A Dynamic Model of Union Membership and Employment
This paper incorporates the ideas that a union maximizes an intertemporal objective function, that it recognizes some link between present wage and employment levels and future membership, and that it has an interest in the level of membership attained. The authors model membership decisions with stochastic demand and a differential layoff rate for union and nonunion workers. Membership dynamics are behavioral in that membership increases when th…
Employment Flows and Job Tenure in Canada
Data from Canada's 1986-87 Labour Market Activity Survey (LMAS) are used to study the pattern of employment flows, and to construct various estimates of average job duration. A subsample of 58, 458 observed jobs are classified according to their start dates and their termination date, if any. Thus our sample consists of both completed and censored employment spells. In the case of terminations, data are available on the reason for employment endi…
Empirical Labor Economics
This book is suitable for graduates taking courses in labour economics which use a search approach. The economics of search has become a part of the standard graduate curriculum and deals with the costs and benefits to individual workers - either employed or unemployed - of seeking a job with the highest possible pay. This book surveys the empirical literature on the economics of search in a systematic manner
Labour Market Participation in Matching Equilibrium
This paper uses ideas developed recently in models of equilibrium search to consider the participation decision of workers who have different preferences for leisure. The matching process is random, the production process deterministic, and wages are determined by a Nash bargain among participants. In steady-state equilibrium, the number of participants is inefficient due to externalities resulting from private decisions. A condition for efficien…

Consumer Search with Uncertain Product Quality
This paper presents a unified model of consumer search when both prices and qualities are uncertain. It is assumed that price can be observed prior to purchase but that quality can be observed only after purchase and experience. This two-stage decision problem is of particular interest since, in practice, there is usually some connection between quality and price. Of the many interesting implications of this dependence explored in this paper is t…
To Move or Not to Move
There is now a voluminous, and rapidly expanding, literature on the economics of job search. Throughout this extensive literature there are two basic underlying assumptions. First, the process of indulging in search (that is, of obtaining job offers) is assumed to be costly. This is the case whether the model is concerned with off-the-job search (that is, search by unemployed workers) or with on-the-job search (that is, search by employed workers…
