response of wages to high unemployment can pose adjustment problems. We address the issue using extensive simulations of an …, unique equilibrium unemployment rate but with relatively slow convergence dynamics. The interaction between unemployment … deterministic and stochastic simulations. Resulting impulse-responses are analysed, as well as the distribution of unemployment …

embedded in the real business cycles model with capital, risk-averse agents, and lack of private insurance against unemployment … data. It is found that the model with Nash bargaining wage setting rule fails to replicate the volatility of unemployment …

A number of studies have documented a reduction in aggregate macroeconomic volatility beginning in the early 1980s. Using an empirical model of business cycles, we extend this line of research to state-level employment data, find significant heterogeneity in the timing and magnitude of the...

Theory implies that employment protection will unambiguously decrease job flows. However, cross-country comparisons of annual rates of job reallocation seem to show that employment protection has no discernible effect on job flows. This paper presents a model that shows that employment...

This paper considers a dynamic matching model with imperfectly observable worker effort as in Shapiro and Stiglitz (1994). In our economy the no-shirking condition endogenously imposes real wage rigidity on the matching market. This generates "contractual fragility" and inefficient separations...

I reconcile macro- and micro-evidence on price setting in a search and matching framework. Search frictions lead price-setting firms to negotiate wage rates with their employees. In contrast to the existing macro-labor literature, I assume that wage-bargaining and price-setting occur in the same...

We reformulate the AS-AD growth model of the Neoclassical Synthesis (Stage I) with its traditional microfoundations. The model still has an LM curve in the place of a Taylor interest rate rule, exhibits sticky wages as well as sticky prices, myopic perfect foresight of current inflation rates...
