Business cycle asymmetries and the labor market
Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian - 2016
This paper shows that the matching function and the Beveridge curve in the United States exhibit strong nonlinearities over the business cycle. These patterns can be replicated by enhancing a search and matching model with idiosyncratic productivity shocks for new contacts. Large negative...

How cyclical is the user cost of labor?
Kudlyak, Marianna - 2024
In employment relationships, a wage is an installment payment on an implicit long-term agreement between a worker and a firm. The price of labor that impacts firm's hiring decisions, instead, reflects the hiring wage as well as the impact of economic conditions at the time of hiring on future...

Revisiting the matching function
Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian; Nordmeier, Daniela - 2014
This paper shows analytically and numerically that there are two ways of generating an observationally equivalent comovement between matches, unemployment, and vacancies in dynamic labor market models: either by assuming a standard Cobb-Douglas contact function or by combining a degenerate...

Labor market dynamics with sorting
Schulz, Bastian - 2023
I study a dynamic search-matching model with two-sided heterogeneity, a production complementarity that induces labor market sorting, and aggregate shocks. In response to a positive productivity shock, incentives to sort increase disproportionately. Firms respond by posting additional vacancies,...

Endogenous labor market participation and the business cycle
Häfke, Christian (contributor); Reiter, Michael (contributor) - 2006
Existing models of equilibrium unemployment with endogenous labor market participation are complex, generate procyclical unemployment rates and cannot match unemployment variability relative to GDP. We embed endogenous participation in a simple, tractable job market matching model, show...

Wage cyclicalities and labor market dynamics at the establishment level : theory and evidence
Merkl, Christian; Stüber, Heiko - 2017
Using the new AWFP dataset that covers all German establishments, we document a substantial cross-sectional heterogeneity of establishments' average real wages over the business cycle. While the median establishments' real wages are procyclical, there is a large fraction of establishments with...
