This paper studies equilibrium unemployment in a two-region economy with matching frictions, where workers and jobs are …. Search-matching externalities are amplified by the latter possibility and by the fact that some workers can simultaneously … receive a job offer from each region. The rest of the framework builds upon Moretti (2011). Increasing the matching …
