Marcus Hagedorn,Iourii Manovskii +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposed a new calibration strategy of the standard search model that uses data on the cost of vacancy creation and cyclicality of wages to identify the two key parameters - the value of nonmarket activity and the bargaining weights.
Beyond Becker: Training in Imperfect Labour Markets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey noncompetitive theories of training and draw some tentative policy conclusions from these models, concluding that firms never pay for investments in general training, whereas when labor markets are imperfect, firm sponsored training arises as an equilibrium phenomenon.
