Minimally Altruistic Wages and Unemployment in a Matching Model
Rotemberg, Julio J. - 2010
This paper presents a model in which firms recruit both unemployed and employed workers by posting vacancies. Firms act monopsonistically and set wages to retain their existing workers as well as to attract new ones. The model differs from Burdett and Mortensen (1998) in that its assumptions...

A Formal Test of Assortative Matching in the Labor Market
Abowd, John M. - 2012
We estimate a structural model of job assignment in the presence of coordination frictions due to Shimer (2005). The coordination friction model places restrictions on the joint distribution of worker and firm effects from a linear decomposition of log labor earnings. These restrictions permit...
