This paper explores how the introduction of an experience rated system of unemployment insurance affects employment and welfare in a model where implicit contracts between firms and workers give rise to wage rigidities and unemployment. In the literature, it has been argued that experience rated...

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 …

This paper quantifies how the local skill remoteness of a laid-off worker's last job affects subsequent wages, employment, and mobility rates. Local skill remoteness captures the degree of dissimilarity between the skill profiles of the worker's last job and all other jobs in a local labor...

We investigate a prevalent, but understudied, employment protection policy: mandatory advance notice (MN), requiring employers to notify employees of forthcoming layoffs. MN increases future production, as notified workers search on the job, but reduces current production as they supply less...

The use of social contacts in the labor market is widespread. This paper investigates the impact of personal connections on hiring probabilities and re-employment outcomes of displaced workers in Portugal. We rely on rich matched employer-employee data to define personal connections that arise...

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...

This paper studies collective contests with endogenous cost sharing, general effort costs and intra-group heterogeneity of prize-valuation. Our objective is to clarify the relationship between cost sharing, intra-group heterogeneity within the competing groups and the elasticity of the marginal...

This paper explores the impact of undocumented as opposed to documented immigration in a model featuring search frictions and non-random hiring that is consistent with novel empirical evidence presented. In this framework, undocumented immigrants' wages are the lowest of all workers due to their...
