Job Match Quality over the Business Cycle

Does the business cycle have an impact on job-matching, specifically on the quality of job matches? Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data to capture match quality at the individual level, I attempt to answer this question. Job tenure is used as a quality indicator under the Jovanovic (1979) model where matches are experience goods. Starting wages are also examined. Both local and national unemployment rates are used as cyclical indicators. The finding is a negative cyclical impact on both job match quality indicators. Thus during recessions individuals take jobs that are lower paying and dissolve quicker.

The major focus of this study is on estimating the income-schooling relationship in the presence of an unobserved ability variable. The main results are the negligible ability coefficient and the substantial schooling coefficient in the earnings equation. The authors expect the ability coefficient to increase as the sample ages. On the whole, they feel that the results from the expectation data are better indicators of the eventual peak schooling and ability effects.
