Due to a moral hazard problem, production workers are paid efficiency wages and experience involuntary unemployment. The model captures two key c...

Despite the recovery in the world economy in 2003 and 2004, unemployment remained high in many industrial countries. Even in those countries which reported a strong recovery, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, employment levels recovered only moderately, leading many observers to wonder about a “jobless recovery”.
