We examine the direct impact of idiosyncratic match quality on entry wages and job mobility using unique data on worker talents matched to job-indicators and individual wages. Tenured workers are clustered in jobs with high job-specific returns to their types of talents. We therefore measure...

The generosity of the Unemployment Insurance system (UI) plays a central role for the job search behavior of unemployed individuals. Standard search theory predicts that an increase in UI benefit generosity, either in terms of benefit duration or entitlement, has a negative impact on the job...

Based on rich administrative data from Germany, we address the differences in occupation specific job-matching …) in an occupation and the diversity of tasks in an occupation. We find that the matching efficiency improves with higher … positive or negative effects on the matching efficiency. We discuss the conditions under which the empirical results can be …
