A job ladder model with stochastic employment opportunities
Bradley, Jake; Gottfries, Axel - 2018
We set up a model with on-the-job search in which firms infrequently post vacancies for which workers occasionally apply. The model nests the standard job ladder and stock-flow models as special cases while remaining analytically tractable and easy to estimate from standard panel data sets....
