在本文中，我们使用工作持续时间的数据来定义和估计劳动力市场摩擦的衡量标准。我们比较不同的估计方法和不同类型的数据。我们建议并应用一种无条件的推理方法，该方法可应用于汇总持续时间数据。它不需要工资数据，而是确定工资的方式不变，并且使工人可以关心其他工作特征。经验分析的重点是法国，但我们对美国，英国，德国和荷兰进行了单独的分析。我们量化了由于搜索摩擦而引起的单调权力，并研究了最低工资，失业福利和搜索摩擦的政策影响。
In this paper we define and estimate measures of labor market frictions using data on job durations. We compare different estimation methods and different types of data. We propose and apply an unconditional inference method that can be applied to aggregate duration data. It does not require wage data, it is invariant to the way in which wages are determined, and it allows workers to care about other job characteristics. The empirical analysis focuses on France, but we perform separate analyses for the USA, the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. We quantify the monopsony power due to search frictions and we examine the policy effects of the minimum wage, unemployment benefits and search frictions.
