This paper presents a new framework to analyze the effects of some economics factors on the U.S. distribution of wages.

This paper provides valuable information of where in the wage distribution dynamics these fact...

We show that this lack of compensating differentials for unemployment risk can arise in equilibrium when all workers are identical and firms differ only in job security (i.e. the probability that the worker is not sent into unemployment). In a setting where workers search for new positions both o...

Increasing wealth or increasing pollution enhance green attitude and reduce the externality, because ...
