摘要:In our piece of work we are facing a two-fold problem: on the one hand, we study the behaviour of
young job seekers and the extent to which reservation wages and unemployment benefits play a relevant
role in the transition into working life. On the other hand, we intend to find out whether the determinants
of the job search process may also affect subsequent wages.
We undertake an empirical approach combining one-step estimations with two-step instrumental variables
techniques. The data used to this end come from the European Community Household Panel
(ECHP) for the period 1995-2001. To be precise, the sub-sample gathers both male and female Southern
European (Italian, Greek, Spanish and Portuguese) workers. From the results of the analysis important
subtleties arise, particularly related to differences across countries.
