Job Search, Search Intensity, and Labor Market Transitions
构建了一个内生搜索强度的结构求职模型，利用搜索强度指标数据估计其对劳动力市场转换的影响，并量化了福利水平对失业者搜索强度的影响，揭示了“沮丧工人”效应。
Abstract In this paper we present an empirical structural job search model with endogenously determined search intensity. The model describes both the behaviour of unemployed job seekers and on-the-job search. We use data on various indicators for the intensity of search to study the influence of the intensity of search on labour market transitions. The estimation results give us insight in the effectiveness of search. The impact of the benefit level on the search intensity of unemployed job seekers is quantified. Moreover, the estimation results are used to gain insight in the 'discouraged worker' effect.
