Business cycle asymmetries and the labor market
Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian - 2016 - This Version: February 2016
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 productivity shocks for new contacts. Large negative...

Do the higher educated unemployed crowd out the lower educated ones in a competition for jobs?
Cockx, Bart; Dejemeppe, Muriel - 2002
This paper proposes a new method to estimate the extent of job competition between workers with different schooling levels. We estimate the structural parameters of a matching function generalised to incorporate crowding out effects. We use flow data out of unemployment containing information on...

The matching process : search or mismatch?
Gottfries, Nils; Stadin, Karolina - 2016

Vacancies are filled quickly and there is no (or only weak) evidence … that high unemployment makes it easier to fill vacancies; hiring appears to be determined by labour demand while frictions …
