In this paper we study the allocation of workers over high and low productivity firms in a labor market with … coordination frictions. Specifically, we consider a search model where workers can apply to high and or low productivity firms … and sending both to the low productivity sector. But, efficiency requires that they apply to both sectors because a higher …
