The Role of Selective Job Search in UK Unemployment
利用英国微观数据，检验失业者是否因选择性求职（只找原行业工作）导致高失业持续，发现选择性求职者并非主因，因其策略更有效。
Selective search where unemployed job losers confine their job seeking efforts to matches in the pre‐separation sector has attracted consid erable attention as a possible source of high and persistent unemployment. However, this idea is questionable. Those opting for selection may do so because this strategy is more effective at gener ating an acceptable offer. Using UK microdata I find evidence in support of the latter view. Selective searchers cannot account for the persistence of high unemployment since the early 1980s
