demand equations suggest that cuts in working time may have slightly increased employment as firms substituted workers for …

We examine theoretically demand in a two-good economy where the demand of one good is influenced by either a spillover … similar choices as others. A positive spillover effect increases the demand for the good with interactions, and a conformity … effect makes the demand curve pivot around the average market demand to make demand less price sensitive. The collateral …

We examine the timing of firms' operations in a formal model of labor demand. Merging a variety of data sets from … Portugal from 1995-2004, we describe temporal patterns of firms' demand for labor and estimate production-functions and … relative labor-demand equations. The results demonstrate the existence of substitution of employment across times of the day …

distinguishes our model from most other microsimulation tools. A demand module takes into account possible restrictions of labor … demand and identifies the partial equilibrium of the labor market after the supply reactions. …

This paper presents and tests a model that may partially explain why the demand for labor adapts to the availability of … the cost of hiring and increase employment demand at any given wage rate. Hence, a change in the labor force - such as the … addition of women or immigrants - does not increase unemployment as much as is predicted for current workers because demand for …

was high. But since then labor demand has picked up and unemployment has dropped substantially. In contrast to the earlier … period of weak labor demand, it is now the supply side of the labor market that constrains job creation. These spectacular … was a strong increase in labor demand, as evidenced by the increase in the job vacancy rates and real wages. The surge in …
