Signaling in the Labor Market: New Evidence on Layoffs and Plant Closings

Rodríguez-Planas, Núria - 2004

Kaas, Leo; Madden, Paul - 1999

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...
