Endogenous Separations, Wage Rigidities and Employment Volatility
We show that in micro data, as well as in a search and matching model with endogenous separations and rigid wages, separations and hence employment volatility are non-neutral to wage rigidities of incumbent workers. In contrast to when all wages are flexible, the standard deviation of unemployment in a model with rigid wages for incumbent workers (only) matches the standard deviation in the dat...
متن کاملCross - sectional wage and employment rigidities vs . aggregate employment
When studying real-life market outcomes and evaluating policy interventions, economists like to refer to a hypothetical situation where intertemporal and insurance markets are perfect and complete. In reality, of course, laissez faire economic interactions can hardly supply insurance against the risk of becoming or remaining unemployed, because moral hazard and adverse selection stand in the wa...

This paper investigates wage dynamics assuming the potential presence of dual wage stickiness: with respect to both the frequency as well as the size of wage adjustments. In particular, this paper proposes a structural model of wage inflation dynamics assuming that although workers adjust wage contracts at discrete time intervals, they are limited in their abilities to adjust wages as much as t...

We document that quantitatively transfers are a much larger component than taxes. Nevertheless, to avoid the “bonding critique” most of the existing literature overlooks the transfer component by making the implici...

I find that the relative stability of educational wage premia was ...
