摘要
We incorporate forward-looking reference-dependent preferences into a simple job search framework and show that people with strong aversion to losses may choose not to search for a job despite economic incentives to do so. We also discuss the policy implications. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
