Abstract

This paper provides new developments in job search theory, incorporating a duality in search strategies which compose the offer rate. Two strategies are modelled. A first one, called passive strategy, consists in searching exclusively in the spatial area of the public employment agency. The alternative strategy allows to extend search area, using other media, like networks or advertisements. Introducing this duality leads us to ambiguous effects of search strategies on the theoretical exit rate. A micro-econometric estimation allows us to overcome this difficulty. A two-step method is chosen in order to, first, study the strategies’ selection rule and, second, to take into account multiple destinations after unemployment and possible unobserved heterogeneity in the duration model. Results highlight the selectivity of the search strategies’ choice, in particular the role of spatial constraints. Besides, they conclude to discriminate impacts of job search strategies on exit rates, according to the job found. Dans cet article, deux stratégies de recherche d’emploi concurrentes sont introduites comme facteurs explicatifs du taux de sortie du chômage. Le modèle de prospection en équilibre partiel construit oppose une première stratégie consistant à limiter la zone de recherche à la zone de compétence de l’agence publique pour l’emploi à une stratégie alternative, plus coûteuse, qui permet, à travers la mobilisation des procédures marchandes et du réseau social, d’élargir l’horizon spatial de la recherche. L’introduction de cette dualité des stratégies de recherche dans le cadre d’un modèle de recherche à environnement stationnaire fait apparaître à l’équilibre des effets théoriques ambigus sur la durée d’accès à l’emploi. L’estimation économétrique de la fonction de vraisemblance associée à l’expression du taux de sortie du chômage vise à lever cette ambiguité. Réalisée en deux étapes afin de contrôler la sélectivité du choix des stratégies de prospection, notamment l’ef
