Unemployed Job Search across People and over Time: Evidence from Applied-For Jobs
利用丹麦失业保险领取者申请职位的全样本数据，研究失业期间求职行为在个体间和随时间的变化，发现个体间申请工资水平差异大，但随时间推移工资调整方式一致，且非工资特征和搜索方法也有类似规律。
Using data on applied-for jobs for the universe of Danish unemployment insurance recipients, we examine variation in job search behavior both across individuals and over time during unemployment spells. We find large differences in the level of applied-for wages across individuals, but over time all individuals adjust wages downward in the same way. The decline in applied-for wages over time is descriptively small but economically important in standard models of job search. We find similar results when examining variation in the nonwage characteristics of applied-for jobs and in the search methods used to find them. We discuss implications for theory.
