We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

The Effect of Search Frictions on Wages

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - Tinbergen Institute - 2006

Labor market theories allowing for search frictions make marked predictions on the effect of the degree of frictions on wages. Often, the effect is predicted to be negative. Despite the popularity of these theories, this has never been tested. We perform tests with matched worker-firm data. The...

Simultaneous Search and Network Efficiency

Gautier, Pieter A.; Holzner, Christian L. - Tinbergen Institute - 2011

When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise because workers typically do not know where other workers apply to and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider. The first coordination friction affects network formation, while the second...
