This paper introduces an innovative test of search and matching models using the exogenous variation available in … experimental data. We take an off-the-shelf Pissarides matching model and calibrate it to data on the control group from a … randomized social experiment. We then simulate a program group from a randomized experiment within the model. As a measure of the …

In this paper we investigate the labor market dynamics in a matching model where fluctuations are driven by movements … that the canonical matching model under a very standard calibration is able to generate an important volatility of …

We study active labor market policies (ALMP) in a matching model. ALMPs are modelled as a subsidy to job search …

labor market states. In steady-state, we hence have a theory of equilibrium unemployment determined by both matching …
