The Intensity of Job Search and Search Duration
利用在线求职申请数据，研究发现个体求职强度随搜索时间持续下降，而长期求职者整体搜索强度更高，且多为年长、男性、非在职及劳动力市场较弱地区的求职者，这与标准劳动搜索模型假设相悖。
We use online job application data to study the relationship between search intensity and search duration. The data allow us to control for job seeker composition and the evolution of available job openings over the duration of search. We find that, within an individual search spell, search intensity declines continuously. We also find that longer-duration job seekers search more intensely throughout their search. They tend to be older, male, nonemployed, and live in areas with weaker labor markets. Our findings contradict standard assumptions of labor search models. We discuss how to reconcile the theory with our evidence.
