Testing theories of labour market matching
This paper estimates a model of two-sided search using micro-level data for a well-defined labour market. It examines the assumption of random matching and contrasts it with the stock-flow (or non-random) matching model of Coles and collaborators. Given a dataset of contacts, matches, and complete labour-market histories for both sides of the market, we estimate hazard functions for both (unemp...
متن کاملGrade Inflation and Labour Market Matching
A model is presented where workers of differing abilities and from different social backgrounds are assigned to jobs based on grades received at school. It is examined how this matching is affected if good grades are granted to some low ability students. Such grade inflation is shown to reduce the aggregate wage of the lower class workers because employers use social origin as a signal for prod...
متن کاملStatistical Matching in ‘Labour Force’ and ‘Time Use’ Surveys
Abstract. In the National Statistical Systems, some parts of the official statistics required for development planning and evidence base management are collected through sampling survey. Due to the high cost of sampling process, as well as nonresponses, it may not be possible to collect all of the expected variables in a survey.In order to obtain a comprehensive and complete source o...
متن کاملSpecialization and Efficiency with Labor-Market Matching∗
This paper constructs a labor-market matching model with heterogeneous workers. Due to matching frictions, there may be a mismatch of talents within a production team, forcing a worker to specialize in a task at which she is not talented. We consider a partnership model where production takes place in teams consisting of two workers. We characterize the steadystate of the matching equilibrium. ...
