Survey (LFS) to construct worker transition rates across employment, unemployment, and inactivity. Our approach involves … splitting of unemployment outflows between employment and inactivity. In turn, the estimated job search factor can be used in a … transition rates: (a) from employment to unemployment have fallen over time (b) from unemployment to employment were unusually …

In this paper, we … aggregate employment differences across a large panel of European countries. We then build a life-cycle Diamond …

A search-theoretic model of the labor market with idiosyncratic fluctuations in hours worked, search both off- and on-the-job, and multiple jobholding is developed. Taking on a second job entails a commitment to hold onto the primary employer, enabling the worker to use the primary job as her...

A search-theoretic model of the labor market with endogenous variations in hours worked, search both off- and on-the-job, and multiple jobholding is developed. Taking on a second job entails a commitment to hold onto the primary employer, enabling the worker to use the primary job as her outside...

We document that fluctuations in part-time employment play a major role in movements in hours per worker, especially … margin based on a stock-flow framework. The evolution of part-time employment is predominantly explained by cyclical changes … in transitions between full-time and part-time employment, which occur overwhelmingly at the same employer and entail …

We propose a model to evaluate the U.K.’s zero-hours contract (ZHC) – a contract that exempts employers from the requirement to provide any minimum working hours, and allows workers to decline any workload. We find quantitatively mixed welfare effects of ZHCs. On one hand they unlock job...
