matching – Suchprozesse am Arbeitsmarkt
Offene Stellen bei gleichzeitiger Arbeitslosigkeit - was Arbeitsmarkttheorien u. a. mit "unvollkommener Information" begründen, ist für Unternehmen und Arbeitsuchende oft nur schwer nachzuvollziehen: Unternehmen können freie Stellen nicht besetzen, trotzdem finden Arbeitsuchende nur schwer den passenden Job. Wie gestalten sich die Suchprozesse bei Unternehmen und Arbeitsuchenden, welche Konzessionen sind beide Seiten bereit einzugehen, wie lässt sich das "matching" verbessern?
Diese Infoplattform bietet wissenschaftliche Literatur zur theoretischen und empirischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema.

The effects of savings on reservation wages and search effort (2014)
Lammers, Marloes;Zitatform
Lammers, Marloes (2014): The effects of savings on reservation wages and search effort. In: Labour economics, Jg. 27, H. April, S. 83-98. DOI:10.1016/j.labeco.2014.03.001
Abstract
"This paper discusses the interrelations among wealth, reservation wages and search effort. A theoretical job search model predicts wealth to affect reservation wages positively, and search effort negatively. Subsequently, reduced form equations for reservation wages and search intensity take these theoretical results to the data. The data used is a Dutch panel, containing detailed information on individual wealth and income, subjective reservation wages and proxies for search effort. The main empirical results show that wealth has a significantly positive effect on reservation wages of both household heads and spouses, and a significantly negative effect on the search effort of household heads."

Abstract
"Was zeichnet schwierige Stellenbesetzungen bei der betrieblichen Personalsuche aus? Welche Rolle spielen dabei soziale Netzwerke - also Freunde, Verwandte und andere persönliche Kontakte? Sind Jobs, die über soziale Netzwerke gefunden wurden, tatsächlich 'bessere' Jobs? Und welche Vorteile haben Betriebe, die ihr Personal über soziale Netzwerke rekrutieren? Diesen Fragen geht Martina Rebien in ihrer Dissertationsschrift nach. Sie legt dar, dass einige gängige Annahmen über Schwierigkeiten bei der Stellenbesetzung und über die Bedeutung sozialer Netzwerke am Arbeitsmarkt einer tieferen empirischen Überprüfung nicht standhalten."

Abstract
"In der Theorie sollte jede offene Stelle über kurz oder lang durch eine geeignete Arbeitskraft besetzt werden. Aus empirischer Sicht zeigt sich jedoch, dass offene Stellen unbesetzt bleiben, wenn Firmen die Suche nach einem geeigneten Kandidaten aufgeben.
Die IAB-Stellenerhebung (IAB-SE) ist eine repräsentative Betriebsbefragung zu offenen Stellen und Stellenbesetzungsprozessen in Deutschland. Sie bietet Informationen sowohl zu aktuellen Stellenbesetzungen als auch zu erfolgloser Bewerbersuche. Die Analyse stützt sich dabei auf eine binäre abhängige Variable die für einen bestimmten Betrieb die erfolgreiche und nicht erfolgreiche Personalsuche identifiziert (Abbruchwahrscheinlichkeit).
Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine längere Dauer der Personalsuche zu einer höheren Wahrscheinlichkeit von Abbrüchen führt. Zudem wird deutlich, dass ein Abbruch der Personalsuche stark mit den Anforderungen, die ein Kandidat für die offene Stelle aufweisen muss und der Art und Weise wie die Personalsuche organisiert ist, zusammenhängt."

Sullivan, Paul & Ted To (2014): Search and nonwage job characteristics. In: The Journal of Human Resources, Jg. 49, H. 2, S. 472-507.
Abstract
"This paper quantifies the importance of nonwage job characteristics to workers by estimating a structural on- the- job search model. The model generalizes the standard search framework by allowing workers to search for jobs based on both wages and job- specific nonwage utility flows. Within the structure of the search model, data on accepted wages and wage changes at job transitions identify the importance of nonwage utility through revealed preference. The estimates reveal that utility from nonwage job characteristics plays an important role in determining job mobility, the value of jobs to workers, and the gains from job search."

