deals with the question whether ALMP improves the matching-process between job-seekers and vacancies and thus increases the … former programme participants. The result from our augmented matching function shows that the lock-in effect is also present … matching process. However, this effect varies largely between different types of programmes. Positive effects occur for long …

This paper applies a search matching model with firing restrictions to examine whether the existence of firing … restrictions affects the outcome of the matching process and the natural rate of unemployment in Tunisia. The paper concludes that …

"This paper refers to an analysis of matching processes in occupational labour markets in terms of classes of jobs that … on the assumption of separate occupational labour markets. This assumption suggests that job search and matching … cross-sectional dependency lags for regressors to test the hypothesis that job search and matching occur across occupational …

We use German administrative labor market data to show that the matching function correlation solely … based on idiosyncratic productivity and free entry is very close to the empirical matching function. Consequently, we argue … that standard matching function estimations are seriously biased if idiosyncratic productivity plays a role for match …
