Information frictions and labor market outcomes
Cardoso, Ana Rute; Loviglio, Annalisa; Piemontese, Lavinia - 2015
We analyze the impact of information frictions on workers' wages, contributing to the literature that tested search theory, which has so far focused on labor market frictions in general and not specifically on information asymmetries. Using data for 16 countries from the European Social Survey...

The intended and unintended effects of promoting labor market mobility
Caliendo, Marco; Künn, Steffen; Mahlstedt, Robert - 2022
Subsidizing the geographical mobility of unemployed workers may improve welfare by relaxing their financial constraints and allowing them to find jobs in more prosperous regions. We exploit regional variation in the promotion of mobility programs along administrative borders of German employment...

How broadband internet affects labor market matching
Bhuller, Manudeep; Kostøl, Andreas Ravndal; Vigtel, … - 2020
How the internet affects job matching is not well understood due to a lack of data on job vacancies and quasi-experimental variation in internet use. This paper helps fill this gap using plausibly exogenous roll-out of broadband infrastructure in Norway, and comprehensive data on recruiters,...

Identification of search models with initial condition problems
Barlevy, Gadi (contributor);  … - 2006
This paper extends previous work on the identification of search models in which observed worker productivity is imperfectly observed. In particular, it establishes that these models remain identified even when employment histories are left-censored (i.e. we do not get to follow workers from...

Efficiency and labor market dynamics in a model of labor selection
Chugh, Sanjay K.; Merkl, Christian - 2015
This paper characterizes efficient labor-market allocations in a labor selection model. The model's crucial aspect is cross-sectional heterogeneity for new job contacts, which leads to an endogenous selection threshold for new hires. With cross-sectional dispersion calibrated to microeconomic...
