There is a continuum of heterogeneous vacancies in our model where every frm with an …'s size and formal search intensity can also be observed for firms that don't use referrals; (4) Firms that use referrals as a … search channel invest less effort into formal search compared to firms that don't use referrals; (5) Larger firms are less …

According to the standard union bargaining model, unemployment benefits should have big effects on wages, but product market prices and productivity should play no role in the wage bargain. We formulate an alternative strategic bargaining model, where labour and product market conditions...

This paper constructs and quantitatively assesses an equilibrium search model with on-the- job search and general human capital accumulation. In the model workers differ in their innate abilities and firms in their productivities. Wages are dispersed because of search frictions and workers'...

According to search-matching theory, the Beveridge curve slopes downward because vacancies are filled more quickly when unemployment is high. Using monthly panel data for local labour markets in Sweden we find no (or only weak) evidence that high unemployment makes it easier to fill vacancies....

The Solow condition is examined in an intertemporal model that blends the shirking and the turnover models of … efficiency wages with managerial supervision. It is shown that the Solow condition does not hold when shirking and turnover costs … are considered. The Solow condition can be a possible outcome when managerial productivity offsets shirking and turnover …

We construct a simple equilibrium search model in which workers accumulate information about previously met employment contacts. We term the latter search capital. Here search capital (partially) insures workers against adverse shocks. The model provides a theory of job-to-job transitions that...

The objective of this paper is to construct and quantitatively assess an equilibrium search model with on-the-job search and general human capital accumulation. In the model workers enter the labour market with different abilities and firms differ in their productivities. Wages are dispersed...
