Job Market Signaling and Employer Learning This paper extends the job market signaling model of Spence (1973) by allowing firms to learn the ability of their employees over time. Contrary to the model without employer learning, we find that the Intuitive Criterion does not always select a unique separating equilibrium. When the Intuitive Criterion bites and information is purely asymmetric, the...

This paper takes a new approach to testing whether employer learning is public or private.

Using the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) merged with the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY...
