Affiliation:Royal Holloway University of London, U.KI am grateful to my late Ph.D. advisor, Dale Mortensen, for his extensive help and guidance throughout this project. I thank the editor, Guido Menzio, and three anonymous referees for very helpful comments and suggestions. I also thank Rasmus Lentz, Christopher Taber, Eva Nagypal, Gadi Barlevy, Eric French, Pieter Gautier, and seminar participants at Chicago Fed, Northwestern University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance, Uppsala University, Tinbergen Institute, Aarhus University, University of Bristol, Essex University, Oxford University, and NBER Summer Institute. This research was supported by the Labour Market Dynamics and Growth (LMDG) project at Aarhus University. Finally, I want to express my special thanks to Henning Bunzel for sharing his expertise on the data—this project would not exist without his invaluable help.
Abstract:Standard models of labor adjustment assume that firms can change only the size of their workforce (the extensive margin) and not the number of hours of their existing employees (the intensive margin) in response to shocks. I propose a general equilibrium search model that allows for adjustment on both of these margins. The model includes on‐the‐job search that generates different vacancy filling and attrition rates across firms. I calibrate the model to a unique matched employer–employee panel of Danish firms and simulate two labor market policies aimed at promoting job creation: hiring subsidies and a reduction in the official workweek.
