We analyze the welfare cost of inflation in a model with cash-in-advance constraints and an endogenous distribution of establishments' productivities. Inflation distorts aggregate productivity through firm entry dynamics. The model is calibrated to the United States economy and the long-run...

This paper describes the changes in the composition of the labor force in the last 35 years and quantifies the substitution of low education/high experience workers by low experience/high education workers by using US and French microdata. The consequences of this substitution on the wage...
