An Analysis of the Duration of Unemployment Proceedings, Business and Economic Statistics Section, American Statistical Association (1977): 644-648 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Job Search; Unemployment Duration; Wages, Reservation This study presents an empirical test of a simple job search model where search continues until a job offer matches the searcher's previously established reservation wage. The results provide support for the model and as such conflict with other reservation wage studies which establish a negative relationship between reservation wages and the duration of unemployment.
