We examine wage competition in a model where identical workers choose the number of jobs to apply for and identical firms simultaneously post a wage. The Nash equilibrium of this game exhibits the following properties: (i) an equilibrium where workers apply for just one job exhibits unemployment...

In this paper, we present a directed search model of the housing market. The pricing mechanism we analyze reflects the …. Our model offers a new way to look at the housing market from a search-theoretic perspective. In addition, we contribute … to the directed search literature by considering a model in which the asking price (i) entails only limited commitment …
