Using a multi-dimensional measure of occupational mismatch, we report distinct gender differences in match quality and changes in match quality over the course of careers. A substantial portion of the gender wage gap stems from match quality differences among more educated individuals....

Hiring subsidies are widely used to create (stable) employment for the long-term unemployed. This paper exploits the abolition of a hiring subsidy targeted at long-term unemployed jobseekers over 45 years of age in Belgium to evaluate its effectiveness in the short and medium run. Based on a...

Models of random search, directed search, or stock-ow matching differ substantially in the way they assume that job … seekers and firms behave during the recruitment process. In this paper we identify new patterns about the recruitment … behaviour of firms using the entropy balancing technique and argue that stock-flow matching models - if suitably amended by a …

We investigate minimum wage spillovers by exploiting the first-time introduction of a minimum wage within a quasi-experiment in a context with an extraordinary large bite: the German roofing industry. We find positive wage spillovers for medium-skilled workers with wages just above the minimum...

We investigate how job displacement affects whom men marry and study implications for marriage market matching theory … if matched with low-earning women and to re-match with higher earning women. We use a general search and matching model … substitutes rather than complements in the marriage market; (ii) our findings are hard to reconcile with one-dimensional matching …

This paper develops a sufficient statistics approach for estimating the role of search frictions in wage dispersion and lifecycle wage growth. We show how the wage dynamics of displaced workers are directly informative of both for a large class of search models. Specifically, the correlation...

We propose a theoretical explanation for the so-called "beauty premium". Our explanation is based entirely on search frictions and the fact that physical appearance plays an important role in attracting a marriage partner. We analyse the interaction between frictional labour and marriage markets...
