-the-job search is a key component in explaining labor market dynamics in models of equilibrium unemployment. The model predicts … fluctuations of unemployment, vacancies, and labor productivity whose relative magnitudes replicate the data. A standard search and … matching model suggests much lower volatitilities of these variables. Intuitively, in a boom, rising search activity on the job …
