Labor Market Networks and Recovery from Mass Layoffs Before, During, and After the Great Recession
Hellerstein, Judith K.; Kutzbach, Mark J.; Neumark, David - 2016
We measure the impact of labor market referral networks defined by residential neighborhoods on re-employment following … mass layoffs. Because networks can only be effective when hiring is occurring, we focus on a measure of the strength of the … strength that try to disentangle the mechanism by which networks operate – either by conveying information to job seekers about …

Wage dispersion and wage dynamics within and across firms
Carrillo-Tudela, Carlos; Smith, Eric - 2009
This paper examines wage dispersion and wage dynamics in a stock-flow matching economy with on-the-job search. Under stock-flow matching, job seekers immediately become fully informed about the stock of viable vacancies. If only one option is available, monopsony wages result. With more than one...

Life-cycle patterns in male/female differences in job search
Kunze, Astrid; Troske, Kenneth R. - 2009
We investigate whether women search longer for a job than men and whether these differences change over the life cycle. Our empirical analysis exploits German register data on highly attached displaced workers. We apply duration models to analyze gender differences in job search taking into...

On-the-Job Search in a Matching Model with Heterogenous Jobs and Workers
Dolado, Juan José; Jansen, Marcel; Jimeno, Juan F. - 2003
This paper considers a matching model with heterogenous jobs (unskilled and skilled) and workers (low and high-educated) which allows for on-the-job search by mismatched workers. The latter are high-educated workers who transitorily accept unskilled jobs and continue to search for skilled jobs....

How local are labor markets? Evidence from a spatial job search model
Manning, Alan; Petrongolo, Barbara - 2011
This paper uses data on very small UK geographies to investigate the effective size of local labor markets. Our approach treats geographic space as continuous, as opposed to a collection of non-overlapping administrative units, thus avoiding problems of mismeasurement of local labor markets...

Job search, human capital and wage inequality
Carrillo-Tudela, Carlos - 2012
The objective of this paper is to construct and quantitatively assess an equilibrium search model with on-the-job search and general human capital accumulation. In the model workers enter the labour market with different abilities and firms differ in their productivities. Wages are dispersed...

Hiring and Firing Costs, Adverse Selection
Saint-Paul, Gilles; Kugler, Adriana D. - 2000
In this paper, we present a matching model with adverse selection that explains why flows into and out of unemployment are much lower in Europe compared to North America, while employment-to-employment flows are similar in the two continents. In the model, firms use discretion in terms of whom...

Unemployment and endogenous reallocation over the business cycle
Carrillo-Tudela, Carlos; Visschers, Ludo - 2013
We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous labor markets. Facing search frictions within markets and reallocation frictions between markets, workers endogenously separate from employment and endogenously reallocate between...
