The Economics of Youth Job Search Behavior
The Review of Economics and Statistics
1976
A main goal of this empirical analysis of job search behavior is to test several hypotheses of the theoretical and empirical job search literature using observations on unemployed young men. Better understanding of job search differences between white and black youth is a secondary goal. Four main areas are examined which comprise the endogenous variables in a simultaneous-equation model of youth job search behavior: the direct cost of job search, the duration of unemployment, the relative reservation wage, and the anticipated time on the new job.
