我估计了一个将空缺职位和失业工人相匹配以产生新员工的函数。以色列法律要求进行空缺登记，从而产生独特的数据质量。由于同时性偏差，文献低估了匹配函数系数，因为雇员的外流耗尽了失业和职位空缺的存量。仪器和新的模拟方法解决了这种偏差。一项新的测试揭示了失业和职位空缺的异质性的有力证据。估计意味着劳动力市场动态将在短短两个月内完全吸收冲击。 1978 年至 1990 年间，失业率增加了 2.1 个百分点，原因是推荐聘用率的下降。
I estimate a function that matches vacant jobs and unemployed workers to produce new hires. Israeli law requiring vacancy registration yields unique data quality. The literature underestimates matching function coefficients because of a simultaneity bias, as the outflow of hires depletes stocks of unemployed and vacancies. Instruments and a new simulation method address this bias. A new test reveals strong evidence of heterogeneity in unemployed and vacancies. Estimates imply labor market dynamics that absorb shocks completely within only 2 months. Reductions in the hire rate of referrals can explain a 2.1 percentage point increase in unemployment between 1978 and 1990.
