Optimal policy and the role of social contacts in a search model with heterogeneous workers
Stupnytska, Yuliia; Zaharieva, Anna - 2013
This paper develops a search model with heterogeneous workers and social networks. High ability workers are more productive and have a larger number of professional contacts. Firms have a choice between a high cost vacancy in the regular labour market and a low cost job opening in the referral...

Occupational match quality and gender over two cohorts
Addison, John T.; Liwen, Chen; Ozturk, Orgul Demet - 2018
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....

Wages and employment in a random social network with arbitrary degree distribution
Ioannides, Yannis M.; Soetevent, Adriaan R. - 2006
Empirical studies of labor markets show that social contacts are an important source of job-related information [Ioannides and Loury (2004)]. At the same time, wage differences among workers may be explained only in part by differences in individual background characteristics. Such findings...

Occupational match quality and gender over two cohorts
Addison, John T.; Chen, Liwen; Ozturk, Orgul Demet - 2017
Job mobility, especially early in a career, is an important source of wage growth. This effect is typically attributed to heterogeneity in the quality of employee-employer matches, with individuals learning of their abilities and discovering the tasks at which they are most productive through...

Social interactions, mechanisms, and equilibrium : evidence from a model of study time and academic achievement
Conley, Timothy G.; Mehta, Nirav; Stinebrickner, Ralph; … - 2015
We develop and estimate an equilibrium model of study time choices of students on a social network. We examine how network structure interacts with student characteristics to affect academic achievement. Due to data limitations, few papers examine the mechanisms through which peer effects...
