摘要本文采用Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides的异质性工资搜索模型，研究了在职求职与通过社会联系找到工作之间的相互作用。工人可以通过他们的社会关系和在正式市场上找到工作。社会联系的存在增加了社会的整体福利，因为它增加了高工资工人的数量，降低了失业率。然而，通过社会关系找到工作的失业工人的平均工资低于那些在正式市场上找到工作的人。这一结果来自在职搜索：就业者只会把那些工资（略）低于他们当前工资的工作机会传递给他们的邻居。尽管有工资折扣，失业工人仍然可能会发现通过社会关系进行搜索是有益的，因为当邻居数量足够大时，这种渠道的报价到达率高于正式市场。在失业持续时间和工人通过社会关系获得工作的工资之间存在一种权衡。
Abstract The interactions between on-the-job search and finding a job through social contacts are investigated in a Diamond–Mortensen–Pissarides search model with heterogeneous wages. Workers may find a job through their social contacts and on the formal market. The presence of social contacts increases the overall welfare in society as it rises the number of workers earning high wages and decreases the unemployment rate. However, unemployed workers finding a job through social ties earn lower wages on average than those who obtain a job on the formal market. This result follows from on-the-job search: employed workers pass only those offers on to their neighbors that pay (weakly) lower wages than their current wages earned. Despite the wage discount, unemployed workers still might find it beneficial to search via social ties because arrival rate of offers is higher for this channel than for the formal market when the number of neighbors is sufficiently large. There is a trade-off between unemployment duration and wages earned for workers obtaining a job via social ties.
