[eng] This article seeks to assess the contribution of a non-Walrasian model of the labor market to an analysis of economic dynamics. We begin by discussing our model’s capacity to reproduce a labor volatility comparable to that of GDP , a lesser volatility of real wages, and the acyclical...

Our paper seeks to gain insights into the effects of labor-market institutions on the dynamics of the labor market, during the diffusion process of new technologies. Because these institutions differ between Europe and the United States, we expect the dynamics of the labor market to also diverge...

This paper extends the job creation–job destruction approach to the labor market to take into account a deterministic finite horizon. As hirings and separations depend on the time over which investment costs can be recouped, the life-cycle setting implies age-differentiated labor-market flows....

This paper develops an on-the-job search model with wage posting where unemployment benefits are proportional to past wages. We emphasize that this contributes to increasing the reservation wages of unemployed workers and introduces a feedback effect of the distribution of wages on the...

Endogenous cycles cannot emerge in one-sector monetary overlapping generations models when there is intertemporal substitutability, even if returns to scale are increasing. In this article, we show that the conclusions are different when there are two sectors. Considering a two-sector monetary...

Phelps [Phelps, E. (1994): "Low-wage employment subsidies versus the welfare state", American Economic Review 84, 54-58.] presented the case for a low-wage subsidy policy. Since the mid-1990s, France has experimented with this strategy. This paper evaluates the effect of this policy on...
