Scale Effects in Markets with Search
Petrongolo, Barbara; Pissarides, Christopher A. - 2003
Reduced-form tests of scale effects in markets with search, run when aggregate matching functions are estimated, may miss important scale effects at the micro level, because of the reactions of job searchers. A semi-structural model is developed and estimated on a British sample, testing for...
