Recently, a number of authors have argued that the standard search model cannot generate the observed business-cycle-frequency fluctuations in unemployment and job vacancies, given shocks of a plausible magnitude. We use data on the cost of vacancy creation and cyclicality of wages to identify...

This paper tests whether aggregate matching is consistent with unemployment being mainly due to search frictions or due … to job queues. Using U.K. data and correcting for temporal aggregation bias, estimates of the random matching function … are consistent with previous work in this field, but random matching is formally rejected by the data. The data instead …

On this theoretical basis, we argue that the … matching function is vulnerable to the Lucas critique. Our calibrated model for the U.S. economy can account for important …
