We construct and estimate by maximum likelihood an equilibrium search model where wages are set by Nash bargaining and … Survey data on accepted wages and employment durations. We show that it captures almost perfectly the joint distribution of … wages and job spells. We find that the rate of learning-by-doing has an important positive effect on aggregate output and a …

We introduce a dynamic and fully strategic model of wage determination in the presence of firm-specific human capital. In this model, human capital is interpreted as information. We show that equilibrium exists and is efficient and that it gives rise to a unique distribution of the social...

A pre-condition for employer learning is that signals at labor market entry do not fully reveal graduates' productivity. I model various distinct sources of signal imperfection-such as noise and multi-dimensional types-and characterize their implications for the private return to skill...

This paper discusses the claim made in Altonji and Pierret (1997) and Lange (2005) that a high speed of employer learning indicates a low value of job market signaling. The claim is first discussed intuitively in light of Spence's original model and then evaluated in a simple extension of a...

This study examines the labor-market returns of skill signals. We identify the labor-market effect of grade point averages (GPA) by leveraging a nationwide change in the scaling of grades in Danish universities. Results show that a reform-induced increase in GPA that is unrelated to ability...
