Uniqueness of equilibrium in directed search models
We study a decentralized trading model as in Peters (1984), where a finite number of heterogeneous capacity-constrained sellers compete for a finite number of homogeneous buyers, by posting prices. This “directed search” model is known to admit symmetric equilibria; yet, uniqueness has proved elusive. This study makes two contributions: a substantive contribution is to establish uniqueness of s...
متن کامل“Residual” Wage Disparity in Directed Search Equilibrium
We examine how much of the observed wage dispersion among similar workers can be explained as a consequence of a lack of coordination among employers. To do this, we construct a directed search model with homogenous workers but where firms can create either good or bad jobs, aimed at either employed or unemployed workers. Workers in our model can also sell their labor to the highest bidder. The...
متن کاملDirected Search for Equilibrium Wage-Tenure Contracts
I analyze the equilibrium in a labor market where firms offer wage-tenure contracts to direct the search of employed and unemployed workers. Each applicant observes all offers and there is no coordination among individuals. Workers’ applications (as well as firms’ recruiting decisions) are optimal. This optimality requires the equilibrium to be formulated differently from the that in the litera...
متن کاملEquilibrium Directed Search with Multiple Applications
In this paper, we construct an equilibrium model of directed search in a large labor market in which unemployed workers make multiple job applications. Speci cally, we consider a matching process in which job seekers, observing the wages posted at all vacancies, send their applications to the vacancies that they nd most attractive. At the same time, each vacancy, when it chooses its wage posti...
متن کاملEquilibrium existence and uniqueness in impure public good models
Despite widespread application of the impure public good model, surprisingly little attention has been given to the model's equilibrium properties. This paper presents a proof that clearly shows sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
