Life-cycle equilibrium unemployment
Chéron, Arnaud; Hairault, Jean-Olivier; Langot, François - 2008
This paper develops a life-cycle approach to equilibrium unemployment. Workers only differ respectively to their distance from deterministic retirement. A non age-directed search equilibrium is then typically featured by increasing (decreasing) firing (hiring) rates with age and a hump-shaped...

Equilibrium Directed Search with Multiple Applications
Albrecht, James; Gautier, Pieter A.; Vroman, Susan - 2003
We analyze a model of directed search in which unemployed job seekers observe all posted wages. We allow for the possibility of multiple applications by workers and ex post competition among vacancies. For any number of applications, there is a unique symmetric equilibrium in which vacancies...
