  • On the Job Search and Business Cycles

    Giuseppe Moscarini, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLERevue économique2024References: 4

    Nous proposons une analyse simple du cycle économique dans un modèle où les travailleurs employés comme les chômeurs cherchent des emplois en présence de frictions d’appariement. Une hiérarchie des emplois découle de leurs productivités hétérogènes. Les entreprises se font concurrence à la Bertrand pour attirer les travailleurs, suivant le protocole d’enchères séquentielles de Postel-Vinay et Robin [2002]. La recherche en emploi (REE) amplifie et…

  • Multidimensional Sorting under Random Search

    Ilse Lindenlaub, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2023References: 3

    We analyze sorting in a frictional labor market when workers and jobs have multidimensional characteristics. We say that matching is positive assortative in dimension (j, k) if workers with higher endowment in skill k are matched to a job distribution with higher values of attribute j in the first-order stochastic dominance sense. Crucial for sorting is a single-crossing property of technology. Sorting is positive between worker-job attributes wi…

  • Labour Mobility and Earnings in the Uk, 1992–2017

    Open AccessFabien Postel‐Vinay, Fabien Postel-Vinay et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2023Cited by: 3References: 1

    We combine information from the British Household Panel Study and the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study (also known as Understanding Society) to construct consistent time series of aggregate worker stocks, worker flows and earnings in the United Kingdom over the period 1992–2017. We propose a method to harmonise data between the British Household Panel Study and United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study, which we validate by checking …

  • Did the Job Ladder Fail after the Great Recession

    Giuseppe Moscarini, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEJournal of Labor Economics2015

    We study employment reallocation across employers through the lens ofa dynamic job ladder model. Workers always agree on a ranking ofemployers at all points in time and search for better jobs both offand on the job. A parsimonious version of the model fits well the timeseries of gross worker flows by employer size from newly available USdata from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Focusing on the US experience in and around the Great Rec…

  • Dynamic aid allocation

    Open AccessPatrick Carter, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEJournal of International Economics2014

    This paper introduces a framework for studying the optimal dynamic allocation of foreign aid among multiple recipients. We pose the problem as one of weighted global welfare maximization. A donor in the North chooses an optimal path for international transfers, anticipating that consumption and investment decisions will be made by optimizing households in the South, and accounting for limits in the extent to which recipients can effectively absor…

  • The lifetime earnings premium in the public sector

    Open AccessMatt Dickson, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLELabour Economics2014

    In a context of widespread concern about budget deficits, it is important to assess whether public sector pay is in line with the private sector. Our paper proposes an estimation of differences in lifetime values of employment between public and private sectors for five European countries. We use data from the European Community Household Panel over the period 1994–2001 for Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy and Spain. We look at lifetime va…

  • The Impact of Firing Restrictions on Labour Market Equilibrium in the Presence of On‐the‐job Search

    Open AccessFabien Postel‐Vinay, Fabien Postel-Vinay et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2014Cited by: 1References: 21

    Job-to-job turnover provides a way for employers to escape statutory firing costs, as unprofitable workers may willfully quit their job on receiving an outside offer, or may be induced to accept one that they would otherwise reject with a negotiated severance package. We formalise those mechanisms within an extension of the Diamond–Mortensen–Pissarides model that allows for employed job search. We find that our model explains why higher firing co…

  • The Contribution of Large and Small Employers to Job Creation in Times of High and Low Unemployment

    Giuseppe Moscarini, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEAmerican Economic Review2012

    We document a negative correlation, at business cycle frequencies, between the net job creation rate of large employers and the level of aggregate unemployment that is much stronger than for small employers. The differential growth rate of employment between initially large and small employers has an unconditional correlation of —0.5 with the unemployment rate, and varies by about 5 percent over the business cycle. We exploit several datasets fro…

  • Wage Bargaining with On-the-Job Search

    Open AccessPierre Cahuc, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEEconometrica2006

    Most applications of Nash bargaining over wages ignore between-employer competition for labor services and attribute all of the workers' rent to their bargaining power. In this paper, we write and estimate an equilibrium model with strategic wage bargaining and on-the-job search and use it to take another look at the determinants of wages in France. There are three essential determinants of wages in our model: productivity, competition between em…

  • Job Security and Job Protection

    Andrew E Clark, Andrew Clark et al.ARTICLEOxford Economic Papers2005

  • The European Job Security Gap

    Open AccessÉric Maurin, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEWork and Occupations2005Cited by: 19References: 2

    The authors use a large-scale data set covering 13 European countries during the period 1995 to 2001 to compare trends in cross-skill inequalities in terms of wages and exposure to insecure job positions. Cross-country comparisons of these two facets of inequality show that (a) higher wage gaps generally come along with lower job security gaps and (b) job security represents the main lever for adjustment to macroeconomic changes in most European …

  • Comment les salariés perçoivent-ils la protection de l'emploi

    Open AccessFabien Postel‐Vinay, Fabien Postel-Vinay et al.ARTICLEEconomie et Statistique /…2004Cited by: 5

    Wie empfinden die Arbeitnehmer den Schutz des Arbeitsplatzes? Anhand des europäischen Panels von 1999 und der Erhebung «Work Orientations» des ISSP (International Social Survey Programme) von 1997 werden verschiedene Indikatoren über die gefühlte Arbeitsplatzsicherheit für 23 OECD-Länder erstellt, die danach mit bestimmten synthetischen Messungen der Merkmale der Institutionen verglichen werden, die für die Arbeitsmärkte dieser Länder zuständig s…

  • Insécurité de l'emploi

    Open AccessLuc Behaghel, Fabien Postel‐Vinay et al.ARTICLEEconomie et Statistique /…2003Cited by: 7

    Unsicherheit des Arbeitsplatzes: hat die Betriebszugehörigkeit in Frankreich noch die gleiche Schutzfunktion? Die Unsicherheit des Arbeitsplatzes, die durch die Quote des jährlichen Übergangs von der Erwerbstätigkeit zur Erwerbslosigkeit gemessen wird, hat zwischen 1975 und 2000 in Frankreich erheblich zugenommen. Im Gegensatz zu der in den Vereinigten Staaten beobachteten Entwicklung wurden dabei aber die Arbeitnehmer mit medianer Dienstzugehöri…

  • Equilibrium Wage Dispersion with Worker and Employer Heterogeneity

    Fabien Postel‐Vinay, Fabien Postel-Vinay et al.ARTICLEEconometrica2002

    We construct and estimate an equilibrium search model with on–the–job–search. Firms make take–it–or–leave–it wage offers to workers conditional on their characteristics and they can respond to the outside job offers received by their employees. Unobserved worker productive heterogeneity is introduced in the form of cross–worker differences in a “competence” parameter. On the other side of the market, firms also are heterogeneous with respect to t…

  • Progrès technique, emploi et exclusion du marché du travail

    Pierre Cahuc, Pierre Granier et al.ARTICLERevue économique1999

    Progrès technique, emploi et exclusion du marché du travail Cet article étudie l'impact de la croissance sur l'emploi, le chômage et l'exclusion du marché du travail dans un cadre où les chômeurs subissent des pertes de capital humain relativement aux travailleurs employés, de telle sorte que, s'ils dépassent une certaine ancienneté dans le chômage, ils peuvent devenir inemployables. Les interdépendances entre le processus de déclassement des chô…
