Nominal Wage Rigidities in a New Keynesian Model with Frictional Unemployment
Bodart, Vincent; de Walque, Gregory; Pierrard, Olivier; … - 2021
In this paper, we propose a search and matching model with nominal stickiness à la Calvo in the wage bargaining. We analyze the properties of the model, first, in the context of a typical real business cycle model driven by stochastic productivity shocks and second, in a fully specified...

Wage Rigidity and Job Creation
Haefke, Christian; Sonntag, Marcus; van Rens, Thijs - 2021
Standard macroeconomic models underpredict the volatility of unemployment fluctuations. A common solution is to assume wages are rigid. We explore whether this explanation is consistent with the data. We show that the wage of newly hired workers, unlike the aggregate wage, is volatile and...

Endogenous Labor Market Participation and the Business Cycle
Haefke, Christian - 2006
Existing models of equilibrium unemployment with endogenous labor market participation are complex, generate procyclical unemployment rates and cannot match unemployment variability relative to GDP. We embed endogenous participation in a simple, tractable job market matching model, show...

Wage Cyclicalities and Labor Market Dynamics at the Establishment Level : Theory and Evidence
Merkl, Christian - 2017
Using the new AWFP dataset that covers all German establishments, we document a substantial cross-sectional heterogeneity of establishments' average real wages over the business cycle. While the median establishments' real wages are procyclical, there is a large fraction of establishments with...

On the Job Search and Business Cycles
Moscarini, Giuseppe - 2018
We propose a highly tractable way of analyzing business cycles in an environment with random job search both off- and and on-the-job (OJS). Ex post heterogeneity in productivity across jobs generates a job ladder. Firms Bertrand-compete for employed workers, as in the Sequential Auctions...

Employment Fluctuations with Downward Wage Rigidity : The Role of Moral Hazard
Costain, James S. - 2009
This paper studies the cyclical dynamics of Mortensen and Pissarides' (1994) model of job creation and destruction when workers' effort is not perfectly observable, as in Shapiro and Stiglitz (1984). An occasionally-binding no-shirking constraint truncates the real wage distribution from below,...

Business Cycle Asymmetries and the Labor Market
Kohlbrecher, Britta - 2016
This paper shows that the matching function and the Beveridge curve in the United States exhibit strong nonlinearities over the business cycle. These patterns can be replicated by enhancing a search and matching model with idiosyncratic productivity shocks for new contacts. Large negative...
