Multiple Equilibria and Minimum Wages in Labor Markets with Informational Frictions and Heterogeneous Production Technologies
van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2003
It is often argued that a mandatory minimum wage is binding only if the wage density displays a spike at it. In this paper we analyze a model with search frictions and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after imposition, the...

Re-employment probabilities over the business cycle
Imbens, Guido W.; Lynch, Lisa M. - 2006
Using a Cox proportional hazard model that allows for a flexible time dependence in order to incorporate business cycle effects, we analyze the determinants of reemployment probabilities of young workers in the U.S. from 1978-1989. We find considerable changes in the chances of young workers...

The labor market consequences of adverse financial shocks
Boeri, Tito; Garibaldi, Pietro; Moen, Espen R. - 2012
The recent financial crises, alongside a dramatic rise in unemployment on both sides of the Atlantic, suggest that financial shocks do translate into the labor markets. In this paper we first document that financial recessions amplify labor market volatility and Okun's elasticity over the...

Evaluating search and matching models using experimental data
Lise, Jeremy; Seitz, Shannon; Smith, Jeffrey A. - 2005
This paper introduces an innovative test of search and matching models using the exogenous variation available in … experimental data. We take an off-the-shelf Pissarides matching model and calibrate it to data on the control group from a … randomized social experiment. We then simulate a program group from a randomized experiment within the model. As a measure of the …
