Wage Inequality in a Frictional Labor Market
Wage inequality in the United States has grown substantially in the past two decades. Standard supply-demand analysis in the empirics of inequality (e.g. Katz and Murphy (1992)) indicates that we may attribute some of this trend to an outward shift in the demand for high skilled labor. In this paper we examine a simple static channel in which the wage premium for skill may grow increased firm e...
متن کاملMigration, Frictional Unemployment, and Welfare Improving Labor Policies
Studies have suggested that there exists job search and recruiting friction in urban areas. This paper constructs a two-sector (rural and urban) model involving this factor and investigates how it affects migration and what the optimal policies should be. An analysis shows that frictional urban unemployment brings about inter-sector wage differentials and that an economy almost always has disto...
متن کاملMultidimensional heterogeneity and matching in a frictional labor market - An application to polarization
Wage and job polarization are two defining phenomena that have characterized the US labor market from the 1980s to the late 2000s. Polarization has also differed distinctly between demographic subgroups, such as men and women. In addition, sorting patterns between workers and firms have changed over this period. This paper finds that technological change can account for a substantial part of th...
متن کاملDisinflation with labor market frictions
This paper studies disinflationary shocks in a non-linear New Keynesian model with search and matching frictions and moral hazard in the labor markets. Our focus is on understanding the wage formation process as well as welfare costs of disinflations in the presence of such labor market frictions. The presence of imperfect information in labor markets imposes a lower bound on worker surplus tha...
متن کاملMeasuring Matching Frictions in the Puerto Rican Labor Market
I investigate the role that matching frictions play in the Puerto Rican labor market. The search-theoretical models of the labor market which were developed in the 1980’s led to an explosion of empirical work in the search for evidence of the mechanisms that supported the theory. This paper seeks to measure the degree to which the Puerto Rican labor market is afflicted by congestion externaliti...
