A cross-country comparison of labor market frictions

Ridder, Geert; Berg, Gerard J. van den - 2002

In this paper we define and estimate measures of labor market frictions using data on job durations. We compare different estimation methods and different types of data. We propose and apply an unconditional inference method that can be applied to aggregate duration data. It does not require...

Separations at the firm level

Gautier, Pieter; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Ours, Jan C. van - 1999

Does the size of the effect of adverse events at high ages on daily-life physical functioning depend on the economic conditions around birth?

Scholte, Robert S.; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Lindeboom, … - 2014

This paper considers determinants of physical-functional limitations in daily-life activities at high ages. Specifically, we quantify the extent to which the impact of adverse life events on this outcome is larger in case of exposure to adverse economic conditions early in life. Adverse life...

Structural empirical evaluation of job search monitoring

and job-to-job mobility. We structurally estimate a job search model with endogenous job search effort by the unemployed … of monitoring is randomized. They include registers of post-unemployment outcomes like wages and job mobility, and survey …. In general, job mobility compensates for adverse long-run effects of monitoring on wages. We use the structural estimates …

Dependence measures in bivariate gamma frailty models

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Effraimidis, Georgios - 2014

Bivariate duration data frequently arise in economics, biostatistics and other areas. In "bivariate frailty models", dependence between the frailties (i.e., unobserved determinants) induces dependence between the durations. Using notions of quadrant dependence, we study restrictions that this...

Unemployment effects of the German minimum wage in an equilibrium job search model

Blömer, Maximilian J.; Gürtzgen, Nicole; Pohlan, Laura; … - 2018

We structurally estimate an equilibrium search model using German administrative data and use this for counterfactual analyses of a uniform minimum wage. The model with worker and firm heterogeneity does not restrict the sign of employment effects a priori and allows for different job offer...
