The relationship between labour demand and job-to-job movement is investigated, both theoretically and empirically, at the macro level. It concentrates on the role of the employment regime (hiring, do-nothing or ® ring) and the hiring and ® ring costs. The exact upper bounds of the marginal hiring costs of an employed worker are derived, for which job mobility between two ® rms yields a positiv...

Selecting more effective teachers among job applicants during the hiring process could be a highly cost-effective means of improving educational quality, but there is little research that links information gathered during the hiring process to subsequent teacher performance. We study the relationship among applicant characteristics, hiring outcomes, and teacher performance in Washington DC Publ...

Science faculty with education specialties (SFES) are increasingly being hired across the United States. However, little is known about the motivations for SFES hiring or the potential or actual impact of this trend. In the context of a recent national survey of US SFES, we investigated SFES perceptions about these issues. Strikingly, their perceptions about the reasons for hiring SFES were poo...

This study aims to understand how characteristics of a labor flow network affect firm productivity using an inter-firm hiring network constructed from individual job histories. We separate IT-labor from non-IT labor and use the network measures constructed from the two types of labor flow to evaluate how they affect firm performance. We find that hiring IT workers from a diverse set of firms ca...

The hiring problem is a recent research problem, which has been introduced and studied first by Broder et al. [2] in 2008. It belongs to the category of on-line decision making under uncertainty. In such kind of research, the input is a sequence of instances and a decision must be taken for each instance depending on the instances seen so far while no information on the future is available. The...
