This paper introduces a method for estimating workers’ marginal willingness to pay for job attributes employing data on job search activity. The empirical relevante of this method is shown by using studies that examine search behaviour in the U.S. and the Netherlands. We provide estimates of...

This paper introduces a method to estimate the unemployed individual ‘s marginal willingness to pay for the remaining entitlement period by application of search theory. It is demonstrated that search theory implies that the unemployed individuals’ marginal willingness to pay the remaining...

Estimates of workers' willingness to pay for nonwage job attributes (e.g., the risk of injury) are usually based on hedonic wage methods. In this study, workers' marginal willingness to pay for nonwage job attributes is derived from an analysis of job quitting behavior employing discrete choice...

This paper introduces a method for estimating workers' marginal willingness to pay for job attributes employing data on job search activity. The empirical relevante of this method is shown by using studies that examine search behaviour in the U.S. and the Netherlands. We provide estimates of...

Housing markets may significantly affect the relationship between regional population and employment, if housing supply is not fully accommodative to demand. We analyse the relationships between housing supply, regional population and employment empirically in a three-equation dynamic model....

Transaction costs have attracted considerable attention in the theoretical literature on residential mobility. In many European countries, these costs mainly consist of ad-valorem transaction costs. In the current paper, we demonstrate empirically for the Netherlands that the transaction costs...

Why are regional unemployment differentials in Europe so persistent if, as the wage curve literature demonstrates, there is no compensation in labour markets? We hypothesise that workers in high-unemployment regions are compensated in housing markets. Modelling regional unemployment...

Deze studie geefì een overzicht van veranderingen in het socialezekerheidsstelsel en het actief arbeidsmarktbeleid in Nederland in de periode 1987-1995. Daartoe worden achtereenvolgens de beleidsdoelstellingen, -maatregelen en -evaluaties van deze veranderingen besproken. Ook worden nog...

In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op het meten van het succes van informatiesystemen. Het informatiesysteem wordt hierbij niet beschouwd als een 'computerprogramma', maar als een systeem dat informatie verschaft aan gebruikers. Het succes van een systeem wordt dan ook niet door technische zaken...
