Does a country?s level of unemployment have an impact on the long-run growth rate? Incorporating unemployment into a … unemployment on productivity growth heavily depends on the influence of human capital in the production function. In the … traditional Solow model, unemployment has neither an influence on long-run productivity growth nor on the long-run level of …

extension of the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides (DMP) matching model that allows for employed job search and negotiation over … of unemployment. We further find that allowing for on-the-job search markedly changes the quantitative predictions of the … DMP model regarding the impact of firing costs on unemployment and employment flows: ignoring on-the-job search leads one …

This paper uses the search and matching framework to explore the impact of employed job search on the labour market …-to-job flows and labour force entries and exits. Employed job search is shown to have a substantial impact on unemployment dynamics … but a negligible one on the level of unemployment. More on-the-job search leads to lower unemployment inflow and outflow …

This paper provides a simple matching model in which unemployed workers and employers in large firms can be matched … increasing the number of workers embedded in the social networks can increase the unemployment rate and decrease workers welfare …

This paper tests whether aggregate matching is consistent with unemployment being mainly due to search frictions or due … to job queues. Using U.K. data and correcting for temporal aggregation bias, estimates of the random matching function … are consistent with previous work in this field, but random matching is formally rejected by the data. The data instead …

The labor search and matching model plays a growing role in macroeconomic analysis. This paper provides a critical …, selective survey of the literature. Four fundamental questions are explored: how are unemployment, job vacancies, and employment …? How are wages determined? What role do labor market dynamics play in explaining business cycles and growth? The survey …

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 …
