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 کاملEffects of Unemployment Insurance Benefits in a Life-Cycle Model
In a life-cycle model, we calculate the contribution of the generosity of unemployment insurance (UI) on the unemployment rates in Canada and the U.S. The model predicts a 0.81% difference in unemployment rates (one third of the actual difference) in these countries. Social welfare improves if the benefit ratio increases from 45 percent to 55 percent of the working income. Savings drop and aver...
متن کاملUnemployment Insurance, Wage Dynamics and Inequality over the Life Cycle
Unemployment Insurance, Wage Dynamics and Inequality over the Life Cycle We investigate the relationship between life cycle wages and individual membership of unemployment insurance schemes in Denmark. We separate permanent from transitory wages and characterise them using membership of unemployment insurance funds. We find that unemployment insurance is associated with lower wage growth hetero...
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...
