Tatsiramos, Konstantinos - 2014

Equilibrium Wage Rigidity in A Search and Matching Model with Replacement Hiring
Teramoto, Kazuhiro - 2022
I propose a new search-and-matching model in which wage rigidity and volatile unemployment endogenously arise. The Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides model is generalized by incorporating job-ladder and vacancy-chain effects arising from on-the-job search and replacement hiring into a long-lived jobs...
