在本文中，我们使用葡萄牙独特的大规模数据集调查了求职过程，该数据集使我们能够评估求职方法对失业逃逸率的影响，以及新的出发点，评估失业者使用的求职方法对收入的影响。在每种情况下，工人的特征都受到仔细关注。此外，求职过程的有效性是根据所产生的职位匹配的周期性来评估的。公共就业机构的作用受到了一定的重视，尽管它经常作为搜索工具，但人们发现它的命中率很低，并且导致低薪工作。此类工作的持续时间也较短，部分原因是它们更有可能具有固定期限。阿姆斯特丹条约的“就业章节”提供了政策背景。鉴于我们的结果，人们自然会对公共就业机构实现欧洲就业倡议设定的目标的能力产生一些担忧。
In this paper we investigate the process of job search, using a unique, large-scale data set for Portugal that allows us to assess the effect of job search methods on escape rates from unemployment and, in a new departure, the impact of job-finding methods used by the unemployed on earnings. In each case, the characteristics of workers receive careful attention. In addition, the effectiveness of the job search process is evaluated in terms of the periodicity of the resulting job match. Some emphasis is accorded the role of the public employment agency which, despite its frequency as a search vehicle, is found to have a low hit rate and to lead to low-paying jobs. Such jobs are also shorter lasting, only partly because they are more likely to be of a fixed-term nature. The policy backdrop is provided by the "employment chapter" of the Treaty of Amsterdam. Given our results, some concern naturally arises as to the capacity of the public employment agency to meet the targets set under European employment initiatives.
