  1. Estimated effects from OLS regressions with heteroscedasticity- and autocorrelation-robust standard errors (in parentheses). *, **, *** denote significance at the 10, 5, 1% level, respectively. \(I^{JS}\), \(I^{F}\), \(I^{EA}\): Search intensity of job seekers/firms/employment agencies. SP: Average search perimeter of job seekers in kilometers. \(\theta\): labour market tightness. All variables enter the regressions in logarithms
