Beyond Cobb-Douglas: flexibly estimating matching functions with unobserved matching efficiency
Lange, Fabian; Papageorgiou, Theodore - 2020
Exploiting results from the literature on non-parametric identification, we make three methodological contributions to the empirical literature estimating the matching function, commonly used to map unemployment and vacancies into hires. First, we show how to non-parametrically identify the...

Trade and unemployment : what do the data say?
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Prat, Julien; Schmerer, Hans-Jörg - 2009
This paper documents a robust empirical regularity: in the long-run, higher trade openness is causally associated to a lower structural rate of unemployment. We establish this fact using: (i) panel data from 20 OECD countries, (ii) cross-sectional data on a larger set of countries. The time...

Globalization, Worker Mobility and Wage Inequality
Stijepic, Damir - 2016
In the present paper, I integrate frictional labor markets with on-the-job search into an otherwise standard heterogeneous firm model of intra-industry trade. Most importantly, I show that the returns to workers' inter-firm mobility are higher in a trade equilibrium than in autarky. Intuitively,...
