"Did the Job Ladder Fail After the Great Recession?" Abstract We study employment reallocation across heterogeneous employers through the lens of a dynamic job-ladder model, where moreproductive employers spend more hiring effort and are more likely to succeed in hiring because they offer more. As a consequence, anemployer's size is a relevant proxy for productivity. We exploit…

"Strongly Symmetric Equilibria in Bandit Games" Abstract This paper studies strongly symmetric equilibria (SSE) in continuous-time games of strategic experimentation with Poisson bandits. SSE payoffs can be studied via two functional equations similar to the HJB equation used for Markov equilibria that they generalize. This is valuable for three reasons. First, these equations retain the…
