Job Match Quality over the Business Cycle In: Panel Data and Labour Market Dynamics. H. Bunzel, et al., eds. London, England: North-Holland, 1993: pp. 21-42 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Business Cycles; Job Patterns; Job Tenure; Job Turnover; Mobility, Labor Market; Modeling; Unemployment Rate; Wage Dynamics; Wage Levels Does the business cycle have an impact on job-matching, specifically on the quality of job matches? Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data to capture match quality at the individual level, I attempt to answer this question. Job tenure is used as a quality indicator under the Jovanovic (1979) model where matches are experience goods. Starting wages are also examined. Both local and national unemployment rates are used as cyclical indicators. The finding is a negative cyclical impact on both job match quality indicators. Thus during recessions individuals take jobs that are lower paying and dissolve quicker. |
