This article examines unemployment disparities and efficiency in a densely populated economy with two job centers and workers distributed between them. We introduce commuting costs and search-matching frictions to deal with the spatial mismatch between workers and firms. In equilibrium, there...

Fluctuations in the equilibrium rate of unemployment can only be understood within a theory of the natural or … in exchange for immediate employment. The task of the theory is to explain why any unemployment remains at all when these … conditions are satisfied. Part of this problem has been studied in detail in the "search theory" of unemployment -- once a worker …

This paper develops a model of human capital investment in a frictional labor market with two-sided heterogeneity and liquidity constraints. The model generates underemployment in equilibrium: workers are employed in jobs for which they are over-qualified. Subsidizing education can decrease the...
