Equilibrium Unemployment
A search-theoretic model of equilibrium unemployment is constructed and shown to be consistent with the key regularities of the labor market and business cycle. The two distinguishing features of the model are: (i) the decision to accept or reject jobs is modeled explicitly, and (ii) markets are incomplete. The model is well suited to address a number of interesting policy questions. Two such a...
متن کاملEquilibrium Unemployment Fluctuations∗
This paper develops three facts about the cyclical behavior of the labor market in the U.S. and explores whether existing models are consistent with those facts. I find that a standard model of search unemployment with wage bargaining either counterfactually predicts a positive correlation between unemployment and vacancies over the business cycle or predicts an order of magnitude more wage cyc...
متن کاملEquilibrium Involuntary Unemployment Under Oligempory
We show that equilibrium involuntary unemployment emerges in a multi– stage game model where all market power resides with firms, on both the labour and the output market. Firms decide wages, employment, output and prices, and under constant returns there exists a continuum of subgame perfect Nash equilibria involving unemployment and positive profits. A firm does not undercut the equilibrium w...
متن کاملSkill Heterogeneity and Equilibrium Unemployment
Opportunities for skilled and unskilled workers in the UK diverged over the last quarter of the twentieth century. We develop an empirical framework consistent with these trends that highlights the importance of skill heterogeneity in both wage setting and labour demand in explaining aggregate labour market outcomes. The framework enables us to quantify the macroeconomic effects of shocks that ...