Abstract
"Self Determination Theory (SDT) predicts that employees who use controlled motivation to search for alternate (better) work are less successful than their counterparts who use autonomous motivation. Using Australian labour market data, we find strong support for SDT. We find that workers who face externally regulated pressures (pressure arising from involuntary part-time or casual labour contracts) to search for alternate employment are less likely to find better work, than workers who use autonomous motives to search for work. Our findings suggest that labour market policies trending towards 'labour market flexibility/deregulation' - which provide workers with controlled motives to search for work - will contribute to workers cycling through spells of insecure employment and possibly intermittent spells of unemployment with no realistic prospect of career development."

Abstract
"In this article, we consider the impact of personal contacts on the labor market outcome. Unlike previous studies, we do not assume any particular network structure or vacancies communication protocol. Instead, we state three general properties of matching functions that allow us to establish the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium and characterize the impact of social ties on the labor market. In particular, we show that a monotonically increasing matching function in socialization level is a necessary and sufficient condition for having monotonically decreasing unemployment and increasing wage and market tightness. However, the same does not apply to vacancy rate. We establish a condition under which a monotonically increasing matching function produces a vacancy rate that first increases in socialization level, but then decreases."

Monitoring job search effort with hyperbolic time preferences and non-compliance: a welfare analysis (2013)

Cockx, Bart, Corinna Ghirelli & Bruno Van der Linden (2013): Monitoring job search effort with hyperbolic time preferences and non-compliance. A welfare analysis. (IZA discussion paper 7266), Bonn, 42 S.
Abstract
"This paper develops a partial equilibrium job search model to study the behavioral and welfare implications of an Unemployment Insurance (UI) scheme in which job search requirements are imposed on UI recipients with hyperbolic preferences. We show that, if the search requirements are well chosen, a perfect monitoring scheme can in principle increase the job finding rate and, contrary to what happens with exponential discounting, it can raise the expected lifetime utility of the current and future selves of sophisticated hyperbolic discounters. The same holds for naive agents if the welfare criterion ignores their misperception problem. In sum, introducing a perfect monitoring scheme can be a Pareto improvement. However, if claimants have the opportunity to withdraw from the UI scheme, their long-run utility can even be lower than in the absence of job search requirements. Imperfections in the measurement of job-search effort further reduce the chances that monitoring raises the welfare of the unemployed." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Discouraged and marginally attached workers have received increasing attention from policy makers over the past several years. Through slackness in the labor market, periods of high unemployment should reduce the likelihood of receiving a job offer and thus create more discouraged workers. However, the existing literature generally fails to find evidence of such pro-cyclicality in search intensity. Surprisingly, search appears to be acyclical. We hypothesize the observed acyclicality may be the result of coarse measurement of search intensity in previous studies and the failure to account for changes in individuals' wealth across the business cycle. In this paper we use daily time use dairies from the American Time Use Survey 2003 - 2011 to examine the cyclicality of search intensity to explain this apparent contradiction between theory and data. Results indicate that workers do reduce their search in response to deteriorating labor market conditions, but these effects appear to be offset by the positive effects on search that are correlated with declines in household wealth."

The matching function: a selection-based interpretation (2013)

Kohlbrecher, Britta, Christian Merkl & Daniela Nordmeier (2013): The matching function. A selection-based interpretation. (LASER discussion papers 70), Erlangen, 33 S.
Abstract
"This paper reconsiders the matching function. In a first step, we estimate an aggregate matching function with German administrative data. Our results provide renewed evidence for a Cobb-Douglas matching function with constant returns to scale. Relying on restricted matching elasticities, we further show that it is important to control for various heterogeneities in the aggregate job finding rate. In a second step, we derive a simple labor selection model where vacancies do not have any aggregate effects, but appear as a worker attraction device. When we simulate this model for the German economy and estimate a matching function from the generated data, we also obtain evidence for a Cobb-Douglas function with constant returns to scale. In this fictional matching function, the elasticity of matches with respect to vacancies is a function of the exogenous contact probability. Thus, our paper suggests that the empirical evidence of the matching function may have a completely different interpretation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The goal of the paper is to investigate how reservation wages of older unemployed welfare recipients change once they are no longer subject to standard job search requirements. The authors apply a regression discontinuity design. Consistent with theoretical predictions, the authors' findings indicate that eliminating job search requirements will tend to increase reservation wages. The results correspond to previous findings in the literature that monitoring leads to lower accepted wages and increased exits rates from unemployment, and that it may be a successful policy measure to keep older workers in the labor market. Monitoring of job search effort has been shown to be an effective method of activating unemployed people, but little evidence has been found on the effect of activation measures on older workers."

