Career Paths with a Two-Body Problem : Occupational Specialization and Geographic Mobility
Rueda, Valeria; Wilemme, Guillaume - 2021
We develop a model of joint job search and occupational choice in which job opportunities can be incompatible inside the couple. Typically, incompatibilities may arise because jobs are not in the same location. We show that the existence of incompatible jobs pushes some couples to sacrifice the...

Employment Fluctuations with Downward Wage Rigidity : The Role of Moral Hazard
Costain, James S. - 2009
This paper studies the cyclical dynamics of Mortensen and Pissarides' (1994) model of job creation and destruction when workers' effort is not perfectly observable, as in Shapiro and Stiglitz (1984). An occasionally-binding no-shirking constraint truncates the real wage distribution from below,...

This paper investigates the role of worker-firm matching algorithms in accounting for early job separation rates. For … predictors for the job separation rates and propose alternative matching methods using the serial dictatorship. Our simulation … results show that alternative matching methods can substantially reduce job separation rates, suggesting a possible …
