dc.description.abstractIn my asymmetric-information model of layoffs, high-productivity workers are more likely to berecalled to their former employer and may choose to remain unemployed rather than toaccept a low-wage job. In this case, unemployment can serve as a signal of productivity, andduration of unemployment may be positively related to post-laid-off wages even amongworkers who are not recalled. In contrast, because workers whose plant closed cannot berecalled, longer unemployment for them should not have a positive signaling benefit. Analysisof the data from the January 1988-2000 Displaced Workers Supplements to the CurrentPopulation Survey reveals that the wage/unemployment duration relation differs betweenlaid-off workers and workers displaced through plant closings in the predicted way, and findsevidence consistent with asymmetric information in the U.S. labor market.en
