Jobs for Shared Prosperity: Time for Action in the Middle East and North Africa (2013, background): “…is particularly important for individuals with less education—often from less affl uent neighborhoods—who rely more extensively on informal contacts for employment, whereas the better educated use a mixture of contacts and formal search methods (Ioannides and Loury 2004; Whaba and Zenou 2005).”
Who Gets the Job Referral? Evidence from a Social Networks Experiment (2012, background): “…utilized natural experiments and other credible identification techniques to persuade us that networks affect labor market outcomes.1 We also know that a large fraction of jobs are found through networks in many contexts, including 30–60 percent of US jobs (Bewley 1999; Ioannides and Loury 2004).”
Oppositional Identities and Employment for Ethnic Minorities: Evidence from England (2010, neutral): “…unemployment rate is high among a particular group, individuals of that group have few connections that can refer them to jobs and their social network is poor (Calvó-Armengol and Jackson, 2004; Calvó-Armengol and Zenou, 2005; Montgomery, 1991; Topa, 2001; Ioannides and Loury, 2004; Zenou, 2009).”
Firm Market Power and the Earnings Distribution (2015, methodology): “This could be due to strict mobility constraints, a less e ective job referral network (Ioannides and Loury, 2004), lower job search ability (Black, 1981), or simply being quali ed for fewer jobs.”
An Overview of Social Networks and Economic Applications (2011, background): “In particular, as Calvó-Armengol and Jackson (2004) point out, duration dependence in unemployment arises in a networked model of employment.”
Job Referral Networks and the Determination of Earnings in Local Labor Markets (2014, background): “This is in line with the analysis in Ioannides and Loury (2004) of referral use by workers in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, which shows that 8.5 percent of employed workers report using personal contacts to search for work.”
Local social capital and geographical mobility (2010, background): “…on how social capital improves welfare through the creation of an efficient network comprising social ties that allows for better expectations; Ioannides and Loury (2004) on how networks affect labor-market outcomes and inequality; Montgomery (1991) on the importance of referrals to outcomes…”
Stereotype Threat in Organizations: Implications for Equity and Performance (2015, background): “Many organizations heavily rely on referrals to identify potential employees (Breaugh 2013, Breaugh et al. 2003, Ioannides & Loury 2004, Marsden & Gorman 2001, Topa 2011).”
