Investment Incentives in Labor Market Matching
In recent years, economists have become increasingly involved in the design of labor market clearinghouses. The design of a marketclearing mechanism affects not only the ex post allocation but also individuals’ ex ante choices, such as those regarding the amounts and types of human capital to acquire. In this paper, we provide an illustration of how the design of labor market–clearing mechanism...
متن کاملSpecialization and Efficiency with Labor-Market Matching∗
This paper constructs a labor-market matching model with heterogeneous workers. Due to matching frictions, there may be a mismatch of talents within a production team, forcing a worker to specialize in a task at which she is not talented. We consider a partnership model where production takes place in teams consisting of two workers. We characterize the steadystate of the matching equilibrium. ...
متن کاملObservational learning under imperfect information
The analysis explores Bayes-rational sequential decision making in a game with pure information externalities, where each decision maker observes only her predecessor’s binary action. Under perfect information the martingale property of the stochastic learning process is used to establish convergence of beliefs and actions. Under imperfect information, in contrast, beliefs and actions cycle for...
متن کاملMinimumWage Effects on Labor Market Outcomes under Search, Matching, and Endogenous Contact Rates1
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 ...
متن کاملGenetic information, obesity, and labor market outcomes.
Economists have argued that obesity may lead to worse labor market outcomes, especially for women. Empirical methods to test this hypothesis have not thus far adequately controlled for the endogeneity of obesity. We use variation in genotype to predict variation in phenotype (obesity). Genetic information from specific genes linked to obesity in the biomedical literature provides strong exogeno...
