In The Netherlands, as in many countries: unemployment rates of lower educated workers are higher and more cyclical … than unemployment rates of higher educated workers. In this paper we test whether this is caused by the fact that more …

Separations at the firm level
Gautier, Pieter A.; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Ours, Jan … - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1999
-off policy of firms can explain the relatively high level of unemployment amongst lower educated workers and the relatively … strong sensitivity of their unemployment rate to the business cycle. We find that lay-off rates decrease with education but … with a higher level of education can not explain the stronger cyclicality of the unemployment rate for lower educated …

Multiple equilibria and minimum wages in labor markets with informational frictions and heterogeneous production technologies
Berg, Gerard J. van den - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1999
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 wage setting, search frictions, and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after...

An empirical equilibrium job search model with continuously distributed heterogeneity of workers' opportunity costs of employment and firms productivities, and search on the job
Bontemps, Christian; Robin, Jean-Marc; Berg, Gerard J. … - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1998
In this paper we present and estimate a synthesis of previous equilibrium search models: allowing for continuous distributions of workers opportunity costs of employment, as well as firms' productivities. The model allows for on-the-job search, and we assume that job offer arrival rates for...
