Search Theory and Commuting Behavior

Rouwendal, Jan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004

In this paper I argue that search theory is a useful addition to the way economists and geographers have approached the study of commuting behavior. This is illustrated by showing that introduction of a spatial element into the standard model of job search leads to the prediction of critical...

Models as Measuring Instruments

Rodenburg, Peter - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004

Nancy Cartwright views models as blueprints for nomological machines - machines which, if properly shielded, generate lawlike behaviour or regularities. Marcel Boumans has argued that we can look for devices inside models which enable us to measure aspects of these regularities. So, if models do...

Labor Market Dynamics and Technology Adoption: Theory and Empirical Evidence

Alexiadis, Stilianos; Eleftheriou, Konstantinos; … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2011

Using 'search' theory, technology adoption is conceived of as a critical factor in the aftermath of a technological shock, which increases employment in the leading sectors and total output in the economy. These implications are further investigated in the present paper, both formally and...

Market Power in Bilateral Oligopoly Markets with Nonexpandable Infrastructures

Funaki, Yukihiko; Houba, Harold; Motchenkova, Evgenia - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

We consider price-fee competition in bilateral oligopolies with perfectly-divisible goods, non-expandable infrastructures, concentrated agents on both sides, and constant marginal costs. We define and characterize stable market outcomes. Buyers exclusively trade with the supplier with whom they...

Equilibrium Directed Search with Multiple Applications

Albrecht, James; Gautier, Pieter; Vroman, Susan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2003

We analyse a model of equilibrium directed search in a large labour market. Each worker, observing the wages posted at all vacancies, makes a fixed, finite number of applications, a. We allow for the possibility of ex post competition should more than one vacancy want to hire the same worker....
