Check out the new RFBerlin Research Insight on our paper "Duration Dependence in Finding a Job: Applications, Interviews, and Job Offers" 👇
Grateful to @RF_Berlin for featuring our work!

🧠 RFBerlin Research Insight!
Job seekers send 25% fewer applications after just one year of unemployment. Not laziness — discouragement. Employers increasingly screen out the long-term unemployed, and workers respond by giving up. New research unpacks the vicious cycle, read it here: rfberlin.com/research-insigh…

Last week we hosted the #workshop “The Role of Firms in the Labor Markets” in beautiful Lugano. Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (grant no. 882), the event featured more than 20 Switzerland-based young researchers in #LaborEconomics. And it was a lot of fun.
Firms adapt remarkably well to scarcity of skills they need, becoming less choosy if skill is scarce...
🆕RFBerlin Discussion Paper! @jklaeui, Daniel Kopp, @rlalive & Michael Siegenthaler show that firms play a central role in workers’ occupational transitions during scarce labor markets, mediating employment and skill adjustments.

Taking the stage, @rlalive speaking about “Automated and Personalized Job Recommendations for Jobseekers: Evidence from a Randomized Intervention”.
Les sanctions dans l'assurance chômage... un aspect complex et important.
Inutile de sortir tout de suite le carton rouge: les #sanctions légères incitent les #chômeurs à rechercher un emploi plus activement.
