Does extending unemployment benefits improve job quality?
Nekoei, Arash; Weber, Andrea - 2015
Contrary to standard search model predictions, prior studies failed to estimate a positive effect of unemployment insurance (UI) on reemployment wages. This paper estimates a positive UI wage effect exploiting an age-based regression discontinuity in Austrian administrative data. A search model...

How to improve worker-firm matching: evidence from a temporary foreign worker market
Cho, Yoonyoung; Lee, Soohyung - 2021
This paper investigates the role of worker-firm matching algorithms in accounting for early job separation rates. For … predictors for the job separation rates and propose alternative matching methods using the serial dictatorship. Our simulation … results show that alternative matching methods can substantially reduce job separation rates, suggesting a possible …

The basic intuition underlying our empirical strategy is that, in the presence of positive … (negative) assortative matching, good workers are more (less) likely to move to better firms than bad workers. Assuming that … matching is pervasive in the labor market. This result is in contrast with what we find from correlating the worker and firm …

Primum vivere... industrial change, job destruction and the geographical distribution of unemployment
Pastore, Francesco - 2013

Worker flows and labour market adjustment during the Great Recession : evidence from a large shock
Lehmann, Hartmut; Razzolini, Tiziano; Zaiceva, Anzelika - 2015
This paper analyzes how the labor market adjusts to the Great Recession. To this aim, we use the data for Latvia, a country that has experienced one of the most severe recessions in Europe and a subsequent remarkable recovery. Employing longitudinal EU SILC data and a panel data set constructed...

Search, flows, job creations and destructions
Cahuc, Pierre - 2014
This paper presents a short overview of dynamic models of labor markets with transaction costs. It shows that these models have deeply renewed the understanding of job search, job flows, job creations and destructions, unemployment and wage formation. It argues that this renewal provides a very...

Labor reallocation and demographics
Tyrowicz, Joanna; Van der Velde, Lucas - 2017
We explore data from all transition economies over nearly two decades, providing insights on the mechanisms behind labor force reallocation. We show that worker flows between jobs in different industries are rare relative to the demographic flows of youth entry and elderly exit. The same applies...
