Job Search, Networks, and Labor Market Performance of Immigrants

Eva Arceo-Gomez

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: We develop an on-the-job search model in which immigrants search for jobs through formal channels or networks, and the quality of job offers differs across search methods. The model predicts networks unambiguously lead to a larger share of network jobs in job-to-job transitions, whereas the effect is ambiguous in unemployment-to-job transitions.
