Moreover, the model exhibits unemployment duration dependence, which (when calibrated to long …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 …

We analyze the impact of immigration on the host country within a search and matching model that allows for skill … heterogeneity, endogenous skill acquisition, differential search cost between immigrants and natives, capital-skill complementarity …

In particular we investigate to which extent those schemes, through employment services and search requirements, can … hazard models and assess what variables are important in determining unemployment duration. Our findings suggest that even … criteria impose certain search requirements, but with time they simply reduces liquidity constraints and thus increase duration …

Unemployment durations are determined by a number of factors. According to mainstream economics theory, unemployment … before the spell of unemployment will experience shorter spells of unemployment than workers who had a permanent contract … before. We adopt a flexible hazard rate model with a nonparametric baseline to analyse data on unemployment spells in Germany …

Besides, search methods have a discriminating effect on unemployment duration. …This paper aims at introducing the plurality of search methods in a job search model with endogenous intensity. Search … methods are integrated through a function of information production, which influences both the offer rate and search costs …

Results highlight the selectivity of the search …This paper provides new developments in job search theory, incorporating a duality in search strategies which compose … the spatial area of the public employment agency. The alternative strategy allows to extend search area, using other media …

This paper aims at estimating the impact of search strategies (effort and search channels) on unemployment duration. A … two-step microeconometric application is used. First, the choice process of search strategies (number and type of search … media used) is analysed. Second, competing risk models are estimated in order to evaluate the compared efficiency of search …
