This paper shows that a search and matching model with idiosyncratic training cost shocks can explain the asymmetric … movement of the job-finding rate over the business cycle and the decline of matching efficiency in recessions. Large negative … tightness. Our model explains a large fraction of the matching efficiency decline during the Great Recession and generates state …

This paper shows that the matching function and the Beveridge curve in the United States exhibit strong nonlinearities … over the business cycle. These patterns can be replicated by enhancing a search and matching model with idiosyncratic … density function with higher density and thereby generate large, asymmetric job-finding rate and unemployment reactions. Our …
