Today it is widely acknowledged that labor supply matters for many key economic issues, particularly for business cycles and tax policy analysis.

متن کاملTechnology shocks, labor mobility and aggregate fluctuations
We provide evidence on the dynamic behavior of net labor flows across US states in response to a positive technology shock. Technology shocks are identified as disturbances that increase relative state productivity in the long run for 226 state-pairs encompassing 80 percent of labor flows across US states in the period 1976 2008. The data suggest heterogeneous responses of both employment and n...
متن کاملFamily Labor Supply and Aggregate Saving
I study the impact of idiosyncratic risk on savings and employment in a small open economy populated by two-member families. Families incur a fixed cost of participation when both members are employed. Because of market incompleteness and information asymmetries, this cost coupled with labor market frictions can generate multiple equilibria. In particular, there might be one equilibrium with hi...
متن کاملLabor-Market Matching with Precautionary Savings and Aggregate Fluctuations∗
We analyze a Bewley-Huggett-Aiyagari incomplete-markets model with labor-market frictions. Consumers are subject to idiosyncratic employment shocks against which they cannot insure directly. The labor market has a Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides structure: firms enter by posting vacancies and match with workers bilaterally, with match probabilities given by an aggregate matching function. Wages ar...
