Inspired by sorting theory, we infer firm productivity from estimating firm …-level production functions, taking into account that worker ability and firm productivity may interact at the match level.

We present new evidence on how employment growth varies across firm types (size, productivity, and wage) and over the … hirings from/to employment (poaching) and net hirings from nonemployment. High-productivity firms are the most growing firms …

I study a dynamic search-matching model with two-sided heterogeneity, a production complementarity that induces labor … market sorting, and aggregate shocks. In response to a positive productivity shock, incentives to sort increase … disproportionately. Firms respond by posting additional vacancies, and the strength of the response is increasing in firm productivity …
