This paper develops a sufficient-statistic formula for the unemployment gap-the difference between the actual … unemployment rate and the efficient unemployment rate. While lowering unemployment puts more people into work, it forces firms to … post more vacancies and to devote more resources to recruiting. This unemployment-vacancy tradeoff, governed by the …
