An Empirical Model of Employed Search, Unemployed Search, and Nonsearch Journal of Human Resources 19,1 (Winter 1983): 104-117. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145419 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Collective Bargaining; Employment; Job Search; Public Sector; Unemployment; Wages The 1969-1971 NLS of Young Men were used to study the employed worker's choice among employed search, unemployed search, and not searching for a new job. It was assumed that an unobserved variable, search intensity, governs this choice such that unemployed search involves a greater intensity than employed search, which, of course, is associated with greater intensity than nonsearch. The principal results are that current wages, seniority, collective bargaining coverage, employment outside construction, and employment by government are each, ceteris paribus, negatively associated with search intensity. Further, each of these variables lowers the probability of not searching and raises the probabilities of employed and unemployed job search. |
