The inefficient advantage of experience in the market for football managers
Peeters, Thomas; Szymanski, Stefan; Terviö, Marko - 2017
We study hiring in a labor market where worker ability can only be observed on-the-job, but quickly becomes public information after labor market entry. We show that firms in these markets have a socially inefficient incentive to hire low talented, experienced workers instead of more promising...

Education-related inequity in health care with heterogeneous reporting of health
Bago d'Uva, Teresa; Lindeboom, Maarten; O'Donnell, Owen; … - 2010
Reliance on self-rated health to proxy medical need can bias estimation of education-related inequity in health care utilisation. We correct this bias both by instrumenting self-rated health with objective health indicators and by purging self-rated health of reporting heterogeneity identified...

Wages and employment in a random social network with arbitrary degree distribution
Ioannides, Yannis M.; Soetevent, Adriaan R. - 2006
Empirical studies of labor markets show that social contacts are an important source of job-related information [Ioannides and Loury (2004)]. At the same time, wage differences among workers may be explained only in part by differences in individual background characteristics. Such findings...

Sorting and the output loss due to search frictions
Gautier, Pieter; Teulings, Coen N. - 2012
We analyze a general search model with on-the-job search and sorting of heterogeneous workers into heterogeneous jobs. This model yields a simple relationshipbetween (i) the unemployment rate, (ii) the value of non-market time, and (iii) themax-mean wage differential. The latter measure of wage...

Homeownership and labour market behaviour : interpreting the evidence
Rouwendal, Jan; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008 - This version: November 3, 2008
This paper reviews the empirical research that has been generated by Oswald’s thesis, which claims that there is a causal relationship from homeownership to unemployment. The literature confirms a decreasing effect of homeownership on geographical mobility of workers, but does not in general...
