Spatial Segregation and Urban Structure

In this paper, we study social interactions between two populations of individuals living in a city. Agents consume land and benefit from intraand inter-group social interactions. We show that in equilibrium segregation arises: populations get separated in distinct spatial neighborhoods. Twoand three-district urban structures are characterized. For high population ratios or strong intergroup in...

Equilibrium Wage and Employment Dynamics in a Model of Wage Posting without Commitment

Equilibrium Wage and Employment Dynamics in a Model of Wage Posting without Commitment A rich but tractable variant of the Burdett-Mortensen model of wage setting behavior is formulated and a dynamic market equilibrium solution to the model is defined and characterized. In the model, firms cannot commit to wage contracts. Instead, the Markov perfect equilibrium to the wage setting game, charact...
