Business cycle asymmetries and the labor market
Kohlbrecher, Britta; Merkl, Christian - 2022
This paper shows that a search and matching model with idiosyncratic training cost shocks can explain the asymmetric movement of the job-finding rate over the business cycle and the decline of matching efficiency in recessions. Large negative aggregate shocks move the hiring cutoff into a part...

A simple theory of optimal redistributive taxation with equilibrium unemployment
Hungerbühler, Mathias; Lehmann, Etienne; Parmentier, Alexis - 2010
We propose a canonical model of optimal nonlinear redistributive taxation with matching unemployment. In our model … efficient values, at the optimum gross wages and unemployment are lower. Average tax rates are moreover increasing in wages. The … robustness of these properties is also discussed. -- Optimal income taxation ; unemployment ; matching …
