- 요약Social networks influence labor market outcomes. This dissertation investigates how the sectoral composition of an individual's current and past coworkers affects their job-switching decisions.The first chapter establishes the empirical relationship between a worker's current coworkers' past sectors of employment and their decision to move into those sectors. To identify causal effects, I employ multiple strategies, including distinguishing between current-year and non-current-year coworkers, controlling for time-varying shocks specific to industry pairs, and using unexpected death or retirement events to isolate idiosyncratic changes in coworker networks. Using German administrative matched employer-employee longitudinal data, I find a positive causal relationship between the proportion of coworkers from a sector and both the propensity of transitioning to that sector and the sensitivity to sectoral wage changes.The second chapter quantifies the coworker mechanism's contribution to employment and reallocation. Inspired by the empirical relationship documented in the first chapter, I develop and estimate a multi-sector, multi-firm general equilibrium model where perceived wages and adjustment costs for sector transitions depend on coworker shares. My results show that the welfare effect of COVID-induced productivity shocks is higher when considering coworker networks compared to assuming no influence from coworkers. Maintaining worker-employer ties to reduce competition in positively shocked sectors can further increase welfare.
