The geography of job creation and job destruction
Kuhn, Moritz; Manovskii, Iourii; Qiu, Xincheng - 2021
Spatial differences in labor market performance are large and highly persistent. Using data from the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, we document striking similarities in spatial differences in unemployment, vacancies, job finding, and job filling within each country. This robust...

Nonlinearities and workers' heterogeneity in unemployment dynamics
Adjemian, Stéphane; Karamé, Frédéric; Langot, François - 2021
This study demonstrates that nonlinearities, coupled with worker heterogeneity, make it possible to reconcile the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides model with the labor market dynamics observed in the United States. Nonlinearities, induced by firings and downward real wage rigidities, magnify...

The lockdown impact on unemployment for heterogeneous workers
Kandoussi, Malak; Langot, François - 2020
We develop a multi-sectoral matching model to predict the impact of the lockdown on the US unemployment, considering the heterogeneity of workers to account for the contrasted impacts across various types of jobs. We show that separations and business closures that hit the workers with the first...

The German labor market during the Great Recession : shocks and institutions
Gehrke, Britta; Lechthaler, Wolfgang; Merkl, Christian - 2018
This paper analyzes Germany's unusual labor market experience during the Great Recession. We estimate a general equilibrium model with a detailed labor market block for post-unification Germany. This allows us to disentangle the role of institutions (short-time work, government spending rules)...

Federal unemployment reinsurance and local labor-market policies
Ignaszak, Marek; Jung, Philip; Küster, Keith - 2020
Consider a union of atomistic member states, each faced with idiosyncratic business-cycle shocks. Private cross-border risk-sharing is limited, giving a role to a federal unemployment-based transfer scheme. Member states control local labor-market policies, giving rise to a trade-off between...
