The Economics of Search PDF
by Brian McCall, John (University of California Santa Barbara, USA) McCall
Part of the Routledge Advances in Experimental and Computable Economics series
Description
The economics of search is a prominent component of economic theory, and it has a richness and elegance that underpins a host of practical applications.
In this book Brian and John McCall present a comprehensive overview of the economic theory of search, from the classical model of job search formulated 40 years ago to the recent developments in equilibrium models of search. The book gives decision-theoretic foundations to seemingly slippery issues in labour market theory, estimation theory and economic dynamics in general, and surveys the entire field of the economics of search, including its history, theory, and econometric applications.
Theoretical models of the economics of search are covered as well as estimation methods used in search theory and topics covered include job search, turnover, unemployment, liquidity, house selling, real options and auctions.
The mathematical methods used in search theory such as dynamic programming are reviewed as well as structural estimation methods and econometric methods for duration models.
The authors also explore the classic sequential search model and its extensions in addition to recent advances in equilibrium search theory.
