Wage determination under asymmetric information generates inefficiencies due to excess turnover. Severance pay and layoff taxes can improve efficiency. We show that inefficient separations can even be fully removed with fixed separation taxes in the case where the relevant private information is...

This paper presents a wage bargaining model in which the employer and employee are each uncertain about the other's reservation wage. Under specified circumstances, the model's equilibrium is shown to involve unilateral wage setting and inefficient labor turnover. In addition, aggregate demand...

We provide a general characterization of the structure of rational expectations equilibria of any degree of revelation for pure exchange, sequential economies, with deffinitely many states of private information, an incomplete financial market and nominal assets. We estimate the dimension of the...

This paper tests restrictions implied by the canonical theory of insurance under asymmetric information using ideal … life insurance. We report several findings which are hard to reconcile with the canonical theory. First, we find a striking …-linear pricing than predicted by theory: the theory predicts that prices rise with quantity, but we find that they fall. Third, we …
