My research is on labor markets and macroeconomics. Most of it has focused on search frictions but recently I have become interested in mismatch between workers’ human capital and geographic location and the skill requirements and location of available jobs.

I have links to my recent working papers and a book manuscript. These address questions such as:

• Why do unemployed workers and job vacancies coexist?
• Why does the unemployment rate vary over time and across countries?
• Is this variation driven by variation in unemployment duration or unemployment incidence?
• What determines the duration of unemployment spells?
• What determines how frequently employed workers switch jobs?
• Is there a role of unemployment insurance policy?
• If so, should unemployment benefits decline with unemployment duration?

I also have links to my published papers.

I have a page that contains some of the data that I have constructed and used in recent papers.
