Revisiting the matching function

Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian; Nordmeier, Daniela - 2014

This paper shows analytically and numerically that there are two ways of generating an observationally equivalent comovement between matches, unemployment, and vacancies in dynamic labor market models: either by assuming a standard Cobb-Douglas contact function or by combining a degenerate...

Revisiting the matching function

Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian; Nordmeier, Daniela - 2016

There is strong empirical evidence for Cobb-Douglas matching functions. We show in this paper that this widely found relation between matches on the one hand and unemployment and vacancies on the other hand can be the result of different underlying mechanisms. Obviously, it can be generated by...
