We examine the direct impact of idiosyncratic match quality on entry wages and job mobility using unique data on worker talents matched to job-indicators and individual wages. Tenured workers are clustered in jobs with high job-specific returns to their types of talents. We therefore measure...

A consumer with unit demand sequentially visits sellers of competing products for which her private values are uncertain. She can learn each value at a cost or purchase any of the products without learning. Each seller optimally sets either a "regular" price which induces a visiting consumer to...

For many new products or products with multiple attributes, learning the price is often easier than learning one's willingness to pay. We model a market in which consumers face a transportation cost to discover a seller's price, and then have the option to pay a learning cost to discover the...

This paper studies wage effects and job mobility as a result of skill mismatch in worker- occupation pairs. I develop a Roy model in which learning on the job induces workers to shift more time towards job-specific activities. Using a short task panel containing data on worker’s time...
