Our data allow us to c ontrol for\nseveral factors that can affect the measured relationship betw een\nintensity and duration\, including the composition of job seekers and \nchanges in the number of available job openings over the duration of\nse arch. We find that a job seeker sends fewer applications per week as\nsear ch continues. We also find that job seekers who search on the\nwebsite lon ger tend to send more applications in every period. We\nattribute this fin ding to job seeker heterogeneity. Controlling for\nthe local stock of vaca ncies does little to affect the result\, mainly\nbecause job seekers conti nue to apply to older vacancies well into\ntheir search spell.\n DTSTART:20150424T180000Z DTEND:20150424T193000Z LOCATION:Gerri C.
