We integrate individual power in groups into general equilibrium models. The relationship between group formation, resource allocation, and the power of specific individuals or particular sociological groups is investigated. We introduce, via an illustrative example, three appealing concepts of...

We develop a product market theory that explains why firms invest in general training of their workers. We consider a … employees and finally engage in imperfect product market competition. Equilibria with and without training, and multiple … equilibria can emerge. If competition is sufficiently soft and trained workers are substitutes, firms may invest in non …

In this paper we study how promoting product market competition by reducing mark-ups or by increasing productivity are … able to complement labor market reforms. We use a simple general equilibrium model with different types of labor. The … bottom-line of the paper is that product market reforms will help to reduce aggregate unemployment under many circumstances …

We propose a formal concept of the power of voice in the context of a simple model where individuals form groups and trade in competitive markets. Individuals use outside options in two different ways. Actual outside options reflect the possibility to exit or to join other existing groups....
