We explain the positive correlation between union power and tax progressivity from a normative point of view by integrating labour market frictions and union power in an optimal taxation framework. We find that unions and redistributive taxation are complementary in the sense that they both...

This paper characterizes optimal non-linear income taxation in an economy with a continuum of unobservable productivity levels and endogenous involuntary unemployment due to frictions in the labor markets. Redistributive taxation distorts labor demand and wages. Compared to the laissez-faire,...

This paper presents a theory explaining the labor market matching process through microeconomic incentives. There are … quit decisions. This approach obviates the need for a matching function. On this theoretical basis, we argue that the … matching function is vulnerable to the Lucas critique. Our calibrated model for the U.S. economy can account for important …

This study investigates whether and to what extent further unemployment experience for youths who are already long-term unemployed imposes a penalty on subsequent labor market outcomes. We propose a flexible method for analyzing the effect on wages aside of transitions from unemployment and...
