Recruitment behavior is important for the matching process in the labor market. Using unique linked survey …-administrative data, we explore the relationships between hiring and recruitment policies. Faster hiring goes along with higher search … directed search model in which firms use different recruitment margins in response to productivity shocks. The calibrated model …

In recessions, unemployment increases despite the - perhaps counterintuitive - fact that the number of unemployed workers finding jobs expands. On net, unemployment rises only because even more workers lose their jobs. We propose a theory of unemployment fluctuations resting on this...

We find that vacancy durations are negatively correlated with the starting wage and … confirm previous findings that growing establishments fill their vacancies faster.

We analyze a general search model with on-the-job search and sorting of heterogeneous workers into heterogeneous jobs. This model yields a simple relationship between (i) the unemployment rate, (ii) the value of non-market time, and (iii) the max-mean wage differential. The latter measure of...

This paper shows that the matching function and the Beveridge curve in the United States exhibit strong nonlinearities over the business cycle. These patterns can be replicated by enhancing a search and matching model with idiosyncratic productivity shocks for new contacts. Large negative...

This paper is intended to make a contribution to the empirical literature explaining the rise of unemployment since the 1970s in western economies by means of interactions between shocks and institutions. The contribution is twofold. First, the impact of a general feature of developed economies...

According to search-matching theory, the Beveridge curve slopes downward because vacancies are filled more quickly when … unemployment makes it easier to fill vacancies. Instead, there are few vacancies when unemployment is high because there is a low … inflow of new vacancies. We construct a simple model with on-the-job search and show that it is broadly consistent with the …
