| Abstract | Searching for a job takes time. Employers also need time to fill a vacancy. Therefore, at any time we will find that employers and workers are searching for each other. We analyze the matching process for employers and workers who use personnel advertisement as a search channel. The matching model is estimated using micro economie data from an employers survey and a workers survey. We find that there are differences in matching probabilities for workers distinguished by job type, labour market status and gender. An additional analysis in which we use information on workers (reservation) wages indicates that, conditional on the observed job characteristics, employers prefer employed workers over unemployed workers. |
