largest one among the matchings in which no agent can be better off by itself. We show that, in the one-to-one matching model …, the number of matches in any stable matching is more than or equal to the smallest integer that is not less than half of … the benchmark number. This result is satisfied even if "stable matching" is replaced by "efficient matching". We extend …

This paper explores the possibility of privately inefficient job separations due to bargaining friction and its implications for the unemployment dynamics. I propose a simple specification of bargaining friction by including bargaining wedges in the standard Nash bargaining model. Such...

We examine the implications of worker heterogeneity on the equilibrium matching process, using a directed search model … expression for the equilibrum matching function. This function has constant returns to scale and two new terms, which are …

We analyze the impact of information frictions on workers' wages, contributing to the literature that tested search theory, which has so far focused on labor market frictions in general and not specifically on information asymmetries. Using data for 16 countries from the European Social Survey...

Since the last recession, it is usually argued that older workers are less affected by the economic downturn because their unemployment rate rose less than the one of prime-age workers. This view is a myth: older workers are more sensitive to the business cycle. We document volatilities of...
