Abstract:Previous studies on job search are mostly focused on the theoretical models rather than the empirical studies. This paper contributes to the empirical research in the area of job search,by using its classical models and identifing the effect of social network on the job search. An experimental study is conducted to examine whether the social network,which is used to gain information,has a significant influence on the searcher's behavior. The hypotheses formulated are that the availability of social network will significantly increase the expected wage of job searchers and will shorten the duration of searching in labor market. The findings confirm that the social network do have positive effect on the searching process and increases the efficiency of the labor market.
