Do Employers Respond to the Costs of Continued Search?
利用美国和斯洛文尼亚的职位空缺数据，发现搜寻成本越高、初始低成本搜寻时间越短或成本上升后，雇主更可能雇佣资历不足的工人，表明劳动力市场搜寻摩擦可能很大。
An analysis of US and Slovenian vacancy data sets reveals that an employer who is searching to fill a job vacancy is more likely to fill the vacancy by hiring an under-qualified worker when the search costs are higher; when, at the start of the search, the employer has less time to search at low cost; and during the week following an increase in search costs. These are interesting findings not only about the effects of search costs on employers' hiring decisions, but also because they suggest that search frictions in the two labour markets may be considerable.
