Indeterminacy of intertemporal equilibria under imperfect competition

A new model of equilibrium involuntary unemployment

Kaas, Leo; Madden, Paul - 2004

We show that equilibrium involuntary unemployment emerges in a multi-stage game model where all market power resides with firms, on both the labour and the output market. Firms decide wages, employment, output and prices, and under constant returns there exists a continuum of subgame perfect...
