Modeling generative AI and social entrepreneurial searches : a contextualized optimal stopping approach

Kim, Junic - 2025

This theoretical study rigorously investigates how generative artificial intelligence reshapes decision-making in social entrepreneurship by modeling the opportunity search process through the lens of optimal stopping theory. Social entrepreneurs often face high uncertainty and resource...

Wage expectations and job search

Altmann, Steffen; Mahlstedt, Robert; Rattenborg, Malte; … - 2026

In a field experiment with 9,000 Danish job seekers, we study how unemployed workers’ wage expectations affect job search and re-employment. In our survey, we generate exogenous variation in respondents' wage expectations by informing a random half of them about re-employment wages of...

Optimal consumption and portfolio choice with no-borrowing constraint in the Kim-Omberg model

Ferrari, Giorgio; Schütz, Tim Niclas - 2026

In this paper, we study an intertemporal utility maximization problem in which an investor chooses consumption and portfolio strategies in the presence of a stochastic factor and a no-borrowing constraint. In the spirit of the Kim-Omberg model, the stochastic factor represents the excess return...

Wage dispersion, on-the-job search, and stochastic match productivity : a mean field game approach

Buhai, Sebastian - 2026

Wage dispersion and job-to-job mobility are central features of modern labour markets, yet canonical equilibrium search models with exogenous job-offer ladders struggle to jointly account for these facts and the magnitude of frictional wage inequality. We develop a continuous-time equilibrium...

Directedness in search

Lentz, Rasmus; Maibom, Jonas; Moen, Espen R. - 2026

We present a tractable, hybrid framework that nests random and perfectly directed search, in which workers are more likely to direct their search toward submarkets with higher returns, while still searching in inferior submarkets with positive probability. The choice of submarket is governed by...

Job search, job amenities, and the gender pay gap

Faberman, R. Jason; Müller, Andreas; Şahin, Ayşegül - 2026

This paper studies gender gaps in labor-market outcomes, with a focus on job ladder dynamics. We show that women experience substantially lower wage growth conditional on prior wages despite nearly identical job-to-job transition rates for men and women. To reconcile these observations, we...
