Using firm data to assess the performance of equilibrium search models of the labor market
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 2000
Equilibrium search models are useful tools for the evaluation of labor market policies. Recently developed equilibrium search models of the labor market are able to fit the wage distribution perfectly with longitudinal labor supply data, by estimating an appropriate distribution of labor...

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 …

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...
