I develop a matching model with heterogeneous workers, firms, and worker-firm matches, and apply it to longitudinal … truncated. I test predictions from the matching model using data from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD … structures, including the martingale hypothesis implied by the learning process. I find considerable support for the matching …

Skill-biased labor market reforms and international competitiveness
Schmerer, Hans-Jörg - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2012
"This paper proposes a multi-industry trade model with integrated capital and goods markets. Labor market imperfections in line with Mortensen and Pissarides (1994) give rise to unemployment and a channel for the government to influence markets through institutional changes. Labor market...

Multiple Equilibria and Minimum Wages in Labor Markets with Informational Frictions and Heterogeneous Production Technologies
den Berg, Gerard J. van - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003
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 search frictions and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after imposition, the...

Recent years have witnessed a rise in right-wing extremism among German youth and young adults. This paper investigates the extent to which the experience of parental unemployment during childhood affects young people’s far right-wing attitudes and xenophobia. Estimates from three different...

Career Progression and Formal versus On-the-Job Training
Adda, Jérôme; Dustmann, Christian; Meghir, Costas; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007
We develop a dynamic discrete choice model of training choice, employment and wage growth, allowing for job mobility, in a world where wages depend on firm-worker matches, as well as experience and tenure and jobs take time to locate. We estimate this model on a large administrative panel data...

Business Cycles, Wage Setting, and Asymmetric Information
Shimer, Robert - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004
This paper explores wage-setting in the presence of asymmetric information. Firms know their own productivity, while workers only know the distribution of productivity in the economy. Although there is unemployment in equilibrium, the labor market is competitive in the sense of Moen (1997):...

Transition with Labour Supply
Boeri, Tito - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2001
Ten years after the start of transition, there are many puzzles we still have to live with. Why did all countries experience strong declines in output at the outset of economic transformations and most of them are slowly, if at all, recovering from this "transitional recession"? How can these...

A Steady-State Model of a Non-Walrasian Economy with Three Imperfect Markets
Wasmer, Etienne - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011
Unemployment may depend on equilibrium in other markets than the labor markets. This paper adresses this old idea by introducing search frictions on several markets: in a model of credit and labor market imperfections as in Wasmer and Weil (2004), I further introduce search on the goods market....
