本文研究了基于同事的网络对个体劳动力市场结果的影响。我分析如何提供劳动力市场的相关信息，由前同事影响就业概率，如果雇用，工资的男性工人谁以前成为失业的结果，建立关闭。为了确定劳动力市场结果的因果关系的一个工人的网络，我利用这些网络的强度，这是由于发生大规模裁员的前同事的机构的外源性变化。实证分析的基础是行政数据，包括宇宙的工人在德国1980年至2001年期间就业。结果表明，工人的前同事网络中的较高就业率对他在流离失所后的再就业概率有很强的积极影响：网络中的现行就业率增加10个百分点，再就业概率增加7.5个百分点。相比之下，没有证据表明对工资有统计上的重大影响。
This paper studies the effect of coworker-based networks on individual labour market outcomes. I analyse how the provision of labour market relevant information by former coworkers affects the employment probabilities and, if hired, the wages of male workers who have previously become unemployed as the result of an establishment closure. To identify the causal effect of an individual worker's network on labour market outcomes, I exploit exogenous variation in the strength of these networks that is due to the occurrence of mass layoffs in the establishments of former coworkers. The empirical analysis is based on administrative data that comprise the universe of workers employed in Germany between 1980 and 2001. The results suggest a strong positive effect of a higher employment rate in a worker's network of former coworkers on his re-employment probability after displacement: a 10 percentage point increase in the prevailing employment rate in the network increases the re-employment probability by 7.5 percentage points. In contrast, there is no evidence of a statistically significant effect on wages.
