Structural Estimation of Search Intensity: Do Non-Employed Workers Search Enough?

Gautier, Pieter A; Moraga-González, José-Luis; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

How Large are Search Frictions?

Gautier, Pieter A; Teulings, Coen N - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

This paper shows that we can normalize job and worker characteristics such that without frictions there exists a linear relationship between wages on the one hand and worker and job type indices on the other. However, for five European countries and the US we find strong evidence for a...

Learning for Employment, Innovating for Growth

Falkinger, Josef; Zweimüller, Josef - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1998

We present a model in which workers have to be educated to get employed and firms have to innovate in order to increase productivity. Education as well as innovation and production require skilled labour as inputs. This and the fact that learning opportunities differ across workers determine...

How Large are Search Frictions?

Gautier, Pieter A; Teulings, Coen N - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003

This Paper presents strong evidence for the concavity of wages in job and worker characteristics by adding second order terms to a Mincerian earnings function for six OECD countries. Under a standard normality assumption, this concavity cannot be attributed to unobserved components in those...

Simultaneous Search and Network Efficiency

Gautier, Pieter A; Holzner, Christian - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise if workers do not know where other workers apply to (this affects network creation) and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider (this affects network clearing). We show that those frictions and the...

Estimating equilibrium effects of job search assistance

Gautier, Pieter A; Muller, Paul; Rosholm, Michael; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

Randomized experiments provide policy relevant treatment effects if there are no spillovers between participants and nonparticipants. We show that this assumption is violated for a Danish activation program for unemployed workers. Using a difference-in-difference model we show that the...
