Job Search, Hours Restrictions, and Desired Hours of Work
构建了一个包含劳动供给决策的结构性求职模型,利用主观期望工时数据识别最优工时,并模拟了失业金减少和标准周工时缩短对失业者接受工作行为的影响。
A structural empirical job search model is presented that incorporates the labor supply decision of individuals. The arrival of a job offer is modeled as a random draw from a wage-hours offer distribution. Subjective information is used on desired working hours to identify optimal hours from offered hours. Policy simulations are performed to address several policy questions: Does a decrease in unemployment benefits lead to the acceptance of jobs with less preferred working hours? How does a decrease in the length of the standard working week affect the job acceptance behavior of the unemployed? © 2008 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.
