The economics of search is a prominent component of economic
theory, and it has a richness and elegance that underpins a host of
practical applications. In this book Brian and John McCall present
a comprehensive overview of the economic theory of search, from the
classical model of job search formulated 40 years ago to the recent
developments in equilibrium models of search.
The book gives decision-theoretic foundations to seemingly
slippery issues in labour market theory, estimation theory and
economic dynamics in general, and surveys the entire field of the
economics of search, including its history, theory, and econometric
applications. Theoretical models of the economics of search are
covered as well as estimation methods used in search theory and
topics covered include job search, turnover, unemployment,
liquidity, house selling, real options and auctions. The
mathematical methods used in search theory such as dynamic
programming are reviewed as well as structural estimation methods
and econometric methods for duration models. The authors also
explore the classic sequential search model and its extensions in
addition to recent advances in equilibrium search theory.
