On‐the‐Job Search in a Matching Model with Heterogeneous Jobs and Workers
构建了一个异质性岗位与工人的匹配模型，允许高学历工人接受低技能工作并同时在职搜寻更好岗位，分析了这一行为对均衡、失业率、工资不平等及劳动力市场对技能供需变化的反应的影响。
This article examines the effects of transitory skill mismatch in a matching model with heterogeneous jobs and workers. In our model, some highly-educated workers may accept unskilled jobs for which they are over-qualified but are allowed to engage in on-the-job search in pursuit of a better job. We show that this feature has relevant implications for the set of potential equilibria, the unemployment rates of the different types of workers, the degree of wage inequality, and the response of the labour market to shifts in the demand and supply of skills.
