On-the-Job Search and the Cyclical Dynamics of the Labor Market (2007, neutral): “For a thorough discussion of the biases this may lead to, see Petrongolo and Pissarides (2001).”
Job matching and propagation (2006, methodology): “Estimates using micro data suggest α = 0.50 as a reasonable estimate of the elasticity parameter; see Petrongolo and Pissarides (2001).”
Equilibrium Search Unemployment, Endogenous Participation, And Labor Market Flows (2005, neutral): “Several authors, Petrongolo and Pissarides (2001) in particular, have nonethe-less argued that the direct ﬂows from inactivity to employment are due to misclas-siﬁcation problems, known technically as a “time aggregation bias.””
Knowledge Exchange, Matching, and Agglomeration (2000, background): “8 For a comprehensive survey of empirical matching functions, the reader is referred to a recent article by Petrongolo and Pissarides [25].”
Unemployment Fluctuations with Staggered Nash Wage Bargaining (2006, background): “Equations (37), (38), and (39) thus determine x̃, w̃, and p̃.”
Equilibrium Unemployment, Job Flows and Inflation Dynamics (2009, neutral): “The gross nominal interest rate rn t follows the Taylor-type rule rn t rn = μ rn t−1 rn ¶ρm μEtπt+1 π ¶γπ(1−ρm)μyt y ¶γy(1−ρm) e m t , (33)”
Job Search and Mobility in Developing Countries. Theory and Policy Implications (2008, methodology): “Of course, other specific meeting processes can give rise to a similar matching function (see Mortensen and Pissarides, 1999; Petrongolo and Pissarides, 2001).”
NEW MICROFOUNDATIONS FOR THE AGGREGATE MATCHING FUNCTION (2007, background): “Surveying the empirical evidence, Petrongolo and Pissarides (2001) conclude that the urn-ball functional forms do not perform well.”
Duration Dependence and Labor Market Conditions: Evidence from a Field Experiment* (2013, neutral): “This is consistent with a large literature in labor economics which finds that aggregate labor market variables strongly predict individual unemployment durations (Petrongolo and Pissarides 2001).”
The Fundamental Surplus (2017, background): “Because it summarizes outcomes of labor market frictions without explicitly modeling them, Petrongolo and Pissarides (2001) call the matching function a black box.”
The Role of Search Frictions and Bargaining for Inflation Dynamics (2006, background): “This choice is within the range of plausible values of 0.5 to 0.7 reported by Petrongolo and Pissarides (2001) in their survey of the literature on the estimation of the matching function.”
