Labor Market Flows in the Cross Section and Over Time

Davis, Steven; Haltiwanger, John; Faberman, Jason - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2011

Many theoretical models of labor market search imply a tight link between worker flows (hires and separations) and job gains and losses at the employer level. Partly motivated by these theories, we exploit establishment-level data from U.S. sources to study the relationship between worker flows...
