assume that job seekers direct their search based on the listing age and so equalize the expected benefit of a job … externality decreases with the age of the listing when the match is formed. Relative to the constrained efficient search behavior …, the directed search of job seekers leads them to over-apply to younger listings. We illustrate the model using US labor …

We extend the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides model of equilibrium unemployment to incorporate public-sector employment. We calibrate our model to Colombian data and analyze the effects of public-sector wage and employment policy on the unemployment rate, on the division of employment between the...

We analyze a long-term contracting problem involving common uncertainty about a parameter capturing the productivity of the relationship, and featuring a hidden action for the agent. We develop an approach that works for any utility function when the parameter and noise are normally distributed...
