In this paper, we analyze the dynamic behavior of employment and hours worked per worker in a stochastic general equilibrium model with a matching mechanism between vacancies and unemployed workers. The model is estimated for the U.S. using the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) estimation...

A dynamic general equilibrium model of financial intermediation and occupational choice is proposed based on empirical regularities, in order to study supply-side credit crunches and possible policy solutions. Asset accumulation by households as they face various employment and return risks over...
