The objective of this paper is to provide a comparative assessment of the consequences of worker displacement in France and the United States. I estimate wage losses of displaced workers in the two countries and examine the relative contribution of two important sources of post-displacement wage...

The explosion in online social networks motivates an enquiry into their structure and their welfare effects. A central feature of these networks is information sharing: online social networks lower the cost of getting information from others. These lower costs affect the attractiveness of...

The objective of this paper is to model explicitly the possibility to form temporary matching in a model of two-sided search. The agents (workers and employers) differ in their human quality endowment. In a search equilibrium agents form subintervals and are only matched to agents within their...

With informational frictions on the labor market, hedonic wage regressions provide biased estimates of the willingness to pay for job attributes. We show that a recent theoretical result, which states that the variation in job durations provides a basis for obtaining good estimates, can be...

We present a general equilibrium model in which unemployed workers search for employment opportunities. We deviate from the traditional search and matching literature by allowing each worker to simultaneously sample a number of firms; exogenously given, this number is a natural proxy for labor...

I propose a frictional search model of the labor market with worker and firm heterogeneity, sorting, and aggregate uncertainty. My main contribution is to show that labor market sorting, arising from a production complementarity between worker skills and firm productivities, can improve our...

To evaluate the role of incomplete information during job search in explaining occupational segregation by gender, we administered a survey experiment with 1,000 female senior undergraduates in Korea. At random, half the students were provided with average wage and nonwage statistics for...

In this paper, we study whether performance feedback can serve as an instrument for firms to increase employee retention. Feedback on the relative performance may affect individual job search behavior differently depending on workers’ relative rank among their peers. In line with these...

We study information sharing between competing sellers in markets where consumers sample sellers sequentially. Sellers can disclose to their rival when they encounter a specific buyer. Providing this information, which we call search disclosure, can enable all forms of search history-based price...
