Estimating a Structural Search Model: The Transition from School to Work
构建并估计了一个有限期搜索模型，利用美国青年男性高中毕业生的纵向数据，估计保留工资和录用概率，并模拟参数变化对预期失业时长的影响。
This paper presents a finite-horizon search model that is econometrically implemented using all of the restrictions impli ed by the theory. Following a sample of male high school graduates fr om the youth cohort of the National Longitudinal Surveys from graduat ion to employment, search parameters are estimated. Reservation wages and offer probabilities are estimated to be quite low. Simulations a re performed of the impact of changing the parameters on the expected duration of unemployment.
