This paper explores the possibility of privately inefficient job separations due to bargaining friction and its … implications for the unemployment dynamics. I propose a simple specification of bargaining friction by including bargaining wedges … in the standard Nash bargaining model. Such bargaining wedge arises when, for example, wages are determined by …

In this paper we characterize some cyclical patterns for the Andalusian economy, for the period 1984-2001. Our work is basically an empirical one. Our results show that the Andalusian economy is more volatile than Spain as a whole, although there exist an important degree of coherence between...

It has been noted that the search and matching model cannot account for the observed unemployment fluctuations. Gertler and Trigari (2009) show this weakness of the model disappears when wage stickiness is introduced to the model. Pissarides (2009) disagrees with this modification, arguing that...
