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...

We study the optimal long-term contract offered to workers when firms are financially constrained in their investment plans. To alleviate the tightness of the financial constraints, firms promise an increasing wage profile to workers, that is, they pay lower wages today in exchange of higher...

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...

This paper proposes a strategy to measure, in a unified setting, how the job finding probability and the job separation probability conditional on observable and unobservable individual characteristics varies over the business cycle. Recent papers by Shimer and Hall point out how new...

This paper combines a discrete-time dynamic general equilibrium articulation of the standard model of labor market search with observed U.S. time series measures on employment, vacancies, and aggregate output to uncover the cyclical properties of three unobserved forcing variables that comprise...
