This paper uses the NLS of Young Men to estimate the relative wage effects of employed and unemployed job search. Unemployed search in principle allows one to contact more firms per unit of time than employed search; however, unemployed search also implies foregone wages. Because search mode (i.e., employed vs. unemployed) results from a worker choice process, the endogeneity of search mode must be taken into account in estimating the relative wage effects of the two search modes. Using selectivity-bias correction techniques, it is found that unemployed search yields about a 10 percent higher expected wage offer than employed search. |
