Job mobility equilibrates disparities on local labor markets and influences the efficiency of the job matching process …. In this paper, we describe a job matching model that allows for simultaneous regional and occupational mobility … occupations in distinct regions. We specify a matching function for these local labor markets with regional spillovers …

We consider the problem of statistical analysis on assortative matching. The random vector of interests consists of the …

. Moreover, it is shown that the neglect of endogenous but not observable behavior in the empirical literature on labor matching … leads to systematically biased estimates of the matching elasticities, posing a caveat on the results of previous studies … testing for constant returns of the matching function. The theoretical model presented allows to predict the direction of the …

We analyse quarterly panel data of German job centres in the period 2006 to 2011 and … matching-function framework by applying the system generalized methods of moments estimator. Our results point to positive …

Based on rich administrative data from Germany, we address the differences in occupation specific job-matching …) in an occupation and the diversity of tasks in an occupation.
