We study the influence of social networks on labor market transitions. We develop the first model where social ties and job status coevolve through time. Our key assumption is that the probability of formation of a new tie is greater between two employed individuals than between an employed and an unemployed individual. We show that this assumption generates negative duration dependence of exit...

Building upon a continuous-time model of search with Nash bargaining in a stationary environment, we analyze the effect of changes in minimum wages on labor market outcomes and welfare. While minimum wage increases may or may not lead to increases in unemployment in our model, they can be welfare-improving to labor market participants on both the supply and demand sides of the labor market. We ...

We study differences in behavior across countries in a labor market context. To this end, we conducted a bilateral gift-exchange experiment comparing the behavior of subjects from five high-income OECD countries: Germany, Spain, Israel, Japan and the USA. We observe that in all countries, effort levels are increasing while rejection rates are decreasing in wage offers. However, we also find con...

Abstract Introduction Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) should be prescribed standard-dose (5mg twice daily) apixaban for stroke prevention unless they meet 2 or more criteria: age ≥80, weight ≤60kg, and/or creatinine ≤1.5mg/dL, in which case a reduced-dose (2.5mg is indicated. Despite this, some clinicians may also prescribe to patients who do not criteria dose reduction, an effort reduce...
