Combining Micro and Macro Unemployment Duration Data
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Klaauw, Bas van der - Tinbergen Institute - 1998
We combine micro and macro unemployment duration data to study the effects of the business cycle on the outflow from … unemployment. We allow the cycle to affect individual exit probabilities of unemployed workers as well as the composition of the … total inflow into unemployment. We estimate the model using (micro) survey data and (macro) administrative data from France …

Simultaneous Search and Network Efficiency
Gautier, Pieter A.; Holzner, Christian L. - Tinbergen Institute - 2011
When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise because workers typically do not know where other workers apply to and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider. The first coordination friction affects network formation, while the second...

Punitive sanctions and the transition rate from welfare to work
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Klaauw, Bas van der; Ours, Jan … - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1998
In The Netherlands, the average exit rate out of welfare is dramatically low. Most welfare recipients have to comply with guidelines on job search effort that are imposed by the welfare agency. If they do not, then a sanction in the form of a temporarily benefit reduction can be imposed. This...

Simultaneous Search with Heterogeneous Firms and Ex Post Competition
Gautier, Pieter A.; Wolthoff, Ronald P. - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
In this paper we study the allocation of workers over high and low productivity firms in a labor market with coordination frictions. Specifically, we consider a search model where workers can apply to high and or low productivity firms. Firms that compete for the same candidate can increase...

The Effect of Search Frictions on Wages
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
Labor market theories allowing for search frictions make marked predictions on the effect of the degree of frictions on wages. Often, the effect is predicted to be negative. Despite the popularity of these theories, this has never been tested. We perform tests with matched worker-firm data. The...

Measuring the equilibrium effects of unemployment benefits dispersion
Vuuren, Aico van; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Ridder, Geert - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1999
We analyze the impact of unemployment benefits and minimum wages using an equilibrium search model which allows for … dispersion of benefits and productivity levels, job-to-job transitions, and structural and frictional unemployment. The … estimation method uses readily available aggregate data on marginal distributions of unemployment durations as well as wages and …
