An Empirical Model of Employed Search, Unemployed Search, and Nonsearch
利用1969-1971年美国年轻男性数据，研究在职者选择在职搜寻、失业搜寻或不搜寻新工作的决定因素，发现工资、资历、集体谈判覆盖等变量与搜寻强度负相关。
The 1969-1971 National Longitudinal Surveys data on young men were used to study the employed worker's choice among employed search, unemployed search, and not searching for a new job. We assume that an unobserved variable, search intensity, governs this choice such that unemployed search involves a greater intensity than employed search, which, of course, is associated with greater intensity than nonsearch. The principal results are that current wages, seniority, collective bargaining coverage, employment outside construction, and employment by government are each, ceteris paribus, negatively associated with search intensity. Further, each of these variables lowers the probability of not searching and raises the probabilities of employed and unemployed job search.
