Labour market dynamics in a heterogeneous market
Gorter, Cees; Larquier, Guillemette de - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1999
This paper develops a flow model in a dual labour market with heterogeneous workers and heterogeneous jobs that allows for upward mobility or promotion flows via the internal market and demotion or deskilling flows through the state of unemployment. Dynamic impulse-responses analyses are used to...

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 … search frictions are estimated with worker data that are matched to the firm data. …

Geographical distribution of unemployment: an analysis of provincial differences in Italy
Cracolici, M. Francesca; Cuffaro, Miranda; Nijkamp, Peter - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 2007
Unemployment rates appear to vary widely at the subregional (e.g. local or provincial) level. Using spatial econometric models for spatial autocorrelation, this paper focuses attention on the spatial structure of regional unemployment disparities of Italian provinces. On the basis of findings...

Job searchers, job matches and the elasticity of matching ob searchers
Broersma, L. - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1996
This paper stresses the importance of a specification of the matching function, where the measure of job matches as a dependent variable, corresponds to the stock of job searchers. In many empirical studies on the matching function this requirement has not been fulfilled. In this paper, we show...

Are large firms more efficient in matching jobs to job searchers than small firms?
Broersma, L. - VU University Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics, Business … - 1996
This paper studies the behaviour of firms of different size with respect to their behaviour in matching vacant jobs to job searchers. We have specified and estimated a matching function for firms of different size in The Netherlands, according to the number of employees. We found no difference...
