متن کاملCEP Discussion Paper No 839 November 2007 The Unemployment Volatility Puzzle : Is Wage Stickiness the Answer ?
I study the cyclical behavior of an equilibrium search model with endogenous job creation and destruction, with focus on the model’s failure to match the observed cyclical volatility of unemployment. Job creation in the model is influenced by wages in new matches. I summarize microeconometric evidence on wages in new matches and show that the key model elasticities are consistent with the evide...
متن کاملSchumpeterian Restructuring
We develop a theory of cyclical unemployment, which relates the processes of job creation and job destruction over the business cycle, to the processes of restructuring, innovation and implementation arising from a model of endogenous cyclical growth. Due to a moral hazard problem, production workers are paid efficiency wages and experience involuntary unemployment. The model captures two key c...
متن کاملWorkplace Injuries and Job Flows
The growth rates of workplace injury and illness rates exhibit a negative (time-varying) mean and a pro-cyclical response to variations in economic activity, as they decline in recessions before rebounding (and overshooting) during economic recoveries. Using a structural time series model, it is shown that this business cycle behavior is driven by job flows. In recessions, the acceleration of j...

In a two sector extension of the Mortensen-Pissarides model of endogenous job destruction, it is shown that trade liberalization increases both job creation and job destruction in the import competing sector and reduces them in the export sector. Since trade liberalization increases unemployment in the import competing sector and reduces it in the export sector, the impact on economywide unempl...
