Strategic Hiring Behavior in Empirical Matching Functions
Fahr, René; Sunde, Uwe - 2001
This paper makes two contributions to the empirical matching literature. First, a recent study by Anderson and Burgess (2000) testing for endogenous competition among job seekers in a matching frame-work, is replicated with a richer and more accurate data set for Germany. Their results are...
