Externalities in the matching of workers and firms in
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide empirical evidence on the nature of spatial externalities in a matching model for the UK. We use a monthly panel of outflows, unemployment and vacancy stocks data from the registers at Jobcentres in the UK; these are mapped on to travel-to-work areas. We find evidence of significant spill-over effects that are generally in line with the predictions of theory. For example, we find that conditional on local labour market conditions, high unemployment levels in neighbouring areas raise the number of local filled vacancies but lower the local outflow from unemployment.

Many-to-one matching markets with externalities among firms
We study a labor market described by a many-to-one matching market with externalities among firms in which each firm’s preferences depend not only on workers whom it hires, but also on workers whom its rival firms hire. We define a new stability concept called weak stability and investigate its existence problem.We show thatwhen the preferences of firms satisfy an extension of substitutability ...
متن کاملWage bargaining and turnover costs with heterogeneous labor and asymmetric information
We study a model of individual wage bargaining between heterogeneous workers and firms, with instantaneous matching, free firm entry, workers’ individual productivities are discovered by firms only after being hired, and it is expensive for firms to hire and fire workers. We show that inefficiencies due to bargaining and externalities in the matching process lead firms to employ too few worker ...

متن کاملA modified deferred acceptance algorithm for many-to-one matching markets with externalities among firms
We consider a many-to-one matching market with externalities among firms where each firm’s preferences satisfy substitutability, increasing choice and no external effect by unchosen workers, which are defined by Bando (2012). We first illustrate that a sequential version of the deferred acceptance (DA) algorithmwithworker-proposingmay not find aworker-optimal quasi stablematching. Then,we provi...
متن کاملWhy Are Similar Workers Paid Differently? The Role of Social Networks
Why Are Similar Workers Paid Differently? The Role of Social Networks We provide a matching model where identical workers are embedded in ex-ante identical social networks. Job arrival rate is endogenous and wages are bargained. We study the evolution of networks over time and characterize the equilibrium distribution of unemployment rates across networks. We emphasize that wage dispersion aris...
