这篇文章得出了新的可测试的影响，基于企业的求职网络中，员工提供有关潜在的新员工，否则他们不会有雇主的信息。使用全面匹配的雇主-雇员数据，涵盖了一个大都市劳动力市场的整个劳动力，结合与行政记录相关的独特调查数据，我们提供的证据表明，如果工人通过推荐获得工作，他们的工资更高，并且不太倾向于离开公司。这些影响在雇佣关系开始时特别强烈，随着在公司的任期而减弱，这表明公司和工人随着时间的推移了解工人的生产力。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，求职网络有助于减少劳动力市场的信息不足，并导致工人和企业的生产力提高。
This article derives novel testable implications of referral-based job search networks in which employees provide employers with information about potential new hires that they otherwise would not have. Using comprehensive matched employer-employee data covering the entire workforce in one large metropolitan labour market combined with unique survey data linked to administrative records, we provide evidence that workers earn higher wages and are less inclined to leave their firms if they have obtained their job through a referral. These effects are particularly strong at the beginning of the employment relationship and decline with tenure in the firm, suggesting that firms and workers learn about workers' productivity over time. Overall, our findings imply that job search networks help to reduce informational deficiencies in the labour market and lead to productivity gains for workers and firms.
