Worker Reallocation over the Business Cycle: The Importance of Job-to-Job Transitions
In this paper I study the prevalence and cyclicality of job-to-job transitions using two micro datasets that allow one to identify workers who move from one job to another without an intervening spell of unemployment. I find that job-to-job flows are vast. More than half of all prime-age full-time workers who separate from their employer between two monthly interviews are employed in the second...
متن کاملJob Search Behavior over the Business Cycle
We create a novel measure of job search effort starting in 1994 by exploiting the overlap between the Current Population Survey and the American Time Use Survey. We examine the cyclical behavior of aggregate job search effort using time series and cross-state variation and find that it is countercyclical. About half of the countercyclical movement is explained by a cyclical shift in the observa...

In this article, we investigate the impact of job displacement on women's first-birth rates as well as the variation in this effect over the business cycle. We use mass layoffs to estimate the causal effects of involuntary job loss on fertility in the short and medium term, up to five years after displacement. Our analysis is based on rich administrative data from Germany, with an observation p...
متن کاملOnline Appendix Job Search Behavior over the Business Cycle
This appendix describes the data sources used in this analysis in greater detail. From the ATUS, we use the Multi-Year microdata files. The advantage to using the multi-year files as opposed to the individual year files is that they provide consistent population weights across years. However, this comes at the cost of slightly less detailed job search categories. As explained in Section 2.1, we...
متن کاملBusiness cycle fluctuations and the life cycle: How important is on-the-job skill accumulation?
We study the e¤ects of on-the-job skill accumulation on average hours worked by age and the volatility of hours over the life cycle in a calibrated general equilibrium model. Two forms of skill accumulation are considered: learning by doing and on-the-job training. In our economy with learning by doing, individuals supply more labor early in the life cycle and less as they approach retirement t...
