In this study the gender wage gap within three birth cohorts is analysed on the basis of a panel sample of Danish workers covering the period 1979-1990.

In this paper, we compare two different types of models for the duration of unemployment spells: the multiple phase duration model and the competing risks model. Both models allow for non-proportionality of the effect of the explanatory variables on the hazard function. The two models are...

Labour market assimilation of Danish first generation male immigrants is analysed based on two panel data sets covering the population of immigrants and 10% of the Danish population during 1984-1995. Wages and employment probabilities are estimated jointly in a random effects model which...

The paper estimates supply for married and single men and women in Danmark in 1980, using a double-hurdle model which allows involuntary unemployment due to for example demand restrictions, and fixed costs of work.

In this paper we extend a job search-matching model with firm-specific investments in training developed by Mortensen (1998) to allow for different offer arrival rates in employment and unemployment. The model by Mortensen changes the original wage posting model (Burdett and Mortensen, 1998) in...

The wage posting approach to search equilibrium is incorporated into the equilibrium unemployment approach in the paper. The unique equilibrium to the wage posting game analysed is a distribution of wage offers of the same functional form as that originally derived by Burdett and Mortensen...

The youth unemployment rate in Denmark has recently been declining dramatically, which is unique among the OECD countries. In 1996, a radical labour market reform was implemented, the Youth Unemployment Programme (YUP), directed towards unemployed, low-educated youth. This paper analyses the...

Specification and extimation of a burdett-mortensen type equilibrium search model is considered. The estimation problem is nonstandard. An estimation strategy asymptotically equivalent to maximum likelihood is proposed and applied.

We extend the basic equilibrium search model of Burdett-Mortnesen with a human capital accumulating wage function and solve for the new equilibrium distribution of wages. We find an equilibrium distribution of earned wages with no upper bound of the support and with density having a decreasing...
