Economic Inquiry, 2023
AbstractCollege‐educated workers in jobs unrelated to their degree generally receive lower wages compared to well‐matched workers.

Education and Job Mismatch

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
We develop an infinite-horizon dynamic search model to understand education-job mismatches in the labor markets where job seekers face three different types of labor markets based on their minimum educational requirements. Using a new data set, we find that our model matches the U.S. data well when we introduce heterogeneity through wage distributions.
