Firm-Level Shocks and Labor Adjustments
Carlsson, Mikael; Messina, Julián; Nordström Skans, Oskar - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2014
We analyze how firms adjust their labor in response to idiosyncratic shifts in their production function and demand curves using a unique data-set of Swedish manufacturing firms. We show that permanent shocks to firm-level demand is a main driving force behind both job and worker reallocation....

Economic Integration, Imperfect Competition, and International Policy Coordination
Holmlund, Bertil; Kolm, Ann-Sofie - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1999
The paper examines policy externalities between imperfectly competitive open economies where unemployment prevails in general equilibrium. We develop a two-country and two-sector model with monopolistic competition in the goods market and wage bargaining in the labor market. Policy externalities...

Exchange Rate Variability Inside and Outside the EMU.
Bergbom, L. - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1998
An often heard view is that exchange rate variability will decrease for a country that joins the EMU. This is not necessarily true. Both real and nominal exchange rate variability increase under certain circumstances when asymmetric demand shocks occur inside or outside the union. These results...
