His job market paper, Ranking Firms Using Revealed Preference, exploits the intuitive notion that workers move towards more preferred firms. I use this revealed preference approach combined with a standard search-theoretic model to estimate the value of working at essentially each firm in the United States. This approach imposes sufficient structure to map the 1.5 million by 1.5 million matrix of worker flows across all firms in the economy into estimates of firm value.
