This appendix details the derivation of a number of results reported in "The Equivalence of Wage and Price Staggering in Monetary Business Cycle Models," which appears in the Review of Economic Dynamics.

I reconcile macro- and micro-evidence on price-setting in a search and matching framework. Negotiation of wages substantially increases strategic complementarity of price-setting and thus real price rigidities which reduces implied price durations. This mechanism also dampens wage responses to...

Recent empirical findings have emphasized post entry growth of survivors, as opposed to exit of inefficient and small firms, as the main source of growth over time in the average size of a cohort of entering firms. One proposed explanation for the post entry growth of survivors is financing...

In Lentz and Mortensen (2005) we formulate and estimate a market equilibrium model of endogenous growth through product innovation in the spirit of Klette and Kortum (2004). In this paper, we provide a quantitative solution to the planner’s problem in the modeled environment. We find that...

In this paper I argue that most comparisons of the unemployment dynamics in the United States and Europe since the war incorrectly neglect the role of technological catch-up in Europe up to the late 1960s and the contribution of the different growth experiences in the two continents. Growth has...

We consider a model economy populated by risk-neutral firms with multiple vacancies and risk-averse workers. Following the implicit contract literature, we assume that workers have limited access to the intertemporal trade markets. Following the directed search literature, we assume that...
