Information Externalities in the Labour Market and the Duration of Unemployment Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Lockwood, Ben
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
A matching model is analyzed in which firms imperfectly test workers prior to hiring them. If (some) firms hire only workers who pass the test, there is an informational externality; unemployment duration is a signal of productivity. In equilibrium, if it is profitable for a firm to test, it is also profitable for it to condition its hiring decision on duration, hiring those whose duration is less a than critical value. Sensitivity analysis of the latter suggests explanations for the dependence of reemployment probabilities on duration and the instability of the U-V curve.
