Combining Micro and Macro Unemployment Duration Data
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Klaauw, Bas van der - Tinbergen Instituut - 1998
We combine micro and macro unemployment duration data to study the effects of the business cycle on the outflow from … unemployment. We allow the cycle to affect individual exit probabilities of unemployed workers as well as the composition of the … total inflow into unemployment. We estimate the model using (micro) survey data and (macro) administrative data from France …

The Effect of Search Frictions on Wages
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
Labor market theories allowing for search frictions make marked predictions on the effect of the degree of frictions on wages. Often, the effect is predicted to be negative. Despite the popularity of these theories, this has never been tested. We perform tests with matched worker-firm data. The...

Multiple Equilibria and Minimum Wages in Labor Markets with Informational Frictions and Heterogeneous Production Technologies
Berg, Gerard J. van den - Tinbergen Instituut - 1999
It is often argued that a mandatory minimum wage is binding only if the wage density displays a spike at it. In this paper we analyze a model with wage setting, search frictions, and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after...
