This paper studies the cyclical behaviour of earnings risk and career changes. We document that the procyclical skewness of the earnings growth distribution arises mostly from the earnings changes of employer and occupation switchers. To uncover their relative importance in driving cyclical...

) low-wage firms and low-wage workers are more likely to match via networks or the public agency, while high-wage firms and … high-wage workers succeed more often via job postings; (ii) job postings help firms the most in poaching and attracting … high-wage workers and help workers the most in climbing the job ladder. To evaluate the implications of these findings for …

This paper studies the extent to which the cyclicality of gross and net occupational mobility shapes that of aggregate unemployment and its duration distribution. Using the SIPP, we document the relation between workers’ (gross and net) occupational mobility and unemployment duration over the...

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous labor markets. Facing search frictions within markets and reallocation frictions between markets, workers endogenously separate from employment and endogenously reallocate between...

The model generates a simple (log) wage variance decomposition that is used to measure the importance of firm and … worker productivity differentials, frictional wage dispersion and workers' sorting dynamics. I calibrate the model using a … sample of young workers for the UK. I show that wage inequality among low skilled workers is mostly due to differences in …

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the UK labour market has been extremely heterogeneous across occupation and industrial sectors. Using novel data on job search, we document how individuals adjust their job search behaviour in response to changing employment patterns across occupations and...