Abstract
"We analyze a general search model with on-the-job search and sorting of heterogeneous workers into heterogeneous jobs. This model yields a simple relationship between (i) the unemployment rate, (ii) the value of non-market time, and (iii) the max-mean wage differential. The latter measure of wage dispersion is more robust than measures based on the reservation wage, due to the long left tail of the wage distribution. We estimate this wage differential using data on match quality and allow for measurement error. The estimated wage dispersion and mismatch for the US is consistent with an unemployment rate of 4-6%. We find that without search frictions, output would be between 7.5% and 18.5% higher, depending on whether or not firms can ex ante commit to wage payments." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper considers a matching model of the labor market where workers, who have private information on their quality, signal to firms that also differ in quality. Signals allow assortative matching in which the highest-quality workers send the highest signals and are hired by the best firms. Matching is considered both when wages are rigid (nontransferable utility) and when they are fully flexible (transferable utility). In both cases, equilibrium strategies and payoffs depend on the distributions of worker and firm types. This is in contrast to separating equilibria of the standard model, which do not respond to changes in supply or demand. With sticky wages, despite incomplete information, equilibrium investment in education by low-ability workers can be inefficiently low, and this distortion can become worse in a more competitive environment. In contrast, with flexible wages, greater competition improves efficiency." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Firms select not only how many, but also which workers to hire. Yet, in standard search models of the labor market, all workers have the same probability of being hired. We argue that selective hiring crucially affects welfare analysis. Our model is isomorphic to a search model under random hiring but allows for selective hiring. With selective hiring, the positive predictions of the model change very little, but the welfare costs of unemployment are much larger because unemployment risk is distributed unequally across workers. As a result, optimal unemployment insurance may be higher and welfare is lower if hiring is selective." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper proposes a search-and-matching model of unemployment in which jobs are rationed: the labor market does not clear in the absence of matching frictions. This job shortage arises in an economic equilibrium from the combination of some wage rigidity and diminishing marginal returns to labor. In recessions, job rationing is acute, driving the rise in unemployment, whereas matching frictions contribute little to unemployment. Intuitively in recessions, jobs are lacking, the labor market is slack, and recruiting is easy and inexpensive, so matching frictions do not matter much. In a calibrated model, cyclical fluctuations in the composition of unemployment are large." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Verbindungen zwischen ähnlichen Subjekten sind ein häufig beobachtetes Phänomen. Damit solche Sortierungen in einem Suchmodell auftreten, müssen oft jedoch überraschend starke Bedingungen erfüllt sein. Diese Studie zeigt, dass ein um Signale erweitertes Suchmodell sogar vollkommene Sortierungen unter schwachen Bedingungen generieren kann: Supermodularität der Produktionsfunktion für die Verbindung ist notwendige und hinreichende Bedingung. Sie wirkt zugleich als Ursprung der Sortierung und als 'single-crossing'-Eigenschaft, die die Subjekte zutreffende Signale wählen lässt. Die dadurch verbreiteten Informationen erlauben es den Subjekten, alle unnötigen Kosten einer zufallsgeleiteten Suche zu vermeiden, so dass effektiv eine Umgebung ohne Friktionen entsteht. Daher zeichnet sich das einzige Separationsgleichgewicht des Modells durch nahezu uneingeschränkte Effizienz trotz Friktionen aus." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"This paper aims to analyze the role of social networks on the job search choices of the unemployed. If social networks convey useful information in the job search process, individuals with larger networks should experience a higher productivity of informal search channels. This in turn affects the choice of formal search intensity and the reservation wage. The paper seeks to test these search-theoretic implications of productive social networks empirically. The authors use the IZA Evaluation Dataset containing detailed information on job search behavior of recently unemployed individuals. Observing a rich array of personality traits and direct measures of the social network, the authors choose an identification approach based on observable characteristics using least squares and binary probit regression analysis. The findings confirm theoretical expectations. Individuals with larger networks use informal search channels more often and shift from formal to informal search. In addition to that, evidence is found for a positive relationship between network size and reservation wages. The extent to which networks are used during job search most likely also depends on the quality of the network, which cannot be observed in the data. However, as the network significantly changes the observable formal job search effort of individuals, public job search monitoring policies should take these effects into account. The paper complements the previous body of literature on the role of social networks in the labor market that predominantly focuses on labor market outcomes. By highlighting the interaction between networks and job search choices the paper improves the understanding of realized labor market outcomes in the presence of networks."

