We investigate the role of spatial frictions in search equilibrium unemployment. For that, we develop a model of the labor market in which workers' location in an agglomeration depends on commuting costs, the endogenous price of land and the value of job search and employment. We first show that...

Redundany payments for collective dismissals are incorporated into a Shapiro-Stiglitz model of efficiency wages. it is shown, that a fixed payment will lower wages, leave employment and welfare unaffected if there are no wage-dependent taxes, no additionalfiring costs and if unemployment...
