A Labor Capital Asset Pricing Model
We show that labor search frictions are an important determinant of the cross-section of equity returns. In the data, sorting firms by loadings on labor market tightness, the key statistic of search models, generates a spread in future returns of 6% annually. We propose a partial equilibrium labor market model in which heterogeneous firms make optimal employment decisions under labor search fri...
متن کاملStable marriages and search frictions
Stable matchings are the primary solution concept for two-sided matching markets with nontransferable utility. We investigate the strategic foundations of stability in a decentralized matching market. Towards this end, we embed the standard marriage markets in a search model with random meetings. We study the limit of steady-state equilibria as exogenous frictions vanish. The main result is tha...
متن کاملHoldups and overinvestment in capital markets
This paper analyzes the problem of rms that need to make investment decisions in capital markets characterized by trading frictions and ex-post bargaining. Trading frictions make switching from one capital supplier to another costly, thus implying that the match between rms and suppliers generates surplus. Ex-post bargaining implies that suppliers can appropriate part of this surplus. Firms r...
متن کاملSolids Holdups in the Fully Developed Region of Circulating Fluidized Beds
The present work focuses on developing correlations for better prediction of solids holdups in the fully developed region of cocurrent upflow and downflow two-phase flow. Systematic experiments were carried out in two CFB risers (15.1m and 10.5m high, respectively, but with the same 0.1 m i. d.) and a 9.3 m high, 0.1 m i. d. CFB downer. The experimental results obtained from about 200 sets of o...
متن کاملEfficiency of Simultaneous Search
This paper presents an equilibrium labor search model in which workers can simultaneously apply to multiple firms to increase their search intensity. They observe firms’ wage postings before choosing where to apply. Owing to coordination frictions, a firm may not receive any applications; otherwise it is able to hire unless all its applicants have better offers. It is shown that the equilibrium...
