Opening the black box of the matching function : the power of words
Marinescu, Ioana; Wolthoff, Ronald - 2015
How do employers attract the right workers? How important are posted wages vs. other job characteristics? Using data … from the leading job board CareerBuilder.com, we show that most vacancies do not post wages, and, for those that do, job … elasticity of labor supply. Thus, our results uncover the previously undocumented power of words in the job matching process. …

Exploring the causes of frictional wage dispersion
Tjaden, Volker; Wellschmied, Felix - 2012
Standard search models are unreliable for structural inference of the underlying sources of wage inequality because they are inconsistent with observed residual wage dispersion. We address this issue by modeling skill development and duration dependence in unemployment benefits in a random on...

Returns to on-the-job search and the dispersion of wages
Gottfries, Axel; Teulings, Coen N. - 2017
A wide class of models with On-the-Job Search (OJS) predicts that workers gradually select into better-paying jobs. We develop a simple methodology to test predictions implied by OJS using two sources of identification: (i) time-variation in job-finding rates and (ii) the time since the last...

Employer learning and the "importance" of skills
Light, Audrey; McGee, Andrew D. - 2012
We ask whether the role of employer learning in the wage-setting process depends on skill type and skill importance to productivity. Combining data from the NLSY79 with O*NET data, we use Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery scores to measure seven distinct types of pre-market skills that...
