In this paper I study a new amplification mechanism in search models that arises when workers can choose to search on the job and, despite the fact that all workers are ex-ante identical, employers prefer to hire already employed workers for endogenous reasons. The motivation for on-the-job search in the model is job-shopping, where workers look for jobs they find appealing, and the appeal of a...

This paper is about the labour market consequences of creative destruction with on-the-job search. We consider a matching model in an economy with embodied technological progress and show that its dynamics are profoundly affected by allowing on-the-job search. We obtain that the elasticity of unemployment with respect to growth shrinks from 1.63 to 0.13. Moreover, the underlying transmission ch...

On the job search is a key feature of real life labor markets. Yet, traditional equilibrium unemployment theory has not been able to account for on-thejob search in a satisfactory manner. In this paper we present an equilibrium model which includes on-thejob search as an optimal response to search frictions and differences in firm productivity. Our model is laid out in detail in ongoing researc...

Despite widespread popular concern about what it means to be over 40 and unemployed, little attention has been paid in the literature to clarifying the role of age within the job seeking experience. Extending theory, we propose mechanisms by which chronological age affects job search and reemployment outcomes after job loss. Through a meta-analysis and examination of 2 supplemental datasets, we...

The academic job search process, and the applications and reference letters that are constitutive elements of that process, are central to the creation and re-creation of a discipline. Disciplines and departments renew and re-create themselves—or do not, and merely replicate themselves—through hirings. A job search process can serve to hinder changes in the membership, culture, “look,” and the ...
