Recent studies have highlighted the existence of asymmetries in employment dynamics. This paper contributes to the analysis of this dynamics through the explicit modelling of its two components -job creations and job destructions. We propose a simple matching model extended for endogenous...

It is often argued that the tax on continued work should be removed by implementing actuarially fair schemes. However, these schemes cannot help finance the expected Social Security deficit. This paper proposes to give individuals on a fraction of the marginal actuarially fair incentives in case...

This paper considers a particular modification of preferences in a dynamic general equilibrium model with labor-market search that implies, despite the efficient risk-sharing, unemployed workers are worse off. We show that this specific assumption allows to account for the acyclicity of the real...

Cette étude a pour objectif d'évaluer l'incidence du salaire minimum et des revenus de substitution, allocation-chômage et revenu minimum d'insertion, sur les inégalités de salaire, sur le chômage et plus généralement sur l'optimalité de l'équilibre du marché du travail. Nous...

This paper studies the cyclical labor market properties of a model wich aims to account for the Phillips and Beveridge curves. Monopolistic competition and sticky prices on the goods market are introduced in a labor market search model disturbed by both technological and money supply shocks. We...

This paper investigates the accuracy of a perturbation method in approximating the solution to stochastic equilibrium models under rational expectations. As a benchmark model, we use a version of asset pricing models proposed by Burnside [1988] which admits a closed-form solution while not...
