We study job durations using a multivariate hazard model allowing for worker-specific and firm-specific unobserved determinants. The latter are captured by unobserved heterogeneity terms or random effects, one at the firm level and another at the worker level. This enables us to decompose the...

The results show that the presence of significant negative duration dependence in the wage offer distribution causes … reservation wages to decrease. The rate at which job offers arrive is constant over the unemployment duration. These findings …
