| Summary/Abstract |
Using a social network is an effective way to carry out a job search. This study examines whether Chinese social network, guanxi, leads to better job-worker match and less job turnover. Using a two-dimensional measurement of guanxi, the results of logistic regressions indicate that guanxi is actively used by job seekers who do not match to the employers’ requirements. This finding implies that guanxi may be unfairly used during job searches. Meanwhile, survival analysis shows that guanxi does not lead to less job turnover. The implication of this study is that guanxi should be used for informational purposes, which would enable job seekers and potential employers to avoid information asymmetry in the job search process.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the effects of home-state unemployment rates on attrition behavior of Navy enlistees for successive career windows during the first term of service: the first 6?months, the second 6?months, the second year, and the third year of service. The results indicate that attrition is negatively associated with changes in the local unemployment rate during the first three career windows covering two years of service. However, after two years of service, the estimated effect of the unemployment rate becomes insignificant for most groups of sailors. This is likely because sailors with the poorest job matches are sorted out early in the first term of service.