Abstract
"The importance of referral hiring, which is workers finding employment via social contacts, is nowadays an empirically well documented fact. It also has been shown that social networks for finding jobs can create stratification. These analyses are, by and large, based on exogenous network structures. We go beyond the existing work by building an agent-based model of the labor market in which the social network of potential referees is endogenous. Workers invest some of their endowments into building up and fostering their social networks as an insurance device against future job losses. We look into the manner in which social networks and inequality respond to increased uncertainty in the labor market. We find that larger variability in firms' labor demand reduces workers' efforts put into social networks, leading to lower inequality." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"In the United States, labor's share of income falls after a positive disturbance to productivity growth or inflation, and it remains low for some time. Previous researchers have argued that the negative relationship between productivity growth and labor's share is puzzling. I argue otherwise. A search and matching model with infrequently bargained nominal wages would predict the observed behavior of labor's share after a productivity disturbance, and it also predicts the observed behavior of labor's share after an inflationary disturbance. Wages at the macroeconomic level seem to be sticky in a way which is consistent with microeconomic evidence; much of the ongoing discussion about the real effects of sticky wages seems to be well-motivated, while sticky price models fail to match the data."

Abstract
"The evaluative function of local public actors has been exacerbated in recent years with the individualisation of social policies. One of their tasks is to select the appropriate informational basis in order to assess welfare claimants. Amartya Sen's capability approach offers a theoretical and normative framework to analyse this evaluative function. In particular, it insists on the importance of 'objectivating' people's preferences with reference to their capabilities. The weight that is to be attached to individual preferences in the course of public action can be a matter of controversy. Claimants 'capability for voice', we argue, should be developed. This capability refers to their effective possibility to express their concerns with regard to the choice of the informational basis. It is argued that local institutions prohibiting capability for voice will produce adaptive preferences, whereas procedural institutions promoting reflexive public evaluation and capability for voice will result in a fairer wording of individual preferences. At a situated level, the way to connect subjective and objective information when assessing people very much depends on the position of the evaluator. Several illustrations show that the fairness of evaluation, and its impact on the people's capability set, depend on this positional perspective." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

"Arbeitslose verbessern durch aktive Jobsuche ihre Vermittlungschance, doch der Schluß, daß aktive Jobsuche die aggregierte Arbeitslosigkeit reduziert, beruht auf einer fallacy of composition. Der Arbeitslosenpool besteht aus heterogenen Typen, deren typspezifische Übergangsraten unterschiedlich auf die Zahl der aktiven Jobsucher unter den konkurrierenden Arbeitslosengruppen und die Zahl der offerierten Vakanzen reagieren. Das Modell zeigt, warum Arbeitsmarktpolitik, die darauf zielt, mit Suchvorschriften oder Wiederbeschäftigungsprämien die Anzahl der aktiven Jobsucher unter den Arbeitslosen zu erhöhen, die aggregierte Arbeitslosigkeit steigern kann."
