Research

We study the labor markets in China and the United States, the two largest economies in the world, by examining the evolution of their cross-sectional age-earnings profiles during the past thirty years.

We document a robust set of facts on spatial differences in unemployment, vacancies, job finding, and job filling, and develop a theory of local labor market performance.

We study a model where Becker meets Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides and Bewley-Huggett-Aiyagari.
