Product market imperfections and employment dynamics

Carlsson, Mikael; Eriksson, Stefan; Gottfries, Nils - 2011 - rev.

How important is imperfect competition in the product market for employment dynamics? To investigate this, we formulate a theoretical model of employment adjustment with imperfect competition in the product market, search frictions, and convex adjustment costs. From this model, we derive a...
