Strategic wage setting and coordination frictions with multiple applications
Gautier, Pieter; Moraga-González, José Luis - 2004
We examine wage competition in a model where identical workers choose the number of jobs to apply for and identical firms simultaneously post a wage. The Nash equilibrium of this game exhibits the following properties: (i) an equilibrium where workers apply for just one job exhibits unemployment...

Wages and employment in a random social network with arbitrary degree distribution
Ioannides, Yannis M.; Soetevent, Adriaan R. - 2006
Empirical studies of labor markets show that social contacts are an important source of job-related information [Ioannides and Loury (2004)]. At the same time, wage differences among workers may be explained only in part by differences in individual background characteristics. Such findings...

Information flows and aggregate persistence

We consider an oligopolistic market where firms compete in price and quality and where consumers are heterogeneous in knowledge: some consumers know both the prices and quality of the products offered, some know only the prices and some know neither. We show that two types of signalling...
