Structural Estimation of Search Intensity: Do Non-Employed Workers Search Enough?

Gautier, Pieter A.; Moraga-González, José Luis; … - Tinbergen Institute - 2007

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....

Compensation of On-call and Fixed-term Employment: the Role of Uncertainty

Graaf-Zijl, Marloes de - Tinbergen Institute - 2005

In this paper I analyse the use and compensation of fixed-term and on-call employment contracts in the Netherlands. I use an analytical framework in which wage differentials result from two types of uncertainty. Quantity uncertainty originates from imperfect foresight in future product demand. I...

Coordination Frictions and The Financial Crisis

Gautier, Pieter A. - Tinbergen Institute - 2009

In this note I argue that the desirability of fiscal policy in response to the current crisis depends on whether one views the current crisis as a temporary deviation from a unique equilibrium or as a bad equilibrium out of multiple equilibria. The paper presents a simple Diamond (1982) type of...

Strategic Wage Setting and Coordination Frictions with Multiple Applications

Gautier, Pieter A.; Moraga-González, José L. - Tinbergen Institute - 2004

where workers apply for just one job exhibits unemployment and absence of wage dispersion; (ii) an equilibrium where workers … apply for two or for more (but not for all) jobs always exhibits wage dispersion and, typically, unemployment; (iii) the … equilibrium wage distribution with a higher vacancy-to-unemployment ratio first-order stochastically dominates the wage …

On the Identification of the Costs of Simultaneous Search

Moraga-Gonzalez, Jose L.; Sandor, Zsolt; Wildenbeest, … - Tinbergen Institute - 2010

This paper studies the identification of the costs of simultaneous search in a class of (portfolio) problems studied by Chade and Smith (2006). We show that aggregate data from a single market, or disaggregate data from a single market segment, do not provide sufficient information to identify...

Regional Wage Differences in the Netherlands: Micro-Evidence on Agglomeration Externalities

Groot, Stefan P.T. de; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Smit, Martijn - Tinbergen Institute - 2011

Based on micro-data on individual workers for the period 2000-2005, we show that wage differentials in the Netherlands are small but present. A large part of these differentials can be attributed to individual characteristics of workers. Remaining effects are partially explained by variations in...
