009

This paper presents a theory explaining the labor market matching process through microeconomic incentives. There are heterogeneous variations in the characteristics of workers and jobs, and firms face adjustment costs in responding to these variations. Matches and separations are described...

Employee Referrals and Efficiency Wages

Kugler, Adriana D. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2002

Many workers believe that personal contacts are crucial for obtaining jobs in high-wage sectors. On the other hand, firms in high-wage sectors report using employee referrals because they help provide screening and monitoring of new employees. This paper develops a matching model that can...

Hiring and Firing Costs, Adverse Selection and Long-term Unemployment

Kugler, Adriana D.; Saint-Paul, Gilles - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2000

In this paper, we present a matching model with adverse selection that explains why flows into and out of unemployment …

Disaggregate Matching Functions

Fahr, René; Sunde, Uwe - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2001

This paper deals with empirical matching functions. The paper is innovative in several ways. First, unlike in most of the existing literature, matching functions are estimated not only on aggregate, but also on disaggregate levels which is unusual due to the scarcity of appropriate data....
