Abstract | A number of hypotheses concerning the job search behavior of unemployed workers are tested in this study. The empirical literature on unemployment is reviewed and data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Force Behavior panels of young men (aged 14 to 24 in 1966) and middle-aged men (aged 45 to 59) are analyzed. Variables examined include duration of search; return to search; wage offer level; probability of receiving an offer; search cost; and length of horizon. The unemployment duration model and the acceptance wage model are presented and discussed in terms of these variables. Transition rate (i.e., the probability of moving from unemployed to employed status) is analyzed. Findings are summarized both from a policy perspective and as an indication of the efficacy of the hypotheses tested, and directions for future research are suggested. (Author/MC) |
