Nr. | Study | Field/Research question | Major finding |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | van den Berg et al. (2009) | Ex ante effects of ALMP participation | Prospect of participating in ALMP programs reduces ex ante reservation wages and increases search effort |
2 | van den Berg et al. (2011) | Ex ante effects of ALMP participation: Effect heterogeneity with respect to country of origin of migrants | Effects differ considerably by migrant group, probably due to cultural differences |
3 | Caliendo et al. (2011b) | Role of social networks for job search choices of unemployed job seekers | Individuals with larger networks shift towards more intense use of informal networks and have higher reservation wages |
4 | Caliendo, Uhlendorff (2011) | Impact of personality and subjective expectations on job search behavior of unemployed individuals | Heterogeneous impacts on job search behavior and transition probabilities to employment |
5 | Caliendo, Lee (2013) | Impact of obesity on job search behavior and job finding probabilities | Significant impact only for obese women: Lower employment probability and lower wages |
6 | Krause (2013) | Impact of happiness on job search, job finding probabilities and re-entry wages | Inverse u-shaped relationship between happiness of job seekers and re-employment probability and wages. Happier job seekers exert less search effort. |
7 | Constant et al. (2011a) | Investigates to what extent the native-migrant gap in economic outcomes can be explained by differences in ethnic identity of migrants and its impact on job search behavior and transition to employment | Less integrated migrants slowly reintegrate into employment, most likely attributable to lower search effort and relatively high reservation wages within this group. |
8 | Constant et al. (2010) | Analysis of reservation wages of first and second generation migrants | Second generation migrants have higher reservation wages than first generation migrants as they tend to refer to the wage level within the host county, instead of the country of origin |
9 | Constant et al. (2011b) | Comparison of second generation migrants and natives with respect to the economic impact of attitudes and risk preferences | Differences in attitudes and risk preferences explain lower employment probabilities among second generation migrants |
