“…Some empirical studies find a wage premium of network search (e.g., Granovetter, 1974, Simon and Warner, 1992, Fernandez, Castilla, and Moore, 2000, Marmaros and Sacerdote, 2002, and Kugler, 2003, 6 while some document a negative effect (e.g., Bentolila, Michelacci, and Suarez, 2004 for both the U.S. and Europe, Pistaferri (1999) in countries such as Finland, Greece, Italy and the United Kingdom; Antoninis (2006) for Egypt). Instead of these two extremes, some studies show that there exist no significant wage effects (e.g., Bridges andVillemez, 1986 andMarsden andGorman, 2001).…”
