We estimate a New Keynesian model with matching frictions and nominal wage rigidities on UK data. We are able to … study the transmission mechanism. With matching frictions, wage rigidities have limited effect on inflation dynamics …, despite improving the empirical performance of the model. The reason is that with matching frictions, marginal costs depend on …

We use an estimated monetary business cycle model with search and matching frictions in the labor market and nominal … movements in GDP, unemployment, vacancies, and wages in the period from 2007 until 2011. We show that contractionary financial … factors and reduced efficiency in labor market matching were largely responsible for the experience in the U.S. Financial …

This paper investigates how compositional changes in the UK labour market affect the matching process between vacancies … aggregate search intensity prior to the 2008 recession will tend to obscure the decline in aggregate matching efficiency unless … vacancies posted by different industries provide a potential explanation for some, but not all, of the initial fall in matching …

This paper tests whether aggregate matching is consistent with unemployment being mainly due to search frictions or due … to job queues. Using U.K. data and correcting for temporal aggregation bias, estimates of the random matching function … are consistent with previous work in this field, but random matching is formally rejected by the data. The data instead …
