Structural Estimation of Search Intensity: Do Non-Employed Workers Search Enough?
Gautier, Pieter A.; Moraga-González, José Luis; … - Tinbergen Institute - 2007
We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

Business Cycles and Compositional Variation in U.S. Unemployment
Abbring, Jaap H.; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Ours, Jan C. van - Tinbergen Institute - 1997
In the past decades several features of U.S. unemployment dynamics have been investigated empirically. The original … focus of research was on the duration of unemployment. In later studies the cyclicality of incidence and duration …, compositional effects and duration dependence of the exit rate out of unemployment have been investigated. Unlike the partial …

The Effect of Search Frictions on Wages
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - Tinbergen Instituut - 2006
This discussion paper resulted in a publication in <A href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927537110000916">'Labour Economics'</A>, 17(6), 875-85.<P>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...</p></a>

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 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...
