TI - A Matching Model of Crowding-Out and On-the-Job Search (with an Application to Spain) PY - 2002/Oct/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 612 UR - https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp612 AB - This paper considers a matching model of heterogenous workers and jobs which includes onthe- job search. High-educated workers transitorily accept unskilled jobs and continue to search for skilled jobs. We study the implications of this model for the unemployment rates of high and low-educated workers, for the share of mismatched workers and wage inequality both within and between skill groups. The model is used to shed light on the Spanish experience following a large educational upgrading since the mid-eighties. KW - on-the-job search KW - matching KW - crowding-out KW - unemployment ER -
