Transportation market distortions include various types of underpricing o...
متن کاملContractual distortions in a market with frictions
This paper analyses contract design in a decentralized market environment with frictions. While principals (e.g., firms) have all contractual power, their market power is constrained as agents (e.g., workers) can choose to wait and search for better offers. We find that results depend crucially on how market frictions affect agents’ utilities. With type-independent costs of search and waiting, ...

متن کاملMarket distortions and local indeterminacy: A general approach
We provide a general methodology to study the role of market distortions on local indeterminacy and bifurcations. We extend the well-known Woodford (1986) model to account for market distortions, introducing general specifications for three crucial functions: the real interest rate, the real wage and the workers’ offer curve. The elasticities of these three functions play a key role on local dy...
