Abstract: In this paper, we study nonemployed workers' job search behavior. In particular, we analyze how search behavior changes over the business cycle. Theoretically, we show that job search intensity can either be procyclical or countercyclical depending on various factors. Empirically, we first examine how aggregate job search intensity changes over the business cycle. Second, we examine job search behavior at the individual level and analyze, how local labor market conditions affect individuals' job search behavior.
