Ex Ante Capacity Effects in Evolutionary Labor Markets with Adaptive Search
نویسنده
چکیده
This study reports on computational experiments for an agent-based labor market-model-with adaptive choice'and refusal of work site' partners and with endogenously evolving work site behaviors. Two treatment factors ^e experimentally varied: market structure; and ex ante capacity constraints on potential work offers and job openings.Particular attentions focused on experimentally determined correlations between treatment factors and the formation of contractual networks among workers and employers, and between' contractual network"formation and the'types'o!f work site interactions and welfare outcomes that these contractual networks support.

متن کاملHysteresis in an Evolutionary Labor Market with Adaptive Search
This study undertakes a systematic experimental investigation of hysteresis (path dependency) in an agent-based computational labor market framework. It is shown that capacity asymmetries between work suppliers and employers can result in two distinct hysteresis effects, network and behavioral, when work suppliers and employers interact strategically and evolve their worksite behaviors over tim...
متن کاملQuality-Adjusted Consumer surplus for Online Labor Markets with Asymmetric Information
Traditional measures of consumer surplus (CS) have implicitly assumed that the quality expected is the same as the quality that is paid for ex ante. However, when product or service quality cannot be perfectly verified ex ante by consumers in markets with asymmetric information, and actual quality received may not necessarily equal quality expected, CS would not be precisely measured. In this p...

The present paper investigate the incidence of payroll taxation and more generally labor incomme taxation in a search and mathching model. The model considered a production function with different type of workers, allowing to understand the interactions between segented labor markets. Furthermore, the equilibrium is reach through a double process of intra firm wage bargaining ex post and labor ...
