Job search, duration of unemployment and subsequent wage gain / by Surendra Gera and Abrar Hasan.: EC22-3/1981-202E-PDF

"In this paper, we examine the question of productivity of search unemployment. Search literature has emphasized the movement of wage rates over the spell of search as a prime indicator of search productivity. If search is productive we would find post unemployment wages to be higher than pre-unemployment wages. We use this wage change as a measure of search productivity"--Abstract, p. vii.
