We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous … countercyclical unemployment, and is simultaneously consistent with procyclical reallocation, countercyclical separations and a … negatively-sloped Beveridge curve. Moreover, the model exhibits unemployment duration dependence, which (when calibrated to long …

The job search literature suggests that on-the-job search reduces the probability of unemployed people finding a job. However, there is little evidence that employed and unemployed job seekers are similar or apply for the same jobs. We compare employed and unemployed job seekers in terms of...

In this paper we study the separate effects of unemployment and job displace- ment on fertility in a sample of white … collar women in Austria. Using an instru- mental variables approach we show that unemployment incidence as such has no … so irrespective of the incidence or the duration of the associated unemployment spell. …
